The model and actress has accused the comedian, whose real name is Mongezi Mahlangu, of sexual assault and rape which she said happened while they worked on a production together.“For many years, I have been battling to find the courage and support to speak up against a number of acts of violence which have happened to me.
“In 2014, I was sexually assaulted and raped by Mongezi 'Tol Ass Mo' Mahlangu while working on a television production in Paarl, Western Cape. “For numerous reasons, I did not open a case at the time and only shared this experience with one of the other participants on the show”, she said in the statement.She said that after she shared bits of the experience on social media, she was met with attempts to silence her.
In the statement, she said:"In the past two month’s I have been served with letters from his attorneys to remove my tweets. “A protection order was then applied for against me along with an interim order demanding that I delete my tweets and effectively attempting to silence me just after I found my voice to speak about my experiences.Lerato thanked everyone who has supported her and encouraged her and ended the statement by saying “the days of silence are over”.
