When TV personality and socialite Somizi Mhlongo and Mohale Motaung married in a spectacular multimillion-rand ceremony in January last year, South Africans who watched the build-up to the union had no idea the relationship would be marred by violence and envy.
The shocking information may be found in a taped conversation with the producers of Somizi's show, Living the Dream.
It's unclear whether the interview will still air. Motaung has now stated that he was "afraid" of Mhlongo when they exchanged vows at the much-publicized wedding.
Mhlongo was questioned about the accusations, but he has not answered as of the time of publication.
In a jealously-fueled violent domestic argument in their Joburg home last year, Motaung claims the Idols SA judge broke his ribs and nearly knocked out his two teeth.
Apart from the violent occurrences that shook their marriage, Motaung, who departed their marital pad following the incidents, claimed that while he "loves" Mhlongo, "he was no longer in love with him" and wanted a divorce.
Mhlongo is also accused of grabbing a kitchen knife and threatening to butcher both of them barely three weeks into their relationship, according to Motaung.
He further said that Mhlongo, who supposedly enjoys group sex, requested they have a passionate threesome with a stranger when they were in Amsterdam, and that Mhlongo frequently asked if he could bring sex partners home for steamy sessions in their married home.
Mhlongo and Motaung married in a traditional ceremony in September of this year, followed by their fantasy white wedding in January of the previous year.
People began to detect problems in paradise months later.
Motaung reportedly moved out of his marital house in Dainfern, northern Joburg, in November, according to the Sunday World.
