It seems like the Real Housewives of Johannesburg are caught up in some serious financial drama. Reports have surfaced that the cast of the show has not been paid, and Sonia Mbele Films, the production company behind the series, is facing allegations of non-payment as well.
Netizens wasted no time in sharing their thoughts on the scandal, and let’s just say, they didn’t hold back. Some suggested possible solutions, while others threw shade at Sonia and the cast. Rumours even started swirling that Sonia may have used the money to fund her alleged Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL).

Entertainment commentator Phil Mphela took to Twitter to reveal that the RHOJ cast is still waiting for their money. To make matters worse, Sonia Mbele Films reportedly has an outstanding balance of over R600K, in addition to the R12M they already received. Certain cast members claim to have outstanding balances dating back to July 2023.
Netizens had their own ideas on how the show could avoid these alleged money troubles. One user suggested that, as a businessperson, you should always have reserved funds for situations like this. Another proposal is to sell the franchise to Showmax and bring in new faces to revitalise the show.
