TWEEPS REVISIT RACHEL KOLISI’S ‘INSECURE’ ANTICS
While Rachel may be a star WAG, she has made headlines for being “insecure” and “jealous” over hubby Siya Kolisi’s female fans.
Just months before the player’s pic with Zuki, Rachel clapped back at another woman on social media that claimed Siya was her “type.”
Taking to her Twitter account – which she has since deleted – Rachel clapped back: “[Siya’s] not ‘a type’. He’s a married man responsible for four children.”
In a separate tweet, she added: “Just a side note. I’ve been there for all the good times. But I’ve also been there for ALL the bad times. Honestly, this should go without saying. Respect my relationship and woman to woman. Respect me.”
