Reality television star and singer Londie London has revealed plans to pursue legal action against fellow Real Housewives of Durban (RHOD) cast member Minnie Ntuli after an explosive altercation aired during the Season 5 reunion. The incident, which involved physical contact and a vulgar insult, has sparked a massive backlash online, with fans calling for Minnie to be removed from the entertainment industry altogether.
During Part 2 of the reunion special, which aired on Friday, 11 July 2025, previously unseen footage showed Minnie Ntuli aggressively pushing Londie’s forehead and making a crude remark: “I work on my feet, you work on your back.” The footage left viewers stunned and outraged, prompting Londie to break her silence.
In a direct and emotional statement following the reunion episode, Londie confirmed her intention to press charges. “I want nothing to do with Minnie. I’m going to open a case of assault. I’m also serving her for defamation of character. If she were here, I would have served her already. She deserves it. She’s evil and deserves to spend two weeks in jail,” Londie said.
Although Minnie Ntuli issued an apology that was read aloud by host Angel Ndlela during the reunion, Londie refused to accept it, maintaining that the apology came too late and did not absolve Minnie of her actions.

The feud between the two women has been brewing since Londie’s return to RHOD in Season 5. According to Minnie, the tension began over a seemingly minor comment Londie made about her outfit during their first meeting. However, the friction escalated quickly, culminating in repeated jabs and public humiliation. Minnie’s “backhanded” comment, which appeared to suggest that Londie engages in sex work, ignited further fury among fans who viewed it as defamatory and misogynistic.
Minnie’s actions have not gone unnoticed. Outraged viewers took to social media to express their support for Londie and to demand accountability. Some fans called Minnie’s behavior “vile” and “unprofessional,” while others went as far as saying she should be permanently removed from the show and other media platforms.
@owaamidlamini tweeted: “Minnie must never be seen in the media industry again. I’m so mad, haibo!”
@SilumaKhanya wrote: “Londi, you’re a woman of class for not reciprocating that childish behavior. Minnie pushed her forehead? That’s uncalled for.”
@Jabu_Macdonald added: “I usually support villains, but Minnie crossed the line. She never deserved airtime.”
@Tshwanelo___ fumed: “Minnie is such a horrible human being. I’m fuming on behalf of Londie.”
Since the backlash, Minnie Ntuli has reportedly deactivated or deleted her social media accounts.
Season 5 of RHOD introduced Minnie as a new cast member alongside Londie London, who returned to the show after a hiatus. Their strained relationship became one of the season’s major storylines, but the recent revelations from the reunion have taken things to another level—one now headed for the courtroom.
As fans await updates on the legal proceedings, one thing is certain: the RHOD reunion has left a lasting impact, raising important questions about boundaries, respect, and accountability in the world of reality TV.
