South African actor and producer Shona Ferguson has taken to his Instagram account to issue a stern public service notice to those who like a good gossip, warning that it will hurt their relationships and work.
The star took time off his busy schedule to advise fans in a lengthy post about the evils of spreading “lousy news”.
“Gossiping is toxic and harmful. Spreading lousy news and gossiping will only hurt your career,” he wrote.
The queen actor told his followers that they would encounter “a lot of people who are full of frustration, anger and disappointment and as soon as their negativity keeps on mounting, they look for a place to dump it.”
“If you let them, they’ll dump it on you. So stay away from such kind of negative people,” he added.
He also fired a stern warning to gossipers telling them to stop before someone gets hurt.
“I don’t trust people who repeat c**p they ‘heard’ from others, period. Why would someone be comfortable sharing negative BS with you in the first place!?
“If you are in their company and they are talking about me or mine, and you do not shut it down, you are worse than them and I do not want such people in my life,” he wrote.
He then took a slight dig at social media claiming it has “made the culture of spreading rumours and gossip dangerously normal.”
“Retweeting or reposting hateful posts and liking mean-spirited content. People make fun of others’ pain because for some very disturbing reason it gets them attention. Fact: successful, happy, healthy, wealthy, positive and confident people have no time to talk about others.
“They are too busy focusing on their own lives and spreading love.”
