Reasons behind Marah Louw leaving ‘The Queen’ emerge

Actress Mara Louw, who plays Boi in the Queen, will no longer be on the show.

She has left in what she claims as copyright infringements she saw within the drama’s storyline.

Marah went ahead to say that the storyline resembled one she had documented in her biography, It’s Me Marah.

“I refused because the storyline resembled an incident that is in my book. I told them that I was not going to reenact my life in a soapie. I refused because it is the kind of incident that I would not want to go through again, let alone talking about it. I told them that they got the story from my book and there is a copyright issue involved. They asked another actress to act in the episode, which still hurt me.”

Marah declined to act out the role and was then summoned to a meeting with her producers who told her they had run out of ideas for her role.

She then went home and contacted her lawyer.

Ferguson Films are yet to respond to her allegations.
