“I feel as detailed as you are with other things, other things need to be more detailed.

Motsi continued: “The center is too open, so when it is open it is difficult [daughter’s name]. I’m sorry. I just said my daughter’s name. You know I’m a mom!

‘Nikita and my daughter’s names are quite similar, sorry everyone. So Nikita can’t lead it with an open center and the second thing is to watch the feet.’

It comes after Motsi attacked her ex-husband’s lawyer Timo Culczak after he claimed she could face a prison sentence in response to her comments in her autobiography.
