RHOJ: All the things you need to know about Mrs Mops
Mpumi Mophatlane aka Mrs Mops has become a household name ever since she first appeared in Season 2 of The Real Housewives of Johannesburg.
Her gorgeous looks and flamboyant personality have caught the attention of many avid viewers of the reality show. With her lavish lifestyle and “money ain’t a problem” attitude, Mrs Mops will probably go down as the best-liked housewife in the reality show.
However, during the second season of the show, Mrs Mops has received a bit of animosity because of her snarky comments towards the other ladies of the reality franchise.
Her comments about Brinette, especially, have landed her in hot water several times. But it was during the reunion episodes that Mrs Mops got a taste of her own medicine.
One of the most shocking accusations made against her was when Brinette alleged that Mrs Mops was cheating on her husband.
Heads rolled when Brinette made that damning accusation, but in true Mrs Mops style, she downplayed the allegations of being a cheater.
Regardless of what transpired during that reunion episode, people still have a great interest in knowing more about Mrs Mops’s fabulous life.
