"Handling delicate matters with grace and privacy is absolutely essential, especially when you're dealing with the aftermath of a breakup. Emotions can easily cloud your judgment, but airing private details in public can cause lasting damage—not just for your ex but for yourself too. It’s crucial to pause, reflect, and think about the long-term consequences before you say anything. Talking to close friends or a therapist can help you process your feelings in a safer, more private setting."

Now, let’s talk about the public response. Social media users weren’t shy about voicing their opinions. Many accused Mihlali of chasing clout by exposing her ex-boyfriend, Leeroy Sidambe.

@JVCK89 commented:
"Bitter ex vibes lol."
@DigitalPen101 chimed in:
"Mihlali is either lying, or even if she’s telling the truth, it’s a two-way street. Sure, she might be using substances, and he might be what she says he is, but her comments come across as homophobic. That’s not okay."
@CFC_AFRIKA_ added:
"😂 😂 She’s only noticing this After 9 stuff now because Yol doesn’t believe her antics? 🤔"
@Davidhlo threw in his two cents:
"But what does that make her for knowingly dating and sleeping with an after-nine? The joke is on her, isn’t it?"
