A tabloid has published wild allegations about SA's ex-favourite couple.

A tabloid magazine recently published some very strange rumours about the former Springbok and his soon to be ex-wife.

People magazine said that Joost had turned to men for comfort and Amor was having her own little rendezvous with a woman as they both dealt with their bitter divorce. Scandalous né?

Both Joost and Amor have said that they will be taking legal action against the magazine.

“My client was not even approached for comment. Amor is currently going through a divorce and her reputation cannot afford such wild rumours,” said Amor’s lawyer Claudio Bollo.

Looks like you can’t just go around calling anyone a lesbian anymore. You have to check with them first.

Without a specific source, should publications be allowed to make such allegations? And is it even news?
