‘Come for me but leave my kids alone’ — Lamiez' mother sets the record straight

Lamiez Holworthy's mother Imelda Klow has slammed social media trolls for questioning the origin of her children. 

Taking to her Instagram timeline, Imelda, who is also the DJ's manager, set the record straight after people pointed out how different her three children looked from each other.

“I need to set the record straight. I had given birth to all three my children and have never said otherwise. They are my biological kids and blessed and highly favoured at that. If you want to ask or comment again with questions and negativity, I will be forced to bring out the other side of me and demonstrate where they came from.

“With all the bitterness in this world there are still bullies and story seekers out there. Come for me but leave my kids alone. Please.”

When speaking to Truelove magazine about comments about her family, Lamiez said she was constantly asked whether she was adopted.

“I love my hood, Pretoria, but I grew up in a predominantly Indian community, Laudium, which I found to be racist. I could only speak English and Afrikaans and got tired of people asking if I was adopted so I taught myself vernac.

“I didn’t fit in because I wasn’t coloured or Indian enough by societal standards and definitely not black enough because of the language barrier.”
