Pabi Moloi’s ex-husband accuses her of paying bribes to take him down
Media personality Pabi Moloi finds herself embroiled in a legal battle as her baby daddy, Ruan Adams, accuses his lawyer of accepting a bribe to delay their divorce proceedings in the Johannesburg high court.
The allegations have added a new layer of complexity to an already contentious situation between the former couple.
Adams, who is seeking half of Moloi’s estate and monthly spousal maintenance, reportedly raised concerns with his lawyer, Lutendo Siphuma of SL Attorneys, about a possible bribe from either Moloi or her legal team to stall the divorce case.
In a letter addressed to Moloi’s law firm, Ulrich Roux and Associates, Siphuma detailed the allegations and cited threats he had received from Adams as a reason for withdrawing as his attorney of record.
The letter stated, “We have also been accused of having taken a bribe from your offices and/or from your client directly to stall the divorce process… Despite having fully communicated with Mr Adams that we need fees for counsel to proceed with trial as the matter is trial-ready.”
Siphuma expressed concerns about the threats and accusations he faced from Adams, which ultimately led to his decision to terminate his mandate in the case.
Additionally, Siphuma highlighted the unauthorized emails that Adams had sent to Moloi’s legal team as another factor in his withdrawal from the case.
The ongoing conflict and disruptive behavior from Adams have strained the attorney-client relationship and raised questions about the integrity of the legal proceedings.
