Twitter fans are defending Mel Viljoen after Talana Vuren-Kuhn called her out during the RHOPTA reunion, which aired on KykNet on January 5th.
On the reunion episode of Real Housewives of Pretoria, Mel clarified her comment that Renske Lammerding and her husband’s bodies were a “mismatch” However, Talana, who was pregnant during the season, interjected with a pointed question for Mel.
“I realize I was fairly quiet during the series… “are you into women?” she inquired.
Mel stated, “This is the Real Housewives.”
“You support women, correct?” Then why are they broken down repeatedly? I am observing from the outside. And that’s what I always notice about you,” Talana replied.
Mel responded to Talana by stating, “You weren’t actually involved with the women. You lost the race early on”.
Five times Mel Viljoen set tongues wagging on ‘RHOPTA’Surprisingly, Twitter users sided with Mel. Take a look…
“Mel had an excellent answer to Talana…
“You stumbled quite early on in the season… You registered for the wrong show”… She was absent for the entire season, and now she has the courage to approach Mel? Girl, bye! #RHOPTA,” wrote @officiallebza on Twitter.
Mel had a wonderful response to Talana…
“You stumbled quite early on in the season… You registered for the incorrect show “… She was absent for the entire season, and now she has the courage to approach Mel? Girl, bye! #RHOPTA

Talana approaching Mel? Rhona and Mel made disparaging remarks about their respective husbands, and that was that… Talana ? focus on developing a plot. Someone must be the antagonist, or otherwise the ratings would collapse. #RHOPTA

Others, however, defended Talana.
Mel’s participation is Talana’s primary gift to this reunion. “at least I ddnt sign up to be a b!tch” #rhopta

In any case, this reunion was dull. Mel was on a tour of deflection and apologies, while Talana was the only one to bring heat and the proper questions (but why is she here?). Everyone is attempting too hard to not be annoyed. Cannot wait until they address Mel and Rhona’s problems! #RHOPTA
