Strictly Come Dancing judge Motsi Mabuse has been slammed by her ex-husband for accusing him of being “controlling”.
Her ex-partner Timo Kulczak says Motsi’s claims are not true after she alleged in her new book that he stopped her from having a baby, restricted her money, and decided what she ate.

He has said that they are “simply not true” and were “just to push book sales”.
Timo said that despite their split they have been in friendly contact and was shocked that she didn’t warn him about her book In Finding My Own Rhythm: My Story.

Timo, 45, 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.”

His lawyer Samy Hammad also told the publication: “When false claims are made, this is simply not OK and, at this point, Mrs Mabuse has the duty, the moral and the ethical duty, to correct it and set the record straight.”
In her book, Motsi, 41, claimed that during their 11-marriage Timo paid her an “allowance” from her own earnings.
The couple tied the knot in 2003 and she even moved from South Africa to Germany aged 18 to be with him.
They parted ways and divorced in 2014, on what he believed to be amicable terms.

Timo continued: “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 thought we had a very happy marriage, in general, and there was no idea of any controlling behaviour.”
He also explained how he lives out of the public eye now and has even turned down multiple interviews after publications reached out after Motsi’s Strictly booking.
