Saturday 12 November 2022 11:56 PM Motsi Mabuse's ex-husband says he's taking legal action after her 'controlling' ... trends now

Motsi Mabuse's ex-husband Timo Kulczak has revealed he is taking legal action against her after she wrote in her autobiography that he had been 'controlling' during their marriage.

The Strictly Come Dancing judge, 41, alleged that he prevented her from falling pregnant, limited her access to money and dictated what she ate in her memoir, Finding My Own Rhythm, which was released in September 2022. 

But now, the German dancer, 45, has hit back, accusing her of fabricating the story in order to 'push book sales', while claiming they have even been in friendly contact since their divorce in 2014.

He told The Sun: 'She did something bad to me and my family and I can't accept that. Now I have reached a point whereby I cannot just let things stand as they are when something is put out there in public and it is simply not true.

'I am deeply disappointed and hurt. Looking back, I remember a very good and positive and happy time that simply cannot be compared to some of the claims about me that have now come to light.

'I was a loving and caring husband who was always by her side at any time, when she needed help. I don't feel I was controlling, I see all of what I did as organising and being helpful to her.'

Timo's lawyer went on to claim they can take legal action both in Germany and England but strive to reach an 'amicable agreement'.
