‘I don't think Her Majesty's apology was sincere' – Noksie on The Mommy Club reunion
Season three of The Mommy Club has officially ended.
By far, this was the most controversial season the mommies have had.
Not only were feuds and insults hurled, but there were also divisions.
The reunion which was hosted by TV presenter, actress and singer Ntombee Ngcobo-Mzolo, were no different as they brought on confrontations and tears.
Emotions ran high, nothing was sugar-coated, and every issue viewers have been buzzing about was laid bare. From Pheladi's absence and Mrs Sande's emotional state to the bullying accusations that sparked serious conversations online, the ladies didn't hold back.
One of the biggest moments of the reunion came when Season 3 newcomer Mrs J stormed out after a heated exchange with Vuyi, leaving everyone gagged. While there were apologies and attempts to move forward, it's clear that not all wounds have healed, and where their relationships stand now is everyone's guess.
Noksie, who has been at the centre of the biggest feud of the season, didn't shy away from spilling tea, sharing her thoughts on what really went down at the reunion, how she feels about the other ladies, her celebrity fans and more.

Reflecting on her time on the show, she says it wasn't what she expected.
'I went in thinking I'd be surrounded by empowered, thriving boss babes, women glowing from the inside out. Instead, I found myself among people carrying a lot of hurt and sadness, which was honestly quite disheartening.'
Going into the show, the mother of one aimed to increase her brand visibility as a real estate agent. At the very least, she has achieved her goal.
'I'm really happy that sellers are now approaching me directly, which has made things easier for my real estate business.'
Despite knowing that she doesn't thrive in group settings, she has been shown love and support by the public with some people even calling her the breakout star of the season.
Now, everywhere she goes, she's recognised and showered with words of appreciation.
'I've had quite a few well-known people reach out to me, and it's been so heartwarming. One of them is the incredible Khanyi Mbau. What a queen! I'm truly grateful.'
After the explosive reunion, Noksie has stayed in touch with Mrs J, who's been her day one, unlike Pheladi.

'As for the rest of the ladies, even though apologies were exchanged at the reunion, they're still not people I'd keep close. That said, I genuinely wish them all the best,' she adds.
Most of the cast members were dissatisfied with a lot of production decisions, as Mrs J went as far as storming out of the reunion because her children's scene did not make it to the final product, nor were they invited to the reunion like Vuyi and Her Majesty's daughters.
Other cast members accused the production company of twisting their arms and words to suit an unpleasant narrative.
To that, Noksie says they were merely doing their job.

'The production team is simply doing their job. They have their mandate, just like the cast does. Their role is to showcase what was filmed. It's really simple: if you don't want to be perceived in a certain way, don't behave that way. While we were shooting, I kept wondering if they realised this would eventually air. That's when it became clear to me that they didn't seem to care much about their image. Their main focus was bringing me down, without thinking about how their behaviour would reflect on them in the end.'
Apologies flew across the room at the reunion. Some were accepted and some were dug out from deep holes.
Although she was introduced to the group by Her Majesty, she doesn't believe the mother of three's apology was genuine.
'I don't think that her apology was sincere, but I just wanted to move on and move away.'
To the new mommies who could be joining The Mommy Club in season four, she advises them to be themselves.
'My advice to the new mommy joining the show would be to simply be yourself. That's the most powerful thing you can be. Your tribe will naturally gravitate toward you, and those who aren't meant for you will fall away, just as they should.'

