Teko Modise Addresses Abuse Allegations Made By Ex Fiancee Lizelle Tabane Following Their Split.

“I remember when we started dating there were pictures on her phone. I think somebody abused her or something like that. She had scars and all of that stuff, right. So when we broke up… she took the same pictures… the same pictures went to the media and said I was beating her up,” said Teko.
Modise shared how scared he was at the time of the allegations because of his career and endorsements that were are risk. Teko claims that Lizelle is a beautiful woman and he didn’t expect that from her because he trusted her.
Teko revealed that Lizelle wanted to speak to him following the allegations she made and he recorded her but thought twice about exposing her. According to Teko, Lizelle was influenced by a lot of her friends to do what she did after he ended things with her. Teko says that him being the one to end things didn’t sit well with Tabane and she decided to get back at him.
