Actress Mara Louw lashes out a producers Ferguson Films for allegedly treating her like trash, after The Queen on Mzansi Magic decided to move her to an on-call contract.

Mara Louw has caused a stir after the veteran actress lashed out in the Sunday tabloid press at Ferguson Films of Shona and Connie Ferguson after the producers told her that her character of Boi was being written out of The Queen on Mzansi Magic (DStv 161).

By attacking a producer and production company publicly that gave her work, Mara Louw is likely lessening her prospects of being hired by other producers, out of fear that they might possibly be shamed in public by the actress when contracts change.

In September 2017 Mara Louw was given three months' notice that the story arc of her character Boitshwarelo "Boi" Maake in The Queen is coming to an end and that she would be moved from "permanent" to an on-call on-air talent on the show.

Ferguson Films told Mara Louw that "it is necessary to exit the character of Boi from The Queen and bring her back on a call-basis as and when the story arcs require".

On Sunday The Sunday Sun tabloid front page blared Mara Louw slamming Mzansi Magic's The Queen and the producers saying "I was treated like trash".

Ferguson Films says Mara Louw as a hired actress declined to move to the on-call contract.

Mara Louw told The Sunday Sun that "I declined to take their offer because they treated me like trash. I was on a global contract for a year, which was supposed to expire in May. Those people decided to come to me in September to tell me they had terminated my contract because the producers of the show had run out of ideas for my story line."

"With my experience in the showbiz industry and age, you can't treat me like a nobody."

AIKONA SISI! Is Mara Louw getting dumped from Idols by M-Net? Production shake-up with judges possibly looming.

I told you last week RIGHT HERE that Mara Louw will probably not be back as an Idols judge after her disgraceful performance and shocking statements during the 6th season and now people familiar with the matter are telling me that M-Net's is apparently getting ready to make this announcement official.

As I've said last week I wouldn't be surprised, and usually I hear about these things very soon, but I don't have any specific confirmation from any of my sources and the Idols production usually leaks like a sieve.

After Mara Louw's drunken vodka-fuelled outburst which prompted the strongest worded M-Net response from the pay broadcaster ever as well as her racism rants it became very clear that Mara Louw has become a major liability for the broadcaster.

BREAKING. M-Net disappointed with the drunk Mara Louw's ''irresponsible'' behaviour on the Idols set.

After her drug-fuelled, vodka induced, F-word laced behaviour, M-Net has come down hard on the drunk Idols judge Mara Louw with the strongest worded press release M-Net has ever issued in the history of the pay broadcaster, saying that M-Net is ''disappointed with her irresponsible behaviour''. ''Its a pity that the focus of Idols is moving away from where it should be: on the incredibly talented singers who are working hard to become South Africa's next Idol.''

I was first on Sunday afternoon to warn about Mara Louw's F-bomb expletive she dropped in the show and that it would be interesting to see how M-Net is going to handle it. M-Net and the producers appropriately didn't air it and were very unhappy about Mara Louw's erratic behaviour.

''Mara Louw had an energy drink with vodka before last week's show commenced [that as recorded on Friday and broadcast this past Sunday. The drink was consumed on top of strong pain medication she had taken for her broken toe,'' says M-Net.

''M-Net accepts Mara Louw's apology, but is disappointed with her irresponsible behaviour. M-Net does not allow crew members, cast and presenters, on any set to consume alcohol prior to a show. It is against our code of conduct and could lead to disciplinary action. To reinstate our stance, the Idols cast and crew will officially be informed today that M-Net will not, under any circumstances, tolerate behaviour on set that could tarnish the reputation of the production.''

IDOLS SHOCKER: Mara Louw drops an F-bomb! Will M-Net edit it out or bleep Mara Louw's F-word expletive in tonight's episode?

You're reading it here first.

Aikona sisi! I can exclusively spill that viewers might see an emotional Idols judge Mara Louw dropping the F-word expletive in tonights Idols episode starting at 17:30 on M-Net - unless the pay broadcaster edits Mara Louw's massively inappropriate F-bomb out.

I can be first to reveal that the Idols crew as well as members of the in-studio audience were simply stunned with the emotional Idols judge's expletive that she let loose in tonight's upcoming episode on M-Net. Tonight's episode was recorded on Friday when the shocker occured. M-Net might edit Mara Louw's F-incident out, or if kept, will most probably bleep Mara Louw's F-word moment.

Idols crew and on-set sources tell me M-Net bigwigs were in attendance on Friday night and that they were not happy at all with what happened since Idols is a family show. Not to mention some other celebs who were in attendance and were stunned, embarrassed and taken aback by what happened. Why did Mara Louw unexpectedly drop the F-word and what led to this? You have to watch and see!

BREAKING. ''Aikona, sisi!'' SABC2's new Sunday sitcom Skwizas will be starring Mara Louw from August. At the same time she's on M-Net's Idols!

You're reading it here first.

I can exclusively reveal that in August viewers will be able to see Mara Louw on two South African TV channels at the same time. And believe you me - SABC2 and M-Net will NOT be happy about this.

Not only can I be first to tell you that SABC2 has a brand-new sitcom called Skwizas in the works, but I can also reveal that this new SABC2 Sunday evening sitcom in August stars none other than the dear Mara Louw in this local production. Yes. I hear you. So say it with me. ''Aikona, sisi!'' Of course in one of those most surreal, surrealest twists of fate in the TV world, Mara Louw will be appearing as one of the judges in the new sixth season of Idols on M-Net as well. Broadcasters simply HATE sharing on screen talent - and that's not even when its at the same time. Imagine then how much worse it then is when one of the famous faces from one of your premiere local production's are also popping up on a rival channel during the same production run.

Sources tell me that SABC2's Skwizas will also star Lillian Dube, Mary Twala, Dolly Malunga and Rina Nienaber who are struggling with growing older as well as dwindling pensions and careers.
