Izzy Ogbeide Slams Peggy Ovire Over Collapsed Marriage, Says Actress Ignored Warning Signs

Social media personality Izzy Ogbeide has publicly criticised Nollywood actress Peggy Ovire over the reported breakdown of her marriage to actor Frederick Leonard, sparking widespread reactions from fans online.

Reports about the troubled union resurfaced after Ovire’s close friend of over two decades, Rita, shared an update alleging that Leonard asked the actress to move out of their home last year. She also claimed Ovire endured verbal abuse and other unpleasant experiences during the marriage.

Reacting in a video posted on her Instagram page, Ogbeide said she was never convinced by the public display of affection and praises Ovire showered on Leonard during their wedding ceremony, describing it as mere talk. According to her, the actress had seen clear red flags but chose to proceed with the marriage regardless.

Ogbeide further placed responsibility on Ovire for the outcome, stressing that “a woman cannot change a man,” and advising women to pay closer attention to warning signs in relationships before committing.

The video quickly gained traction online, with many social media users sharing mixed reactions. While some fans agreed with Ogbeide’s stance, others criticised her for blaming Ovire and dragging a deeply personal issue into the public space.

The alleged collapse of the celebrity marriage has continued to trend across social platforms, fueling debate over accountability, relationships, and the pressures of public life in the entertainment industry.
