South African television presenter and actress Minnie Dlamini announced that she and her estranged husband Quinton Jones filed for divorce on 15 February after “changes in motion”, but it seems there is more to the story… The Homeground presenter topped Twitter’s trending list on Tuesday 10 May after rumours about her cheating on Quinton during their marriage set the app ablaze.
In a statement posted on Instagram on 15 February, Minnie Dlamini shared that “emotional burden” and the post-traumatic distress” of she and Quinton’s “individual loss outweighed” their will.
“After months after separation and consultations with our family and a counsellor, we have taken the decision to officially file for divorce,” read the statement.
“Despite the end of our marriage and romantic relationship, we remain friends, business partners and loving parents to our beautiful son.”
DID MINNIE CHEAT ON QUINTON?
Taking to Twitter on 10 May, blogger Musa Khawula claimed that Minnie Dlamini cheated on Quinton Jones during their five-year marriage which prompted Quinton to file for divorce.
“Rumour has it, Minnie Dlamini had been cold towards Quinton Jones after her brother’s passing.”
Dlamini lost her brother, Khosini, in September 2019 after he was on life support for 23 days. According to SowetanLive, the 27-year-old had suffered a brain aneurism.
TWEEPS WEIGH IN
Reacting to the rumours, some tweeps questioned if the rumours were true, while others were stunned.
“This is very deep and personal, I’m choking on air,” wrote one tweep.
“If these things Musa posts are true then it’s definitely their close friends sharing these stories with him,” wrote another tweep.
“People will spill hey, people close to these people are giving Musa the tea. No other way,” wrote another tweep.
“Should we expect Unbecoming Mr Jones on our screens?”
