Since joining the series, Kgomotso says that dealing with social media was the hardest part for her. She admits that she went through a phase where she could stop reading comments from the trolls.
“I wasn't aware of black Twitter, I knew Twitter as a business platform ... so when I saw these things, I was in absolute shock and my family and friends tried to stop me from reading the stuff,” she told TshisaLIVE.
Kgomotso says she joined the show with the objective of promoting her business and did not anticipate that it would have a negative affect on it.
“The very same reason that I went on to the show to promote my business it actually did the opposite ... when people couldn't get to me — because I locked all my social media accounts when the hate was so huge ... they went to my business pages and ... I then had to go and put restriction measures.”
She continued, “I couldn't showcase any of my work, I need to do it in total silence. so I was trying to do as little as possible with the high anxiety that the show leaves you with. When you receive a lot of hate, there's no way it will not affect you. With the help of my family, Odwa, my dad, my friends, I was able to overcome, and now that it's playing on Mzansi magic I'm focused on being positive, doing me and I stopped reading that junk. I got to a point where now I am doing what pleases me.
Kgomotso says she's grateful to have gained a good friend and business partner in her RHODurban co-star Anne-Toni Mthembu.
Kgomotso reveals that she is enjoying living her truth and growing her flower and events business. “I'm channelling myself now, you've got to always channel yourself, don't look for other people to channel you because they will channel you according to their objective. It's just doing what I am all about,” she told TshisaLIVE.
