Peggy Ovire's fallout with Frederick Leonard

The latest development comes just weeks after Peggy openly accused her estranged husband of frustrating the divorce process.

In June, the actress alleged that Frederick had asked for a divorce but failed to appear in court after being served with legal documents.

She also accused the actor of having an affair with a married woman who has children.

Peggy further escalated the drama by sharing a video showing Frederick alongside the woman she alleged was involved with him during comedian Funny Bone's event.

Calling out the actor publicly, she urged him not to avoid appearing before the customary court for the scheduled hearing on June 23.
