Miss SA 2025 Drama: Bridgette Jones Hit With Bullying Allegations, Organization Responds
The Miss South Africa pageant is no stranger to controversy—and this year is proving no different. Just days after the Top 10 finalists were announced, contestant Bridgette Jones has been accused of bullying by a former colleague in a viral TikTok video.
The since-deleted clip, posted by Kayla Jenecker, described Jones as a “bully,” alleging she and a group of women verbally harassed her at work. Jenecker said the matter was reported to management and is now part of an ongoing disciplinary hearing.
She further claimed that Jones made “false statements” during the process and that a previous Instagram post she shared about the incident was allegedly taken down under pressure from the company’s CEO.

The organization stressed that they rely on official processes when handling complaints of this nature.
