Strictly Come Dancing star Motsi Mabuse has revealed her legal battle with her ex husband Timo Kulczak has finally come to an end, years after she made claims in her book
Strictly Come Dancing judge Motsi Mabuse has revealed legal proceedings against her have come to an end after almost three years. Her ex husband Timo Kulczak launched legal action against the professional dancer in 2023.
He sued her for £70,000 after she called him ‘controlling’ and made a series of damning allegations in her autobiography. The case went to court as Kulczak denied the claims made against him.
Today, Motsi posted about a court case as she marked the end of the chapter in her life. It comes after Andy Carroll ‘splits from Lou Teasdale due to her demands’ weeks after public row.

The TV star wrote: “After almost three years, the legal proceedings against me have now come to an end, with the court ruling in my favour. This case has been a long and challenging process, accompanied by media coverage and many articles over the years.
“It has been a constant burden, and I am relieved that clarity has finally been achieved. Now I can close this chapter and focus on the future with renewed strength.”
She also thanked her husband, Evgenij Voznyuk, legal team and management. Motsi and Kulczak, who married in 2003, divorced in 2014 after meeting at a dance tournament.
She is now married to dance partner Evgenij, with whom she has a daughter. The couple also run a dance school together in Germany.
Last year, Kulczak said Motsi struggled to adapt to the “German way” and that he had to help “organise” her. “For sure, the German character is different from the South African way of living,” he told the Sun.
“But she lived here a very long time, so she got used to it and liked how organised everything was and how things were functioning because it was organised.”
Kulczak claimed the former couple had an agreement to not talk about their private lives. He alleged his dance coaching and love life had been affected by Motsi’s claims in her book.
“I just wanted the apology. But at the point where you say all further communication is through legal teams, an apology is not enough any more,” Kulczak said last year.
Motsi is now preparing for the latest series of Strictly Come Dancing as she returns as a judge alongside Craig Revel Horwood, Anton Du Beke and Head Judge Shirley Ballas. They will welcome a whole set of new celebrities onto the dancefloor in just a few weeks time.
