Brinnette’s obsession with luxury became more evident during her extravagant and lavished traditional and white wedding. In an interview with The Drum Magazine, Themba Gazane, Brunette’s ex-husband, revealed that they spent over a million Rand only for their traditional wedding, mostly on expensive dresses and other decorative accessories.
Keeping up with such pace, their white wedding witnessed even more display of elegance as it was gathered that she spent as much as R400,000 on flower bouquets. There was no mention of the two very expensive dresses she wore during the wedding.
Sadly after walking down the aisle, basking in such luxury, her conjugal bliss never stood the test of time as it hit the rocks just after five months with the couple going their separate ways. Brinnette alleged that she suffered domestic violence and abuse from her ex-husband and that was what prompted her to file for divorce.
