Nollywood actress Peggy Ovire has set social media buzzing after leveling serious allegations of infidelity against her husband, Frederick Leonard, while also making moves toward ending their marriage.
In a series of emotional and strongly worded posts, Peggy claimed that her husband had been involved in a secret relationship with a married woman with four children even before they got married, and continued after their traditional marriage in November 2022.
She alleged that although she initially trusted explanations that the two were “just friends,” she later discovered evidence suggesting otherwise, claiming the relationship involved private meetings in apartments and hotels.
“What would you do if you found out that the man you are dating is sleeping with a married woman with kids? You ask him about it, but he totally denies it, saying they are just friends, and you completely believe him. You eventually get married to him. Your husband always hypes the married woman in public, but privately tells you how “local” this so-called friend is, just to manipulate you so you will not suspect a thing. But one day, as God will have it, you get evidence and find out your husband and the said lady were never just friends. He has been sleeping with the married woman. They constantly meet either in his apartment when he goes to work or in a hotel. She also leaves her husband’s house to meet him in his apartment and in hotels,” her exposé read in parts.
According to her, the greatest betrayal is knowing the said married sidechick also attended their wedding, as they knew each other on a personal level.
“This married side chick even attended your wedding, and you had no problem with it because you thought they were just friends. But now you have evidence of both of them meeting in hotels doing things, and your so-called husband telling her how much he misses her while he is still married to you. Not long after getting married, you notice that he is now comparing you to his married side chick. You find out that he even visits her at home without her husband’s knowledge. On some occasions, he visits while her husband is around because the married side chick’s husband also believes your husband is “just friends” with his wife.“
Peggy further claimed that attempts to move forward with divorce proceedings have faced delays, stating that her husband did not appear in court personally on one occasion, but instead sent legal representation.
She also accused him of attempting to avoid proceedings at a customary court session, insisting that she intends to continue with the legal process until the matter is concluded.
Frederick Leonard has not publicly responded to the latest allegations at the time of filing this report.
The situation has since sparked widespread reactions across social media, with fans and industry observers closely following developments in the high-profile celebrity marriage.
