Businesswoman and reality star Beverly Steyn is on the finale episode of talk show “Untied” and she has opened up about dealing with private experiences in the public eye.

Recently, Steyn became a hot topic thanks to her friendship with “The Real Housewives of Durban” star Nonku Williams. The two bonded during the filming of “The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip – SA”.

Steyn’s friendship with Williams became a topic on “The Real Housewives of Durban”, when she was labelled as the reason behind the crumbling of Joku – Williams’ friendship with Jojo Robinson.

Addressing the public attention around her friendship, Steyn described her friendship with Williams as layered and complex. “Like many friendships; we’ve had moments of closeness and moments of distance, but I try to approach it with honesty, respect, and boundaries.”

Steyn added that it was “disappointing” to hear her relationship with Nonku being discussed publicly on the reunion. “Private dynamics should be spoken about directly, not through public commentary. 

“It didn’t surprise me entirely but it did make me more mindful of what I share and with whom.”

Steyn on “Untied” opens up about her divorce with host Relebogile Mabotja and living through private experiences in the public eye. She shared the “lack of privacy” makes these moments difficult.

“Having your most vulnerable moments dissected by people who weren’t there and don’t know the full story. It forces you to develop a thick skin while still trying to protect your soft heart.”

The reality tv star explained that she decided to share her story because she wanted people to remember there is hope. “I believe that our stories have power, especially the ones we’ve survived. 

“I wanted to share mine to show that even in the most difficult seasons, there’s hope, there’s resilience, and there’s life beyond the pain. If my openness can help just one woman feel less alone, it’s worth it.”
