Comedian and Gagasi FM presenter Felix Hlophe has denied any physical violence between himself and his wife, Tracy Hlophe on Christmas Eve (24 December 2025).
This follows series of videos circulating on social media that he was involved in a physical altercation with his wife, after which she fled with their children to a neighbour’s home for safety.
In a statement on Saturday, he said the incident followed a disagreement after his wife accepted an invitation to spend time away with friends.
“My wife accepted an invitation from a friend to take some time away with our children. Accompanied by my mother-in-law, I went to fetch my wife and children.”
“During this interaction, emotions ran high on all sides, and an unfortunate confrontation took place, but there was no physical violence, “he said.
He added that the video clips shared online did not reflect the full context of the incident.
“The video clips currently circulating online do not reflect the full context of the situation and present only a partial version of events,” Hlophe said.
He confirmed that private security and the police were called to the scene, and that no arrests were made.
“Despite this distressing moment, my wife and children returned home safely. We spent Christmas together peacefully and joyfully as a family, including my mother-in-law.”
Hlophe added that the matter has been referred to his legal representatives and that he and his wife intend to handle the situation privately.
This is not the first time Hlophe has faced domestic violence allegations.
He has been married to his first wife, Tracy, for seven years, raising two children together, alongside four children from previous relationships.
