Leaving The Queen
Vatiswa Ndara wrote an open letter that bared it all. She exposed the exploitation happening in the industry and at Ferguson’s production company. Rami sided with Vatiswa, and she was fired as well from The Queen due to this. Then she accused her former bosses of failing to submit her name for SAFTAs nomination consideration.

Thank you so much for all the compliments on #tgomnation. I’d retweet and tag but I don’t want to mention the show or production in case I’m found abusive of social media & that be used against me in the court of law. Just know that I see all of them, thank you. ❤️🙌🏾

Rami Chuene Biography, Net Worth
Between her TV work and radio work alone, Rami already has a lot of dough coming in. On top of this, she has a book underneath her belt. As such, she is estimated at approximately being worth between $1 and $5 million. To add to this valuation, Rami’s music sells along with her brand endorsements as well.
Love Life
Rami was married to Tsepo Desando, with whom she had three daughters. However, they divorced in 2013. She spoke to Drum magazine and said that she was now feeling miserable in their marriage. She added that “Divorce is not a bad thing. The circumstances around it are what might be wrong. But getting out of something when you realise you have made a mistake or that it’s not working is not bad. That is what I did.” Her divorce ranks among her top 5 best decisions ever, the actress said. This is because her Divorce allowed her to live her best life afterwards.
Getting divorced still ranks in my top 5 decisions I’ve ever made. I remember at church they sat me down from choir, my faith was questioned, got uncoupled & sidelined. I left church, still got divorced & discovered my best life. never looked back. Here I am, winning, thriving!
— Rami Chuene🌈🏳️🌈 (@ramichuene) December 24, 2019
Just because it was the best decision, it doesn’t mean it was easy. Starting over, recovery and restoration were not a joke. But I look back and know it was all worth it. Never underestimate the power of choosing to be happy.

At the current moment, Rami is not married.
Traumatic Background
In a recent interview with Anele Mdoda, Rami opened up about being sexually assaulted as a young girl, “I was raped on two separate occasions by close family friends between the age of 6 and 8,” she said.
Rami said she has only now started talking about the traumatic events after writing her memoir, We Kissed the Sun and Embraced the Moon; some of the things I wrote about were so traumatic that I had to leave the house so I could write, “I had to book into a hotel that’s not far from my house when I was writing about that chapter. I didn’t know how I would be emotional when I went to that place and didn’t want my children to see me in that space.” She said.
We love how open she is about some of the things she has been through; it is refreshing to see a vocal celebrity talking about things that affect many South Africans.
Rami Chuene Biography, Death Hoax
Rami Chuene was a victim of a death hoax. A fan announced on social media that she was dead, and it got a lot of media attention, with people believing it until she confirmed that she was still alive. She joked that she was only active because God and the Devil turned her away from Heaven and Hell.
Rami Gives Back
Rami visited Boiketlo Primary School in Limpopo, where learners received brand new school shoes to distribute shoes to 20 000 children. She also works with another school in the Vaal, where she helps raise money to buy uniforms for children. On top of this, she does a Clothes Drive with different churches.
