Is Namhla really a drama queen?

Johannesburg - On screen, she plays the teenage rebel Namhla Diale known for her outbursts and sometimes foolish behaviour.

But you would excuse the character if it wasn't for the fact that the actress who plays Namhla, Thulisile Phongolo, is accused of being exactly the same in real life.

According to Move, the actress is getting a little too big for her boots and often causes giant headaches on the set with her diva tendencies and tantrums. In fact, it got so bad that sources have started comparing her to a former Generations actress accused of the same thing.

"Thulisile is very difficult to work with and has diva tendencies that Nambitha Mpumlwana had," the source told the magazine.

Added to her naughty list is the fact that Thulisile apparently pitches late for shoots, wants to control how she looks on screen and is "demanding and rude to cast and crew."

Mfundi Vundla has denied the claims saying they are "not true" but sources say the young actresses is one of Mfundi's favourites. Especially since her mom is said to be Mfundi's friend.

Thulisile, we think it's time you spent time in the naughty corner. No TV for you!
