The Queen to write off actor after allegations of sexual harassment
The Queen is set to write off an actor out of the show after he allegedly made inappropriate advances on his colleagues.
Entertainment commentator Phil Mphela took to Twitter on Wednesday, 23 December to share that the popular soapie is about to drop the male character. Phil welcomed the step taken by Ferguson Films against the unnamed actor. He wrote:
“WORD IS: The Queen to drop actor. The murmur is that Mzansi Magic telenovela will be writing (or has written) an actor out of the show following some inappropriate advances on his colleagues. This is a welcomed & encouraging step taken by Ferguson Films. Change the culture!”
The viewers of the show produced by power couple, Shona and Connie Ferguson, have shared mixed reactions to Phil’s post. Check out some of their comments below:

“I haven’t watched that show since they killed of Jerry Maake but kudos to them for standing up and doing something.” @KgatukeTseke wrote:
“Mhm I wonder who is it…” @theshortmess_ commented:
“Okay but the Fergusons are comfortable with employing such doti. The man who abused the lady who plays Celia stays on their payroll and the guy who plays Thato’s dad.” @2Nswempu wrote:
“I prefer blogs to rather wait for the story to be fully developed before publicising it, cos now we have to guess the unnamed actor.” @Tjandidah added:
“Who could it possibly be?”
