It seems Ntsiki Mazwai may actually have some nice things to say about US-based actress Pearl Thusi.

Ntsiki has previously made headlines for shading Pearl but, like many of us, was blown away by her honesty during an interview with Anele Mdoda this week.

Taking to Twitter after the Real Talk interview, Ntsiki said that New York has done Pearl the world of good.

Ntsiki even defended Pearl, saying that she now realises that an "evil girl" did sabotage her.

We wonder who Ntsiki was referring to?

Ntsiki caused a Twitter frenzy back in September when she crashed the #PearlThusiDay party to say that the day should instead be dedicated to Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, who had turned 80-years-old.

"I'm not saying you can't celebrate Pearl's new job but I think it is sad that you want to have a Pearl Thusi day before you have a Winnie Mandela day. Are you seriously going to compare being on TV to a real lived struggle that changed all our lives? You’re diminishing Winnie Mandela's role by comparing her to American TV... when TV starts being more important than our own heroes," she tweeted.

She later took to Twitter to shade actors that had moved to America to take on "low-rated" TV shows.

"I don't think that being in a low rated USA production is greater than being in a South African production ....at all," she tweeted as part of an explosive rant on the topic.
