Londie London has addressed the elephant in the room this season ofLife With Londie London– her very public fallout with former friend Que – and has made it clear she isn’t interested in a tit-for-tat.

The reality star, whose Mzansi Magic series airs every Thursday at 8pm, has spent the season juggling motherhood, music and business under the cameras, but it’s the “shifting friendships” storyline that has kept viewers talking well beyond the show’s timeslot. Speaking to the channel in a recent interview, Londie admitted the split with Que caught her off guard. She was careful to note that she holds no ill will towards her former friend.

“I genuinely wish them well and I’ve chosen peace over constantly revisiting what happened.” Que (Qophelo “Que” Ndwandwe) is a close friend and cast member of the first season of Londie’s reality show who alleged that producers (Rapid Blue) and broadcaster Mzansi Magic selectively edited scenes to portray him as the aggressor/villain by omitting context and build-up, prioritising drama over truth. In a series of Instagram Stories posts that have since expired, he expressed disappointment in Londie while threatening legal action over the misrepresentation. At the time of Ndwandwe’s posts,The Citizenreached out to Mzansi Magic for comment regarding his allegations and has not received a response to date.

With several people in Londie’s circle having given their own interviews this season, she says she has no issue with others telling their side of the story – provided it’s coming from an honest place. “I genuinely support my friends shining in whatever space they’re in. If someone has an opportunity to tell their story, I think they should take it.

I don’t believe in dimming someone else’s light because of me. The only thing I value is honesty and respect. As long as people are speaking from their own experiences and not creating narratives for headlines, then I’m always happy to see people win,” she said.

Looking back, Londie says there are a few things she might have handled differently – namely, keeping certain conversations out of the public eye. “I think life teaches you something in every season. Looking back, maybe there are conversations I wish had happened privately before things became public.

But I also don’t believe in living with regret because every experience has helped shape the woman I am today. I’ve become more intentional about protecting my peace, my energy and the people closest to me.”
