TikTok content creator Luzanne Fouché, better known online as “Farming Blonde,” has strongly denied allegations that she took advantage of a vulnerable medical practitioner in the months before his death.

The allegations were brought forward by Peter Brink, the brother-in-law of Dr Egbert Weis, an East London medical practitioner who died in January 2023. Brink released a video outlining a number of financial transactions that reportedly occurred between 2022 and 2023, during a period when Weis was allegedly experiencing a manic episode and was not taking his prescribed medication.

According to reports by Rapport, Weis allegedly purchased a Porsche for Fouché during this period. He also reportedly attempted to transfer ownership of a luxury apartment, estimated to be worth between R2.5 million and R3 million, to her children. The transaction was stopped after members of Weis’s family intervened.

The controversy resurfaced after Fouché launched an R350,000 fundraising campaign on BackaBuddy. The campaign was later removed from the platform, after which Brink publicly addressed the allegations in his video.

Attorney Henry van Breda reportedly confirmed that efforts to recover the Porsche became complicated. The vehicle was eventually returned, although it was allegedly damaged when it came back.

A source familiar with the situation said Fouché had previously been a patient of Weis at his medical practice in Gonubie and maintained that their relationship was not romantic.

Fouché has rejected the accusations in their entirety.

Anthony Boucher, an investigator with Mike Bolhuis’ Specialised Security Services, said he is representing Fouché in connection with the matter. According to Boucher, Fouché “categorically denies” the allegations and maintains that she has evidence that could contradict the claims being made against her.

Boucher has also advised Fouché to avoid engaging in public arguments on social media while a private investigation into the matter continues.

Weis died in January 2023. His family has expressed concern about the financial decisions made during what they describe as a manic episode, including significant purchases and attempted property transactions, believing these events played a role in the difficult circumstances surrounding the final period of his life.

At this stage, the allegations remain disputed, with Fouché firmly denying wrongdoing. The ongoing investigation is expected to shed more light on the financial transactions and the circumstances surrounding the relationship between the two individuals.
