May's legal battle with Yinka, lawyer
According to reports by Newsdish.ng shared by her fan base, May Nation, the letters accused both individuals of publishing damaging content about May across social media platforms including Instagram, Facebook, and X.
The actress claimed the online posts had caused severe harm to her reputation, brand partnerships, and business ventures.
In separate letters to Ugwuonye and Theisen, her lawyers demanded, an immediate halt to the posts, A public apology and full retraction on every platform where the alleged defamatory statements appeared and financial compensation, ₦1 billion from Ugwuonye and ₦500 million from Theisen.
The letters gave a 48-hour deadline for compliance, warning that failure to act would push Queen May to commence both civil and criminal proceedings.
Part of the letter read:
“Our client has suffered severe and irreparable harm as a result, and she will not stand by and allow this misconduct to continue"
Why Ugwuonye and Theisen?
Ugwuonye, who once served as May’s lawyer, reportedly terminated his professional relationship with her in June, citing harassment from her fans.

“Clowns! Bring it on deluded bunch of clowns. Just made my account public again! Clowns!!!”
