Just days after courting controversy over his comments about Rachel and Siya Kolisi, Gareth Cliff has done it again with his strong opinions about their divorce.
The podcaster – who claimed he did not know the Springbok WAG was white – even joked about how the couple would split the rugby star’s World Cup winnings.
GARETH CLIFF SHARES VIEWS ON KOLISI DIVORCE – AND WHO WILL GET THE RWC TROPHY!
Speaking on The Gareth Cliff Show this week, the former 5FM shock jock revisited his comments about Rachel and Siya’s interracial relationship.
He said: “I got into some serious trouble over a non-thing.”
Gareth then cautioned the public about their social media commentary about the high-profile couple.
He continued: “Rachel and Siya Kolisi breaking up is not anything to do with you. You are not Rachel or Siya therefore, stay out of their marriage.
“Stop pretending that you are going to have a breakdown because Rachel and Siya are not together anymore.
He added: “Rachel Kolisi has spoken up; she didnt have to do this. I was saying this is nobody’s business somehow; I was the bad guy. People of South Africa, you don’t deserve her explanation.
“You only wanted to know about that because you want to feel better than Rachel Kolisi.
Gareth Cliff then joked about what divorce negotiations will look like between Rachel and Siya Kolisi.
He teased: “Even if she gets half the trophies, she still has more than most countries.”
‘I THOUGHT RACHEL WAS BLACK’
Shortly after Rachel and Siya Kolisi announced their divorce, Gareth Cliff landed himself in hot water in comments about their split, particularly as an interracial couple.
He said in his popular podcast: “It took me a long time to even realise that because I don’t pay attention to sports, I don’t watch a lot of sport, and I don’t read like, ‘YOU’ magazine, so I didnt even know, I thought Rachel was black for a long time until I saw a picture of her.”