‘Leave It to Beaver' star Jerry Mathers grateful show still helps people 'in this crazy world'
The gang is back together again. Jerry Mathers, who starred as Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver in the hit '50s sitcom "Leave It to Beaver," recently reunited with the surviving cast members at The Hollywood Show in Burbank, California. "It was so wonderful to be with my friends from 'Leave It to Beaver' – Stephen Talbot (Gilbert Bates), Jeri Weil (Judy Hensler), Luke Tiger Farfara (Tooey Brown) and Veronica Cartwright (Violet Rutherford) for a reunion," the former child star told Fox News Digital in a statement. "We took photos and signed autographs with the fans who were so gracious and happy to be with us," the 77-year-old shared. "Hard to believe it is almost 70 years since 'Leave It to Beaver' first aired on television. Our fans are so devoted, and many write to me that they record the show in the morning and watch it at night so they can have a peaceful sleep in this crazy world." "I am very grateful to be associated with such a heartfelt show that touches the lives of so many families in such a positive way," Mathers added. "Leave It to Beaver," which was synonymous with the wholesome image of the 1950s American family, aired on the small screen from 1957 to 1963. According to People magazine, the show still has a legion of fans, thanks to syndication. The outlet noted that the first season is streaming on Peacock. According to the outlet, Mathers and his onscreen brother Tony Dow, who played Wally, starred in the reboot of "Leave It to Beaver," titled "The New Leave It to Beaver," from 1983 to 1989. The castmates have endured loss in recent years. Ken Osmond, who played two-faced teenage scoundrel Eddie Haskell before leading a second career as a police officer, died in 2020 at age 76. Dow, who later found success as a sculptor, passed away in 2022 at age 77. WATCH: LEAVE IT TO BEAVER STAR JERRY MATHERS REVEALS WHY HE WAS READY TO LEAVE HIT 50S SITCOM Mathers' on-screen dad, played by Hugh Beaumont, died in 1982. The family matriarch, played by Barbara Billingsley, passed away in 2010. She was 94. Back in 2023, Mathers described to Fox News Digital how he had been just a teen when he found himself out of a job once the series came to an end. "It ended at the right time for me," he said at the time. "I wanted to play sports and, of course, working in the studio, that wasn't something I was able to do. I was [now] able to be on the track team and football team. That was something I really wanted to do." "It was nice being in [a normal school]," he reflected. "I had a private tutor for the whole time that I was on the show. Now I was at a regular school, and it was a lot of fun. And I made a lot of good friends." Mathers said his family was just as supportive when he was ready to take on a completely different role in life. "I spent six years in the National Guard," he said. "There [wasn't] any kind of combat or anything like that, but we were a transport unit. A lot of times, the planes would come back, and they had a lot of damage to them. . . . It was not a lot of fun, because we were doing very, very hard work, but it was something that I [felt] I should do for my country. . . . It was something I was proud to do." Over the years, Mathers focused on life outside the spotlight. At one point, he became a real estate agent. There was no urgency to return to acting, he insisted. "It was something that I liked doing, but I also liked being able to have my own life," he said. "Life for me today is very, very good. I have 'Leave It to Beaver,' but I can also go out and meet people." "I'm a grandfather now. . . . It's wonderful," he continued. "I also have a wonderful wife, and we have a great time with the grandchildren. We get to babysit them every once in a while. . . . I still do autograph shows, because those are fun. I get to go all over the country. "People still come up to me with questions about the show and what I'm doing. . . . I'm just so grateful. . . . I just have a wonderful life because 'Leave It to Beaver' has made me so many friends. . . . All the things that happened to me were so good."

Johnny Marr Reveals Real Reason He Turned Down 'Eye-Watering' Offer To Reunite With Morrissey
Music legend Johnny Marr has said there was a very simple reason he wasn't interested in getting The Smiths back together. In September 2024, former Smiths frontman Morrissey claimed that he and his former bandmate had been made a 'lucrative offer' months earlier to reunite. While he claimed that he'd been in favour of a reunion, he wrote that Marr had simply 'ignored the offer', though the man himself later insisted: 'I didn't ignore the offer – I said no.' During an interview on the podcast Stick To Football, the guitar hero confirmed: 'We [had] an offer [to reunite] recently, but I said no.' He went on to say the decision was 'a little bit about principles', adding: 'But I'm not an idiot, I just think the vibe's not right. Bad vibe.' 'It was an eye-watering amount of money,' Marr noted, but pointed out: 'I really like what I'm doing now which makes it a lot easier. I really like where I'm at. I still work, I craft, I still want to write the best song I've ever written. I want to be a better performer.' In an attempted dig at his former bandmate last year, Morrissey wrote on his official website when Marr's dismissal of a Smiths reunion was made public: 'Morrissey said Yes to the offer; Marr ignored the offer. 'Morrissey undertakes a largely sold out tour of the USA in November. Marr continues to tour as a special guest to New Order.' Morrissey has come under fire on numerous occasions in the last few years for his commentary on politics both in the UK and abroad, as well as his apparent endorsement of far-right groups and parties. Around the time that Morrissey first alleged that Marr had thrown the brakes on a Smiths reunion, the guitarist responded to one X user's calls for the group to get back together with a simple photo of a grinning Nigel Farage, the leader of the Reform party, of whom the Everyday Is Like Sunday singer has previously spoken favourably.

From meme to movie: My F*k Marelize trailer promises feel-good fun
'Before the memes, before the rugby pole, she was just Marelize,' reads the tagline for the feature film My F*k Marelize. Marelize Horn went viral in 2019 for her video of riding a bike into a rugby pole, and now it's a movie! MultiChoice announced last year at the Silwerskerm Film Festival that they had commissioned a film based on the viral video. Written by Brett Michael Innes and directed by Zandr Coetzer, the film is inspired by the events leading up to the iconic rugby pole incident. When the film was announced, Innes said, 'When people think of a movie based on the phrase 'my f*k, Marelize', they're probably expecting a slapstick comedy about a teenager who always bumps into things. The story of the Horn family has so much more depth than that, and we can't wait to surprise viewers with it.' The trailer for the film was released on Friday. The coming-of-age story stars Je-ani Swiegelaar, Zandelle Meyer, Neels Clasen, and Nichola Viviers as the Horn family. 'Heidi is a strong-willed woman hiding her cancer from her family. Marelize, her accident-prone daughter, needs to learn how to ride a bike to become an au pair in the Netherlands. How hard can that be?' reads the synopsis.
