No bad blood between Pearl Thusi and Bonnie Mbuli: “At this stage, I hardly really think about her”

The queen of clapbacks Pearl Thusi has been twarring with A LOT of people this year.

From colourism, to opening up the industry to tribalism, Pearl’s been throwing in her two cents’ worth to all relevant topics trending in SA at any given time.

“Unless I’m extremely passionate about the topic, for example, the conversation about actors being underpaid, then I can’t be like, no, I’m not getting involved,” Pearl says.

“But I feel like I’m not the type of person who is able to lay down what they think or feel about a certain situation in 140 characters, and to people that have already made up their minds about me or the situation, or people who aren’t ready or willing to listen.”

Remember her spat with Bonnie Mbuli over coloursim in the TV and film industry? Apparently she doesn’t even think about Bonnie anymore.

“At this stage, I hardly really think about her, but Bonnie is someone’s mother, she’s probably someone’s girlfriend, someone’s sister, aunt, and no matter what I harbour or feel towards her, I may have to think about those people and the fact that she matters to someone out there,” Pearl says.

“Bonnie is an incredibly talented woman. She’s beautiful and us disagreeing doesn’t mean I should hate her. Me being hurt by her doesn’t mean I should hate her … I’m bigger than that.”
