‘Boity Thulo and Khanya Mkangisa in social media meltdown’
Boity, TV presenter Mkangisa do a bit of over-sharing
Rapper and media personality Boity Thulo and TV presenter Khanyisa Mkangisa have taken their social media presence to a whole new level.
During this lengthy lockdown period, both Thulo and Mkangisa were captured on their Instagram live broadcasts acting rather silly.
Thulo went on Instagram and started a live feed at around 3am on Sunday, while Mkangisa flashed her breasts in another broadcast.
Unfortunately for Thulo, she seemed too drunk to realise what she was doing and was reprimanded by her manager
Bash to log off.
She later went onto Twitter, admitting that she had been totally intoxicated and apologised to her fans.
“Oh s**t. I’m drunk. Sorry,” she said.
Later Thulo said: “That live was embarrassing. But hilarious.”
Meanwhile, Mkangisa flashed her breasts to her fans watching an Instagram live conversation she had with fellow actress Omuhle
Gela, who told the former The Queen actress to stop flashing her breast.
Mkangisa did not respond to text messages and calls sent to her at the time of publication.
Social media law expert Emma Sadleir said celebrity meltdowns on social media were embarrassing regardless of social standing and came with serious legal implications. “Basically the law says that as soon as the content has been seen by another person, all the laws kick in. It makes no difference whether you are doing something on TV or radio, stage or social media.
“Behaving drunk or having a nice time is not illegal. But, certainly, if someone were to do something illegal there would be a huge issue. From a social media point of view, if you work for a company and you are doing something illegal, you could be fired because you are bringing the company into disrepute. Sadleir said that there was no such thing as “personal capacity on social media”. “As soon as you have either an employment relationship or an influencer arrangement then you have got to think of what your duties are to the people that pay you,” she said.
