Former schoolmate accuses Charlize Theron of lying over ‘bullying’ claims

Johannesburg: A former schoolmate of Charlize Theron has revealed that the actress was lying when she said that she was bullied at school. Theron recently said in an American magazine that she was a shrinking violet at school, boys were not interested in her and she was frequently bullied. But Karlien Breytenbach said that Theron is talking nonsense about the bullying. “She was never bullied. She’s the one who bullied the other children,” News24 quoted Breytenbach as saying. Breytenbach also said that her sister, Anita, and other friends who were with Theron at the Putfontein Primary School in Benoni, can even substantiate this information. “It makes me the hell in when Charlize talks such crap.” She studied in Grade 3 when Theron and her younger sister were in Grade 1. Breytenbach also claimed that Theron’s story that she grew up poor is false too. “While the other children got at the most 20 cents a day for pocket money, Charlize came to school with R20 every day.” The former schoolmate also claimed that Theron knew how to throw a tantrum if she did not get her way. “Didn’t she get to Hollywood because of the big fuss she kicked up in the bank? She’s dishonest with the world,” Breytenbach added. ANI
