A mugshot of Real Housewives of Cape Town star Beverly “Bev” Steyn has been revealed, TikToker Mbuyiselo Vilakazi dived into the details of the arrest in a video shared last week.

WHY WAS BEV STEYN ARRESTED?

TikToker Mbuyiselo Vilakazi shared a glimpse of Real Housewives of Cape Town star Bev Steyn’s mugshot via a video last week. Bev also stars on Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip South Africa alongside other housewives from other South African Real Housewives series including Durban, Johannesburg, Pretoria and Gqebehra.

According to Vilakazi, the mugshot was captured in Diep River in Cape Town October 2023. He went on to say that Bev was arrested for criminal injuria. The South African reached out to Bev, and she confirmed that the information was factual.

“So basically someone laid a charge against Bev for criminal injuria, which is unlawfully and intentionally impair someone’s dignity. So, who is this person?” he said.

Vilakazi went on to say that there is speculation that the charge was laid against Bev by her ex-husband.

“Word on the street is that it is Beverly’s ex-husband who laid a charge against her. We have to be careful when we talk about it because the matter is still in court and still a pending matter surrounding this. But basically… she said that she had been applying for protection orders against this person. And when she saw that the courts are not listening to her, she then went to her social media to vent about what transpired and this individual was of the view, that you are now exposing me and this is affecting me and my business. So, hence, this individual laid a charge against Bev,” he continued.

EXCLUSIVE: BEV OPENS UP ABOUT THE CHARGE

In an exclusive interview with The South African, Bev described the mugshot as one of the lowest moments of her life. Speaking of the trial, she said that it will start tomorrow – Thursday 18 July.

“Trial starts tomorrow, it is at the Wynberg courts and hopefully we will wrap it up all in one day otherwise, there will be another date set if all is there,” she said.

This came after Real Housewives of Johannesburg star Christall Kay spilled the tea on her “Tinder bae” on the latest episode of the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip South Africa.
