Nollywood Couple Peggy Ovire, Freddie Leonard Set Social Media Ablaze With Infidelity, Divorce Drama
Nollywood Actress Peggy Ovire has set the internet abuzz after calling out her estranged husband, Actor Freddie Leonard, accusing him of stalling their ongoing divorce proceedings while also having an affair with a married woman who had four children.
Ovire and Leonard eventually married in a traditional wedding ceremony held in Warri, Delta State, in November 2022, witnessed by family members, friends and colleagues from the entertainment industry.
The Actress fired her heated shots in a series of posts shared on her Instagram Story on Tuesday.
According to her, Leonard was the one who initially sought the dissolution of their marriage.
In one of the posts, she urged the Actor to attend a scheduled customary court sitting, alleging that he failed to appear after being served court documents.
“Please don’t avoid coming to the customary court on 23 June for the second time. You said you wanted a divorce, yet you didn’t show up when you were served,” she wrote.
She further stated that she intended to proceed with the divorce process and urged Leonard not to miss the next court date.
Beyond the divorce proceedings, Ovire also made allegations about Leonard’s relationship with another woman.
The Actress alleged that Leonard was involved with a married woman and claimed she became aware of the situation during their marriage.
She further alleged that when she confronted him about the relationship, he denied any romantic involvement and described the woman as a friend.
According to Ovire, the alleged relationship contributed to the collapse of their marriage.
The Actress also claimed that Leonard publicly praised the woman while privately making disparaging remarks about her.
The Actress’s posts generated reactions across social media, with some users expressing sympathy for the couple and others urging both parties to handle their marital dispute privately.
Others called for restraint, noting that the allegations remain unproven and that Leonard has yet to respond publicly.
