Netflix and Urban Brew Studios have denied Khanya Nqolase's payment issues.
This after The Ultimatum: South Africa star appeared on the L-Tido Podcast and spoke about how many labelled her as a “abusive” and “mean” woman for the way she handled her relationship with Nkateko Mahange on the show.
"I wish I got money for that. I don't know if royalties apply to reality TV. I think talent is being exploited in this country," she said.
"There was no actual formal payment. We had to buy our own food from the payment."
In a statement shared with TshisaLIVE responding to the claims, Netflix said all artists were paid in full.
"All participants of The Ultimatum: SA reality show entered into an agreement with Urban Brew Studios, which also covers remuneration, before they voluntarily joined the reality show. I can confirm that any payments due to the participants have been made in full," said Adelaide Joshua-Hill of Urban Brew.
The finale of the show saw Khanya hurling insults at her partner Nkateko.
Khanya said she does not regret how she was portrayed.
"None of the people know me, maybe never will. I don't regret anything, apart from body-shaming."
