😢 “I’m Tired of Defending Him” — Peggy Ovire BREAKS DOWN Over Frederick Leonard! 💔 What She Revealed Will Leave You Stunned! 😱
In an emotional and unfiltered interview that has now gone viral across Nigeria and beyond, Peggy Ovire has opened up about her struggles inside her highly publicized marriage to actor Frederick Leonard — and the revelations have left fans speechless.
The actress, known for her elegance and poise, broke down in tears as she detailed how exhausting it has become to “keep covering” for a man she once believed was her forever.
For months, whispers of tension between the Nollywood power couple have been swirling.
From missing joint appearances to cryptic Instagram quotes and even deleted photos, the signs were all there — but now Peggy has confirmed what many feared: things are not okay.
“I’m always the one answering questions,” she said tearfully in a now-trending podcast clip.
“Always the one saying, ‘He’s just busy,’ or ‘He’s working on something big.
’ But deep down, I’m hurting.
I’m tired of defending him.
I can’t do it anymore.
The actress didn’t dive into full details, but her emotional state made one thing painfully clear: this is deeper than just a minor argument.
Sources close to the couple have revealed that Peggy has been silently struggling with emotional neglect, lack of communication, and being left out of key decisions in their relationship.
“He walks out, sometimes for days, and doesn’t check in,” one anonymous friend revealed.
“She tries to keep things together in public, but in private, she’s been crying a lot.
She’s been holding him down — but who’s holding her?”
Another source claims the final straw may have come after Frederick allegedly canceled a planned vacation with Peggy without warning, choosing instead to travel solo to a film festival overseas.
“She found out through social media,” the insider revealed.
“He didn’t even tell her directly.
Peggy’s confession has triggered a storm online, with fans rallying behind her using the hashtag #WeStandWithPeggy, flooding her Instagram comments with love, support, and pleas for her to prioritize her peace.
“She has always been so composed,” one user commented.
“If she’s speaking out now, it must be really bad.
” Others called for Frederick to “speak up and fix this,” while some critics accused him of letting fame get to his head.
But Peggy made it clear she’s not looking for pity or drama — just truth and healing.
“I gave my heart fully,” she said.
“But you can’t keep pouring from an empty cup.
I’ve been fighting silently, and now I just want to breathe.
It’s a heartbreaking turn for a couple that once symbolized elegance, strength, and loyalty in Nollywood.
Their 2022 wedding was the stuff of dreams — glamorous, emotional, and filled with public vows that made fans believe in love again.
But behind those curated Instagram posts, it now appears that Peggy has been carrying far more than the public ever knew.
Still, she hasn’t confirmed if separation or divorce is on the table — yet.
“I’m not saying it’s over,” she clarified.
“I’m just saying I need him to show up the way I’ve shown up.
No more masks.No more pretending.
As Frederick Leonard remains completely silent on the matter, fans and the media are waiting to see if he’ll finally break his silence — or if this emotional outpouring from Peggy will mark the beginning of the end.
For now, Peggy’s honesty has opened the floodgates for a conversation much bigger than celebrity gossip.
It’s about women holding everything together until they shatter, about silence mistaken for strength, and about love stories that look perfect — until the truth leaks through the tears.
And the question everyone’s asking now: Will Frederick step up before it’s too late?
