“I had a disagreement with Gwydion, one of the executive producers. He reprimanded me and told me that I was being ‘cruel’ and I needed to stop. One of the younger actresses had complained that she can’t act with me because I am being cruel to her. I proceeded to ask what I had done and he couldn’t say, so I left the meeting and went home, she said.
According to the article it was reported that Moshidi also didn’t deem the writers’ skills as on par.
Various sources revealed that Moshidi would straight out call writers for their bad writing skills and would bluntly shout at Larona saying she can not act.
