No cliffhangers as Louw’s book reveals all

SINGER Marah Louw holds nothing back in her newly released autobiography‚ It’s Me‚ Marah ‚ in which she details all aspects of her life except for her altercation with Gareth Cliff – whom she says will not get any attention from her.

She said she found it “difficult” to speak about Cliff and admitted she could not bring herself to mention him in the book. “There’s somewhere where I say I don’t ever wanna speak about Idols again‚ ever again. I will not give them any piece of publicity.

“So that boy – I call him a boy because he is a boy – I am not giving him any‚ any attention‚” she said.

Louw‚ who started writing the book in 2015‚ was referring to the incident which saw her being fired from Idols for allegedly being drunk during a live broadcast.

Cliff admitted in his own book Cliffhanger‚ Confessions of a Shock Jock‚ to handing Louw a drink that contained vodka and Red Bull in 2010.

The incident saw Louw making headlines across the country and left her image tarnished.

The actress‚ who is currently playing aunt Boi on The Queen‚ has admitted her book might raise some controversy as she doesn’t hide anybody’s name.

Cliff made headlines late last year just days before his book hit shelves.

“It’s not common practice to have a drink on set‚ but that evening one of the crew brought a bottle of vodka for a pre-show celebratory drink.

“I [Cliff] passed Marah her drink and all was well until halfway through the show when she became a touch emotional‚ or maybe delirious.

“Needless to say‚ the press had a field day and I was the one Marah threw under the bus during a radio interview the next day‚” Cliff said in the book. — TMG
