In a powerful new episode of Untied on Showmax, model and businesswoman Sonia Booth steps into the spotlight to share her deeply personal journey following a high-profile split. Known for her grace and resilience, Sonia breaks the silence to reveal the raw realities behind the polished images, offering a candid look at healing and growth.
In an exclusive interview with Untied host Relebogile Mabotja, Sonia opens up about why she chose to share her story and the message she hopes women will take from it. “I want for them not to believe the facade of a happy and wholesome life just by observing from the outside. For them not to envy,” she says. “You want the greener grass? Better have the stomach for the amount of manure it comes with.”
Sonia also reflects on how sharing her story has been a crucial part of her healing process. “Sharing my story is part of my journaling process, and journaling heals,” she explains. She stresses the importance of honest conversations among women, especially in an age dominated by social media’s filtered realities. “We need to talk about real lives and daily struggles behind our smartphones. The lives without the filters. The days when you don’t have the strength to adult, where you just want to be left alone.”
When asked how women can better support each other during tough times, Sonia’s advice is simple yet profound: “Be there for each other, listen with great veneration and not judge. Don’t ever tell me how to handle a situation because, when faced with it, you will deal with it in a way that you could never comprehend.”
Untied is fast becoming a must-watch series, featuring brave and vulnerable stories from women like Nonku Williams, Palesa Madisakwane, and now Sonia Booth. Upcoming episodes promise more heartfelt conversations with reality star Beverly Steyn, celebrated actresses Dawn Thandeka King and Mona Monyane, and media personality Zandi Nhlapo, all reflecting on life after walking away from love they once believed would last forever.
Sonia’s parting words to viewers? “People need to watch because they might pick up red flags that I probably missed in my life, then hopefully save themselves from misery and heartache.”
