“It was 20 minutes to seven in the morning and Jay heard her mom scream,” an insider told YOU. “The next moment a guy walked into her room and held their family hostage. They tied them up and locked them in Jay’s room while they broke into the house.”

‘Those 3 men were as affected by us as we were them’

The former Isidingo star revealed on Instagram that three men stole all her family’s “worldly posessions”. “It was a surreal and bizarre experience,” she added.

Still, Jay is just glad she and her family are safe.

“I am so grateful for my faith and Angels who watched over me and my family. I believe we make soul contracts with everyone who comes into our lives,” she wrote on Instagram.
