Actress and podcaster Mapaseka Koetle isn’t letting online trolls get to her. The popular Scandal! star recently found herself trending after a social media user accused her of using her ex-husband’s money to fund her luxurious trip to Zanzibar, Tanzania.

Mapaseka has been sharing stunning photos from her vacation, looking radiant and carefree on the island. However, one user, @ddt_pm, tried to throw shade by posting on X (formerly Twitter), “Didi aka DIY enjoying divorce money .”

Never one to back down, Mapaseka quickly clapped back with a sharp response that had fans cheering. She replied, “Three years later and I’m still eating it? Must’ve been a five-star divorce.”

Her witty comeback quickly went viral, with fans praising her for handling the criticism with class and humour. Following her reply, the same account backtracked, saying, “You know it’s for engagement, right? We all know you’re an independent woman with a successful career.”

Many users rushed to defend Mapaseka, reminding others that she is a hardworking woman who has built her own name in the entertainment industry.

User @lsg_mokupi commented, “Despite all the negative & distasteful comments about this post, the girl is not only a good person, intelligent & hardworking but beautiful as well. @Pasi_Koetle Tlogela Bo Oubhuti boshula le bo Ma Monanki.”

Another fan, @awakendevine, added, “She’s working, she’s got her business. You miserable people can’t see a lady enjoying her money in peace.”

Still, most people agreed that Mapaseka’s confidence and sense of humour made her the real winner of the online exchange. Despite the noise, Mapaseka Koetle continues to show that she’s focused on living her best life — on her own terms.
