A lady who claims to be close to Nollywood actor Frederick Leonard has stirred fresh reactions online after alleging that disrespect, not infidelity, led to the collapse of his marriage to actress, Peggy Ovire.
The woman, who described herself as someone who has spoken to Freddie several times, said she initially kept quiet out of respect for the couple.
However, she decided to speak after Peggy allegedly pushed a narrative that cheating caused the separation.
In her words, she said:
“Freddie ended his marriage, not the other way round. Nothing like cheating happened. Absolutely nothing like that.”
She further claimed that the real issue was what she described as Peggy’s “disrespectful” behaviour and lack of submission in the marriage.
The lady alleged that Freddie Leonard had been careful not to paint his wife in a bad light.
She said he once told her, the marriage has broken down irretrievably, not because my wife is a bad person, but because she is very Western.
She also questioned why Peggy allegedly removed his surname from her social media weeks before making public accusations.
“If your marriage has ended, why dent his image? Why disgrace him? He has never come out to say anything bad about you,” she said.
Her remark comes days after Peggy went online with a series of allegations about a married man involved with a married woman, comments many social media users speculated were directed at her husband.
The fresh allegations have since sparked mixed reactions across social media, with some users defending Peggy while others expressed support for Frederick Leonard.
As of the time of this report, neither Frederick Leonard nor Peggy Ovire has officially responded to the fresh claims.
