Screenshots: Actress Jessica Nkosi is breathing fire

It is no secret that award-winning TV actress Jessica Nkosi is a sweetheart but when she is angry, she does not shy away from venting out her frustrations on social media and clapping back at her trolls mercilessly.

Taking to her Instagram stories she gave those who have been bothering her a peace of mind. The actress penned a series of stories lamenting how in the past two weeks people have pushed her button to a point where she snapped.

Her anger stems from having given people reactions to what happened over the past two weeks. In her scathing message, she said she doesn’t like to be pushed to the point of anger.

“Yazi mina I’m very slow to get you to a point of anger. I choose to be quiet nje and choose peace, like it take a lot to get to a point where I am angry. Over the last two weeks, I have been mad angry and lost my cool twice at the same place. Once a particular place can get me to that point I know its time to remove myself and exit. because now it is messing with my peace and I don’t play with that. Actually nje angithandi ukusukwelwa mina nje period,” she wrote.

She went on to say that she doesn’t like it when people take advantage of her because she does not also inconvenience other people.

“People like to take advantage of me coz they know my reply will always be silent and more times than not I will go out of my way to not inconvenience people. I have a tendency of putting others before myself inconveniencing myself but ya that’s that but I know when I am being taken for a ride, I will push back and it will be ugly. people will poke and poke until they get a reaction from you and twice in 2 weeks i have given them that reaction I am mad at myself,” she wrote.

We salute her for protecting her mental health. While we may know who she was addressing. The last time we witnessed Jessica angry like this was when she called out her baby daddy for infidelity. TK Dlamini had allegedly cheated on her and she was breathing fire.

The actress gestured at the woman who had been seeing her baby daddy behind her back – that she could publicly claim him as hers. Her followers even sent her pictures of the two of them out and about. In a seies of Insta stories she wrote:

“To you who is seeing the father of my child behind my back. You are free to be with him fully now, no more hiding, lol enjoy babe,” she wrote on IG. “And yes, I am heart broken, shattered actually. But you know what I will be fine, Good in fact.”

“To my Instagram followers who came with the receipts and pictures when you saw them out together. Thank you, you truly love and care for me. Ngiyabonga, would have never believed,” she vented.

As she celebrates her 31st birthday, let’s look at the moments over the past year when she created some noise. When Jessica Nkosi on Instagram slammed body shamers
Nkosi was candid about recording her weight loss journey, particularly after giving birth to her gorgeous baby girl, Nami Dlamini.

Jessica Nkosi took to Instagram to post a photo of her getting ready for the gym but she jokingly mentioned that she was actually happier in her bed. Though a lot of the folks appreciated her fitness and beauty, some trolls started body-shaming her viciously.

The Queen actress Jessica Nkosi attacked for her ‘unattractive’ body

Lol! Why can’t the social media streets for once, spare our favourite local celebs from criticism? Actress and mom of one; Jessica Nkosi got trolled for not having the perfect body.

Nkosi who has resorted to blocking haters for trolling her daily for her imperfect body says that she knows that she doesn’t have the greatest body and will block anyone who body shames her.

The Queen actress wrote this on her IG stories: “The vile, mean, horrible things people say though. I’m very happy about the block button. Kodwa nje it really does hurt. Like why would you attack me about my body?

I know my body, trust me I look at it every day, and I live in it. Manje wena you feel a need to point stuff out as if I do not know. SMH . Just live your life. I actually really do not want to hear your negativity here.”

Nkosi who’s been vocal about her weight loss journey since giving birth to her baby girl; Nami Dlamini, has vulnerably and openly documented her struggles to get her old banging body back.

She recently posted pics on her Instagram dressed in matching tights and a long t-shirt getting ready to hit the gym, where she also mentioned that she prefers staying in bed. Although her fans applauded her banging body and congratulated her for staying in shape there were trolls on standby waiting to rain on her parade.

The actress revealed that she’s been on a blocking spree since March as she’s exhausted of negative opinions on her TL. She further stated that the negative comments are people who don’t even fall under her 1.1m-strong following on Twitter.

She tweeted: “It’s actually so annoying when a person who doesn’t even follow you comments on your posts, futhi acommente umsuzo nje! First of all you’re a creep and get off my page. I block creeps who don’t follow me but still magically comment on my tweets.”

“They are not allowed to comment! I don’t want their opinion. If you don’t follow someone phuma nje kuye.”

Actress Jessica Nkosi allegedly back together with baby daddy TK Dlamini

It seems The Queen actress Jessica Nkosi and her baby daddy TV heartthrob TK Dlamini are back together if their latest lunch date is anything to go by. For the longest time, the two have been rumored to have rekindled their love following their dramatic breakup, but they have not made their relationship status public.

One cannot deny that the two are one of Mzansi celebs’ most adorable parents, and their co-parenting techniques are all sort of cute and inspiring.

Their eagle-eyed fans were left wondering if they are still a couple after both posted a series of Instagram stories of their lunch date, proving that they were together and they had a blast.

Jessica posted a video on her stories toasting a drink with TK Dlamini but only showing off his hand, with a Louis Vuitton wallet case on the table. The actress captioned her video (Ngikhishiwe) meaning someone has taken her out, with a heart emoji.

Jessica also posted her meal expressing how yummy it looked and TK also posted a video of a similar meal with the same Louis Vuitton wallet case on the table.

The lovebirds hogged the headlines last year in September after Jessica aired TK’s dirty laundry on Instagram. Jessica made infidelity allegations against TK in a series of Insta-stories.

This follows after social media users alerted Jessica that her baby daddy was cheating. Jessica posted on her Instagram stories exposing TK and said to the woman who was seeing him can continue doing so without any fear, ” To you who is seeing the father of my child behind my back, you are free to be with him freely now, no more hiding lol, enjoy babe”.

The starlet later confirmed that they were no longer an item. Some tweeps also dragged her saying karma has found her address. This follows after she was rumored to have snatched Nomzamo Mbatha‘s fiancee Khaya Mthethwa.

Jessica and TK have been spending a lot of time together lately, even though sometimes they do not post pictures of them together but social media detectives often prove that they were together.

We cannot dispute the fact that the two are the epitome of celebrities being able to juggle a career, a family, but we admire the manner in which they still manage to keep their affairs under wraps and focus on raising their daughter.
