OHMYGOSSIP — Johannes Radebe was stopped by police because they thought he looked “suspicious”.
The 36-year-old dancer explained that he had been sitting in the car park where he had been sitting after completing a show on the ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ Live tour and was approached by police who claimed he looked like someone they were after.
He told The Daily Mirror newspaper: “A police van pulled up into the parking lot where I was sitting. Two officers got of the car. I said, ‘Mummy, they are walking over to me’. ‘What did you do wrong?’ she asked. I felt stung. ‘Nothing’, I said. When they came over I showed my ID. ‘Is there something wrong?’ I asked one of them. ‘No, you look suspicious and like someone we are looking for’.”
The TV star went on to muse that perhaps the police were just doing what they needed to to get a job done, but admitted that having gone from the highs of performing in an arena in front of thousands, the whole incident felt like a “slap in the face” to him.
He added: “Maybe they were doing their job but the fact I’d just been on stage with thousands of people shouting my name and now I was being approached by police who thought I could be a criminal felt like a slap in the face! Regardless, I wrapped up the tour oozing positive energy!”
Johannes previously claimed that he is constantly stopped by police because of the way he looks.
Speaking on ‘Steph’s Packed Lunch’, he said: “I’m going to stop wearing a cap and a black leather jacket. I say that because I get stopped all the time and they go: ‘Oh sorry, it’s not you.’ Police… I’m tall, I’m black. It’s important who you are and what you do and where you hang around.”
