Lerato Nxumalo Goes Off After Women Flood Her Husband’s DMs — “We’re Taking Legal Action!”

Yoh! Actress Lerato Nxumalo has officially had enough. After the internet “uncovered” her Swedish husband, Tobias Pettersson, the ladies of Mzansi decided to do a little “research” of their own — by flooding his inbox with friend requests. now? Lerato has clapped back hard.

Taking to her Instagram Stories, the Durban Gen star exposed screenshots showing a dozen women who sent her husband requests the moment his name went public.

Someone said: Imagine getting married and people think your husband is a trending topic. You go viral for MARRIAGE and suddenly there’s a list of women trying to follow and DM your husband.
I see you all.

While Lerato Nxumalo said: “’ll be taking legal action because this is harassment.”

Lerato then posted screenshots of the culprits’ Instagram handles — and yoooh, Mzansi women didn’t take it well!

Lerato Nxumalo Says “You Followed the Wrong Man, Ladies!” 

The twist? Turns out — the man everyone’s been following isn’t even Lerato’s real husband. 💀💀

Yes, you read that right. All that thirsting, following, and exposing — and it’s the wrong Tobias.

Mzansi couldn’t handle it:

@kotathefoe said: “You guys did what y’all did with that other wife and went and followed Lerato Nxumalo’s alleged husband — and she’s put all your IGs on her story 😭😭😭😭😭😭. Apparently y’all are even following the wrong guy 😭😭 nizoyeka nini ukugijimisa amadoda abantu laydees?!”

@naledi__lolo added: “Lerato Nxumalo’s stories???? omg! SOUTH AFRICAN women are embarrassing! BRING BACK SHAME!”

@sa_working_girl wrote: “A teaspoon of shame a day would have helped you not to appear from that list banyana baka💀 But I love Lerato Nxumalo’s work!😭😭”

@miss_hatla said: “She is tired of y’all — so many requests for someone that’s not even her husband, oh South Ah😭”

@ketso_28 shaded: “They called him unattractive, not so ‘fine’ but they also see him worth following? This is super weird & I applaud her for doing this. Le sele gampe Basadi, le rata banna ba batho.”

@majonyana34 didn’t hold back: “She’s so insecure, hence exposing these people’s names and hiding Tobias’s farmer face 😩 Girl really is protecting her investment ‼️”

And @jess8245 ended it all with:
“The girls were calling him ugly yesterday but now they are in his DMs harassing him and his family?”

Mzansi Reacts: From Curiosity to Chaos

What started as curiosity about Lerato’s mystery man has now spiralled into full-on Instagram drama — and apparently, legal threats.
