Cape Town — South African actress Pearl Thusi has once again had to deal with critics who commented on her recent twerking videos that were trending on social media.
Whenever Pearl is trending on social media, it often leads to many comments about her and this latest incident was no different. Pearl took to her Instagram account and posted a series of twerking videos, which she asked fans to choose the best one she could use for a viral challenge.
“I need help choosing the one that should become my reel for the challenge. Comment with the frame number! Please and thank you,” she wrote.

One of the videos started trending on X and, as usual, people started adding their two cents about the videos. The comments were mixed, with some saying she was being attention seeking while others said she was just expressing herself and having fun.
According to The Citizen, Pearl was unbothered by people’s opinions and, ahead of her vacation to Spain, she responded to the backlash that her twerking videos caused.
“I am busy travelling the world because I deserve that. I am not even gonna go on Twitter because I know I am trending. I wonder when people are going to realise that like for as long as you guys try and police me or my body and me being a mother, for as long as that is happening, I will do what I am doing,” she said in an Instagram story.
She added that she would not allow people to police her social media activity and will do whatever will make her happy.
“I love my body… I am going to enjoy it and I am going to show it off because wow, I have worked so hard. God did the damn things. I am gorgeous, I really am and I know it. I want to turn 50 and look back at these videos and say [I was hot]. Until then, I hope everybody can find peace, enjoy their day, and be happy so that you can stop worrying about me and my bum,” she added.
