A JOHANNESBU­RG TV and radio personalit­y is embroiled in a bitter spat with the father of her child.

The couple reportedly tied the knot last year.

The man took to Instagram to launch a scathing attack on the mother of his child and her family over their alleged refusal to let him access the toddler.

He unleashed videos taken by him on his cellphone in an alleged altercatio­n with the star’s family.

The man claims to have gone to the woman’s home to see his threemonth-old son when the family, including her famous mother, grandmothe­r and aunt verbally abused him. They allegedly locked the house and refused to let him leave.

In the two videos he posted on his Instagram page before deleting all his social media pages, the man is heard having a screaming match with the star’s aunt and grandmothe­r. The latter is heard yelling, “you came to my house with your mother saying you want to get married”. The granny then suggests they call the police.

All the time a baby is heard crying in the background and the man pleads: “Look how my son is crying… Just let me go please.”

A second woman shows up in the second video, holding the baby and saying “This is not your son, it’s my son. I made love to (name withheld), you made love to your mother, go get your child from your mother”. The man posted on Instagram that he asked “more than once to be let out”.

“The moment I walk in the door they lock it ...

“I have been going to lawyers ... her lawyers just dodge court document[s]. [They] won’t reply. Nobody will do the right thing even after they suggested doing this through lawyers. The sheriff is trying to find [her] to serve her court documents so we can sort this out. She lies and dodges him everyday…

“I can’t bring back the moments I am losing without my son and nobody can give those back to me ... All I want is to be an equal part[ner] in my son’s life but clearly [be]cause I am an everyday guy and [she] is a celebrity she can do what she wants,” he claimed.

All I want is to “be an equal part[ner] in my son’s life...
