Amanda du-Pont accuses Jub Jub of rape: 'I am no longer afraid'

Scores of South Africans have come out in support of actress Amanda du-Pont after she accused Molemo ‘Jub Jub’ Maarohanye of raping her throughout their two-year relationship.

The actress took to Instagram on Thursday to set the record straight about claims Jub Jub made during an interview on 'Podcast and Chill with MacG'. 

Jub Jub told MacG that Amanda was one of the women he "smashed" in the past. He admitted that he cheated on her with singer Kelly Khumalo.

Jub Jub claimed that Kelly used muthi on him. “When you look at me, you put Amanda du-Pont and you put Kelly. There is no way ever that I would have gone for Kelly over Amanda with a sober mind," he told MacG.

A tearful Amanda has slammed Jub Jub's comments on the show. “There are three things that I want to address. The first was that he smashed me. First of all, Molemo you raped me. I was raped for two years. So,  please don’t make it sound like it was a relationship. I was absolutely afraid to leave,” Amanda says.

The '10 Days in Sun City' actress says she was still a virgin. 

“The most painful part about all of this is that I was a virgin. And I told Jub Jub that I was a virgin and I planned to be a virgin until the day I got married."

Amanda denied Jub Jub's claim that she left him after she saw pictures of him and Kelly in a newspaper. 

"I left because he tried to kill me. He suffocated me, he literally suffocated me… I was always afraid to leave because of the threats that were made but at that moment when he tried to kill me, I knew the very thing that I was afraid of, which was dying, I knew was meant to happen that day,” she said while holding back tears.

Amanda says she will be taking legal action against Jub Jub. 

Many celebrities have come out in support of Amanda. 

"You’re so strong. We stand with you," DJ Zinhle commented. Maps Maponyane added: "I'm so so sorry Amanda. You should never have to be reliving this in this way."

Cassper Nyovest also voiced his support.

"I'm so sorry A. You are so strong. Strength to you," he wrote. 

Amanda's husband Shawn Rodrigues called Jub Jub a pig on his Instagram Story. "I can't wait until you f***ing burn in hell," he wrote. 

Jub Jub is yet to publicly responded to Amanda's video.

Amanda's sister Kim also took to Instagram to show her support.

"My sister to hear you speak out and let the world know what happened to you makes me so sad. A chapter in your life I thought you would never have to revisit... The system might have failed you the first time but not again. I STAND WITH YOU!" she wrote.
