Sophie Lichaba takes aim at Twitter trolls who drag her appearance
Actress Sophie Lichaba has been the talk of the town since Monday after her stellar performance on TV drama series Lockdown, but she had to take a moment out of her shine to clap back at some trolls who came for her on Twitter.
Right on the back of all the praise the actress has received since the show's season 5 premiere, Sophie had to fend off some trolls who seemed set on talking about her appearance in a vile manner.
One tweep tagged Sophie and said that she wasn't being truthful about the disease that changed her appearance. This tweep said diabetic patients “don't look” like Sophie.
“God help her and her stupidity. She doesn't know life,” Sophie said in response.
Sophie's army of fans were also not tolerating any hate aimed at their fave, and came to her defence.
The actress thanked one of them directly.
“Thank you Noxolo. They who comment irresponsibly with lack of exposure or knowledge and talk on my behalf are stupid. You talk of cancer ... Have you seen ALL cancer patients? Were you one? Really? Have you seen my journey? Do you know it? Did you see my mother before she died?” the actress said.
