Lawyer Rita Amy has weighed in on the ongoing public dispute surrounding Nollywood actors Frederick Leonard and Peggy Ovire’s marriage.
Reacting to recent claims, Amy stated that the breakdown of the couple’s union was due to alleged disrespect and arrogance from Peggy Ovire, who reportedly refused to submit to her husband.
She dismissed allegations that Frederick Leonard had multiple affairs, including with married women in the industry, calling the claims “not true” and “a big lie.”
“Frederick Leonard’s Wife Was Very Disrespectful, Arrogant, And Refused To Submit To Him That’s Why Their Marriage Ended. His Wife Peggy Ovire Claimed Frederick Cheated With Multiple Women, Including Several Married Women In The Industry, But That’s Not True And a Big Lie”. She was heard saying in the video
Amy’s comments come amid heightened public interest in the couple’s relationship, which has been marked by accusations and counter-claims since their separation.
