Sasha-Lee’s Life ‘Not In Danger’
13 May 2009 in Media BuzzI read this yesterday and it’s disturbing that some people have no life that they would actually harass this poor girl. What’s also impressive is that they got her phone number. Psycho flippen lunatics if you ask me!
Reports in an Afrikaans tabloid of telephonic threats made to Idols winner Sasha-Lee Davids and her family have been dismissed as “scandalous”.
The paper suggested Davids and her family were living in fear of their lives after disturbing phone calls made to her home in Atlantis, near Cape Town, since Friday’s announcement by M-Net, the producers of the reality show, that she was not the outright winner.
The announcement followed the controversy over late cellphone votes botched in the outcome of the talent show.
Davids was crowned the winner, but auditors on Friday found that runner-up Jason Hartman, of KwaZulu-Natal, had received 200 000 more votes.
Hartman received 1,3 million votes, compared with Davids’s 1,1 million. M-Net then decided to crown both Davids and Hartman as winners of this year’s show.
Mynie Grové, music producer and spokesperson for the Davids family, on Monday said the family had received no threats on their lives other than “a few ugly phone calls” from Hartman fans.
“It (the tabloid article) is scandalous. No one’s in any danger and the calls were not life-threatening,” Grové said.
She said the family were entitled to their privacy and the phone calls bordered on harassment.
