Nollywood actress Peggy Ovire has responded to the N100 million lawsuit filed against her by actor Taye Arimoro.
Taye Arimoro had accused Peggy and her crew of assaulting him on a movie set, claiming his tyres were deflated and his exit blocked on her instructions.
He shared images of injuries to his mouth, insisting he was attacked for attempting to leave the location.

Peggy, however, presented a sharply different narrative.
In her fresh legal response, the actress maintained that Taye’s accusations were misleading, selective, and materially false, insisting the actor omitted critical parts of the story.
According to her legal team, the issue began when Taye was asked to return to the set but allegedly reacted violently instead.
Peggy claimed he first assaulted the production manager, Luke Obayi, and then allegedly head-butted her driver, Joshua Madu, who was said to be bleeding from the ear and nose.
Witnesses reportedly submitted statements to the police confirming the alleged assaults.
The actress said Taye attempted to flee after the confrontation, and any effort to restrain him was only to prevent him from escaping before police officers arrived.
Peggy further denied ever assaulting him, stressing that the only physical contact was a light push after he allegedly tried to deflate her car tyres.
Just when many thought the back-and-forth might calm down, a CCTV clip surfaced online, one that seems to complicate Peggy’s defence.
In the footage, the actress is seen pulling off her wig, handing her phone to someone, and appearing to approach Taye in a confrontational manner.
The clip quickly became the centre of online debate, with many wondering whether the actress had withheld key details or whether the short recording lacked context.
While Peggy insists she never assaulted Taye, social media users argue that the footage suggests she was ready to engage physically.
