It seems like drama always follows the ladies of reality TV, whether it’s during filming or on social media. The latest star to find herself in the middle of controversy is Maria Valaskatzis from Real Housewives of Durban (RHOD).
Actress, model, and TV personality Naliyani Uma took to Instagram and Twitter to accuse Maria of using her designer shades, accessories, and jewellery without permission.
Naliyani claims that she noticed this while watching an episode of RHOD, where Maria was seen wearing items that belonged to her.
Naliyani alleges that she had left her assets at Neil’s home, who happens to be a stylist. She believes that Maria must have come across her belongings and decided to make them a part of her own wardrobe.
#RHOD i had no idea my wardrobe was styling Maria this season. Stop lying, Neil isn’t a cross dresser to have diamanté chokers and starfish jewellery. Let’s not touch on my deisgner shades . pic.twitter.com/PvkDCN9o8H

Let’s rewind, a year ago you wanted Neil and I to style you, by July 2023 I decided to end my relationship with Neil due to our own conflict. You then started shooting for #RHOD in September and started using MY property to gain an income pic.twitter.com/dz1hVHdzNk

This accusation has sparked a social media frenzy, with fans taking sides and speculating about the truth behind the claims. Some believe that Maria is guilty of borrowing without permission, while others think it’s just a case of mistaken identity.
Regardless of the truth, one thing is for sure – drama is never far away when it comes to reality TV stars. Whether it’s on-screen or off, these ladies know how to keep the spotlight on them.
Will Maria address these allegations publicly? Will Naliyani provide any evidence to support her claims? Only time will tell.
