RACHEL KOLISI RELEASES NEW DOCUMENTARY: ‘ HONEST AND UNFILTERED’
The preview of the documentary is set in October 2024, the same month that Rachel and estranged husband, Siya Kolisi announced their split via a joint statement.
“I’ve been in front of hundreds, sometimes thousands of people and a lot of the topics would be about living a balanced life. How do you do it all? How are you this amazing wife? This amazing mom, this social woman, you’re working out, you have this amazing business and career and foundation. And how do you just manage it all? And the truth is, I didn’t. I didn’t manage it,” she said.
“And a part of me now feels like I failed. And what that’s led me to is a point that I’m broken,” she continued.
