Heartbreaking news: Real Housewives star found dead at home, initial cause determined to be suicide
Real Housewives of Johannesburg star Naledi Willers has reportedly died after losing her battle to cancer. The reality TV star, model and actress was diagnosed with breast cancer in November 2019.
While the world buckled down and braced for the impact of Covid-19, Naledi started chemotherapy. She spoke out on her social media about how the lockdown helped shelter her from the public eye at the time.
Naledi was proactive after “bumping into” her tumour and started treatment immediately after. She was diagnosed with stage 2 triple negative breast cancer.
In an Instagram post, Naledi thanked her medical team and her family for their unwavering support as she fought her battle.
The news broke after popular South African blog The Popcorn Room SA confirmed her passing.
Naledi shared how hard it had been to watch her body change so drastically due to the steroids she was on.
“The steroids leads to weight gain. Nobody ever prepares you for walking around feeling like you’re stuck in someone else’s body. For feeling frustrated when you’ve gained so much weight your pants, jeans and other clothes simply do not fit.”
Her last Instagram post was on 10 July before her intense treatment began.
Apart from being in the entertainment industry, Naledi was also a qualified chef, lawyer and owner of New Star Studios.
