@wtflmfaoooooo: “That’s why we appreciate Tyla or Trevor Noah. How can you completely lose your accent? Plus, you are Afrikaans!”
@sibohanalfonso: “The accent is so cringy.”
@Leilitaprimo: “Just speak normally. You don’t have to do this.”
@mickey.das: “I did not expect that from her. Disappointed
@kayinthecity: How embarrassing that she has only been there a short while and changed.”
ADJUSTING TO THE US
Speaking to Life & Style this week, Demi-Leigh Tebow revealed she has to adjust to US holidays like the 4th of July and a wintery Christmas.
She said: “Holiday cards aren’t a big thing in South Africa. When we got married. I didn’t send a Christmas card because we didn’t do that in South Africa.
“And I felt so bad because, you know, all of our neighbors and friends had sent us Christmas cards, and I felt like I was so rude.”
She added: “I just didn’t know it was a thing”.
