Acclaimed actor and TV personality Amanda du Pont has taken to social media and accused musician Jub Jub Molemo Maarohany of rape and attempted murder.
Du Pont opened up about her past with Jub Jub in an emotionally charged Instagram video in response to allegations made by the musician on a recent episode of Podcast and Chill which premiered this week on Channel O.
In the video, Du Pnt breaks down saying, “"I was raped, physically and emotionally abused for two years by Jub Jub. The only thing I did wrong was keep quiet. But that ends here. I will not be publicly ridiculed by this criminal. Him and Mac G saw it fit to drag my name on their podcast for clout at the cost of amplifying a Gender-Based Violence Case,[sic]"
Du Pont’s 18-minute video comes during the global campaign, 16 Days for No Violence Against Women and Children.
