Businessman Leeroy Sidambe has come under fire after screenshots surfaced online, allegedly showing him sending flirtatious Instagram messages to 20-year-old Lerato Molwelang.

The messages, which began circulating on Sunday, 29 March 2026, were shared by social media user AdvoBarryRoux, sparking widespread debate. This comes at a time when Lerato had already been trending online following a controversial bedroom video that drew public attention.

Lerato previously claimed she was exploited by an alleged casting agency, saying she was misled into appearing in adult content without signing a contract. While many online users expressed sympathy for her situation, the emergence of Sidambe’s alleged messages added another layer to the unfolding drama.
According to the leaked screenshots, Sidambe first contacted Lerato in January 2026, expressing admiration and admitting he had been following her profile for months. In one message, he allegedly wrote that he had been “crushing” on her from a distance. Lerato’s responses appeared brief and reserved, with one reply simply reading “serious.”
Despite the lukewarm response, Sidambe reportedly continued the conversation, later asking for her phone number and suggesting they move the discussion off Instagram. It remains unclear who leaked the messages or how their interaction progressed beyond the screenshots.
The situation has triggered mixed reactions on social media. Some users criticised Sidambe, questioning the age gap and his judgment, especially given that Lerato is reportedly close in age to his daughter. Others, however, questioned why the messages were made public and scrutinised Lerato’s responses.
The controversy has once again highlighted the risks public figures face when engaging in private conversations online, as well as the speed at which such interactions can become public.
