Motsi s ex-husband Timo Culczak is suing her for £70,000 over claims in her memoir that he controlled her access to money and even dictated what she ate.
The judge, 42, who is married to husband Evgenij Voznyuk, is often in the spotlight but remains private about her family life, and has chosen not to publicly reveal the name of their daughter, four.
Timo is suing Motsi for £70,000 after she told how he controlled her life in her memoir, Finding My Own Rhythm, released in September 2022. His lawyers have asked the court to consider jail time.
