Leeroy Sidambe denies assaulting Mihlali – “She attempted to stab me with knife”

Leeroy Sidambe has responded to the physical assault accusation made by his estranged lover Mihlali Ndamase.

The influencer left social media buzzing on Sunday after sharing photos revealing bruises on her face.

She tagged Leeroy on the deleted post; hence people were quick to figure out the incident.

Leeroy released a statement this Monday afternoon to set the record straight about the accusation.

“It is disheartening to see how quickly misinformation and manipulation can spread and how easily someone’s character can be called into question without a thorough understanding of the facts,” he wrote.

The businessman narrated the event that left bruises on his lover’s face.

Sidambe said Mihlali called him multiple times which he didn’t pick, then she went to his house, picked up a knife to fight him.

“On 04 August 2024 Mihlali Ndamase attempted to contacted me by placing a total of 78 calls of which I were not attended to as I had fallen asleep. Mihlali then arrived at my residence and persistently requested that my son open for her so she could see me. Upon arriving as my son recollects, she headed to the kitchen to equip herself with a knife in the attempt of stabbing me as she allegedly was shown evidence of me being unfaithful.”

Leeroy Sidambe was saved by his son as he cried out for help.

“Ndamase then came to my bedroom as I was asleep to confront me for being unfaithful and attempted to stab me of which I then protected myself by pushing her away from me resulting in her sustaining her injuries as she made contact with the wall. My son then came to my rescue after hearing me shouting and pleading for Mihlali not to kill me.”

Leeroy further revealed that Mihlali has always abused him physically, especially whenever she is under the infleuence of substance he refused to disclose.

“With this being said I would like inform you all that Mihlali has a long history of physically assaulting me and damaging my property especially when she is under the influence of substances I cannot name.”

“It is unfortunate that Mihlali Ndamase would use her platform to spread these harmful allegations to ploy against my public image in the attempt of being revengeful. I ensure you all that I will continue to cooperate fully with any inquiries especially from authorities to clear my name and restore my reputation from this,” he added.
