Made In Bondi hasn’t been on our TV screens for long but it’s already got Australia talking about whether Lawson Mahoney is putting on an accent.

Lawson has done what every reality TV star does and has taken to social media to address the claims and “slander” about his voice.

What did Lawson Mahoney say about his accent on Made In Bondi?

“I wish to address these allegations, address the confusion, address the slander on my name that somehow I’m faking an accent on a television show, Made In Bondi,” Lawson says in the Instagram video.

He goes explain that the way he pronounces “l” is “a little South African” and the way he pronounces “t” is because his grandmother told him that if he wants to be on television, he should learn how to “say them well”.

To be fair, he pronounces them better than me.

“The scenes I was having? I was a little nervous,” he continued.

“I also laugh like a seagull so I apologise to any seagulls who I might offend.”

Fair. I’ve been offending chipmunks with my laugh since I was 11.

“If you’re hating on my voice, you must be watching it, which is good in my books,” he laughed.

Oooft. Not wrong! Not wrong.
