Marike Botha Stirs Social Media with Thirst-Trap Post After Siya Kolisi’s Split from Wife Rachel

Cape Town fitness model Marike Botha, who previously claimed that Springboks captain Siya Kolisi once “slid into her DMs,” has broken her silence following news of his split from his wife, Rachel. In a bold move, Marike, a mother of two, shared a stunning post-partum bikini photo, just two months after giving birth to her second child.

The social media post comes amid heightened public interest in Siya Kolisi’s personal life after he recently announced his separation from Rachel, his wife of eight years. The rugby star had opened up in his autobiography, Rise, about his struggles with heavy drinking, partying, and alleged infidelity, which may have contributed to their marital troubles.

The fitness model’s confident post quickly caught the attention of her followers, reigniting conversations about her past interactions with Kolisi.

The DM Drama: Marike Sets the Record Straight

In a series of Instagram Stories, Marike addressed the controversy surrounding her and Siya Kolisi. According to her, the entire situation was blown out of proportion when Rachel Kolisi allegedly misinterpreted a direct message exchange between her and Siya.

“Siya Kolisi slid into my DM’s. Sends me the post that I posted on IG. His wife sees this and makes it look like I’m sending him my a**. The post is on my IG!” she clarified.

Marike claimed that the interaction was purely professional, with Siya reaching out to discuss a collaboration involving one of his favorite swimwear and underwear brands, Franklees. However, the misunderstanding reportedly led to Rachel believing there was something more to their exchange.

Following the social media fallout, Marike Botha revealed that she had been subjected to harsh criticism and even threats. Feeling wronged, she called for a public apology from Rachel, accusing her of “slut-shaming” her unjustly.

“This has gone too far. I was simply approached for a business collaboration, and it turned into a nightmare,” Marike shared with her followers. She also disclosed that due to the alarming threats, she had to hire a bodyguard for her safety.

Rachel Kolisi Stays Silent Amid the Storm

Meanwhile, Rachel Kolisi has maintained a low profile throughout the drama. After the DM incident went viral, she deleted her Twitter account and temporarily disabled her Instagram, choosing not to respond publicly to the allegations or Marike’s demands for an apology.

Fans remain divided on social media, with some siding with Marike and others expressing sympathy for Rachel during this challenging time. As the story continues to unfold, the public is left wondering if more revelations about the Kolisis’ relationship will come to light.
