Did Rami Chuene get married?

Rami Chuene admitted that the picture of her in a white wedding gown was not of an actual wedding but of a shoot for SABC 2.

Controversy

Rami Chuene’s posts about “The Hawks” raised eyebrows after she called on them to do a clean sweep on the South African entertainment industry as many artists are left broke due to the levels of corruption in it.

Some tweeps quickly concluded that Ferguson Films co-owned by Connie Ferguson and the late Shona Ferguson was the target of her tweet as their relationship ended on a bitter note. Rami Chuene fired back and said that the industry is too big for people to only aim it at one person. She further told them that she has nothing to expose to them as some of the ills in the industry are well known.

Still, on Twitter, Rami Chuene angered a section of Tweeps after she used religious texts to show that men are not worthy. When probed about the comments, she refused to provide an explanation and simply said it was part of an ongoing conversation and has no control over how people interpreted the information.

Rami Chuene doesn’t shy away from voicing her mind. This time, it was about domestic workers. She posted a thread on Twitter, complete with screenshots of the income and expenditure of the domestic worker, which detailed how an unidentified woman financially abused her house help. Her pay was deducted for minor things like eating Oreos and bread in her house. Rami first got wind of the story from her sister’s house help and decided to expose everything on her Twitter page.
