Pursuing justice is necessary for her because celebrities are role models whose actions or inactions could influence others negatively.

"I've not left the case. I believe the rule of law works her and I don't believe you can just insult anybody and go scot free. If claim to be role models, we must set good role models, that is why I've left the matter to the court," she said.

She also stated that her court suit is not a joke and that she is only interested in the court handling it until the conclusion.

"It"'s no joke because it takes years to build a reputation and a brand so someone who you don't know but has been of help to can't insult you and claim to be joking. It will be a bad precedent for the future," she said.
