“Protect Her”- Rita Onyekweli Reveals Details About Peggy Ovire’s Split

• New information has emerged about the issues between Nollywood actress Peggy Ovire and her estranged husband, Frederick Leonard.

New information has surfaced regarding the reported troubles between Nollywood actress Peggy Ovire and her estranged husband, Frederick Leonard.

Rumors of a split began circulating a few months ago after Ovire engaged in a solo Christmas photoshoot in which she was seen without her wedding ring, a move that caught public attention.

In a recent video update shared by content creator Rita Onyekweli, she claimed that Leonard had allegedly asked Ovire to leave their home as far back as mid-last year. Attempts were reportedly made to mediate their disputes, including seeing a therapist, but these efforts failed to resolve the marital issues. Rita, who stated she has known Ovire for 22 years, said the couple’s relationship did not improve despite these interventions.

The video also included allegations of abusive behavior by Leonard, who was said to have frequently insulted Ovire. According to Rita, the actress developed defensive mechanisms in response, which Leonard reportedly labeled as prideful and disrespectful.

Rita suggested that Ovire’s recent clash with a colleague on set might be linked to the strain of her marriage, explaining that the experiences had changed her and that she is now better off after stepping away from the relationship.

Additionally, Rita claimed that Leonard had been discouraging other actors from working with Ovire, threatening to sever professional ties with anyone who collaborated with her.

She appealed to Leonard to allow Ovire to move forward peacefully and concentrate on her career, emphasizing that since Ovire prefers to keep her personal struggles private, both parties should respect each other’s space and move on amicably.
