Nonku Williams sets the record straight on Jojo Robinson friendship drama

It has been a rocky season for Nonku Williams and Jojo Robinson’s friendship. Their breakup story has left many The Real Housewives of Durban (RHOD) fans with mixed emotions ever since it transpired.

Recently, Robinson broke her silence on her friendship with Williams, penning an emotional letter that left many fans wondering about the state of their relationship.

The wound Robinson was dealing with was deeper than viewers had anticipated, as she was seen on Instagram live crying her eyes out about the matter. The letter was a response to previous comments made by Williams about their friendship.

However, Williams has now broken her silence, setting the record straight and clarifying her previous statements while also apologising to Robinson.

In an Instagram post, the author and businesswoman details what she meant by her statements and apologises to Robinson for how she treated her during their on-and-off-screen five-year friendship.

“As I reflect on my recent statement about my friendship with Jojo on the show, I want to take a moment and address the hurt and misunderstanding it may have caused,” she wrote.

“I never intended to denounce our friendship or diminish the value Jojo has brought to my life,” Williams explained, adding that she was trying to articulate how her spiritual growth had led her to approach certain aspects of her life differently.

Williams acknowledged that their friendship has been subject to the challenges of reality TV, where moments are often taken out of context for the sake of drama. 

She expressed her gratitude for the years they’ve shared and assured Robinson that her love and appreciation for her as a friend have never shaken.

She also apologised for her words about their friendship, admitting she could have delivered her message more gently.

“I want to apologise for using the words ‘surface level’ when referring to my friendship with Jojo. In no way was I speaking about the love or bond we share; that was never my intention. The truth is, I tend to be very blunt in how I express myself, and I’m actively working on being more mindful and gentle in my delivery.” 

Williams also shared that Robinson brings out the childlike side of her, emphasising the joy and laughter they have shared. However, she no longer wants every moment captured or posted online, seeking a more sacred and intimate connection with her spirituality.

According to Williams, she has reached out to Robinson and they are planning to meet soon.

The reality star highlighted that every friendship has its seasons, lessons and growing pains, and she hopes to move forward with Robinson in a place of mutual understanding and respect. 

“I’m committed to nurturing it, and I hope we can reach a place of mutual understanding and respect,” she said.
