Nigerian Nollywood filmmaker Stanley Ontop, also known as Ajemba Stanley Chibueze, has claimed that the marriage between actress Peggy Ovire and actor Frederick Leonard was an arranged union that collapsed some time ago.
On December 25, 2025, the producer stated in a social media post that the couple’s relationship had broken down, describing it as a “forced marriage” and alleging that both partners were violent.

Stanley wrote:
“Fred and Peggi no Dey marry again. The Marriage was a forced marraige and e don scatter since. Arrangee marraige.”
He further described the pair as “two violent people” who could not live together peacefully, adding: “one na public pelnise while one na violent princess.”
Stanley claimed that Peggy played a massive role in Frederick’s career, noting that she “single‑handedly made” him and helped him rise “from the gutters.”
In the caption of his post, the filmmaker advised women against investing heavily in men, referencing actress Anita Joseph as another example.
He wrote:
“My advice to women! Stop making men, cox they gonna stain ur garment. No Dey feed man.”
Stanley concluded by challenging the couple to prove him wrong by appearing together in a film or photoshoot, suggesting their separation was evident.

His comments come after months of public speculation about the couple’s relationship. In October 2024, Frederick drew attention when he failed to publicly celebrate Peggy’s birthday. Last December, the actor addressed rumours of marital troubles, warning bloggers against spreading false stories and insisting that marriage was not a matter for social media explanations.
Peggy and Frederick married on November 19, 2022, in a lavish ceremony in Asaba, Delta State, attended by many Nollywood stars. Since then, the couple has largely kept their private life away from public view, though fans continue to watch their social media activity closely.
