The wife of Frederick Leonard described Arimoro’s claims as “misleading, selective, and materially false,” insisting that he is twisting the events of the incident.

According to Peggy’s legal team, the confrontation began when Taye was asked to return to the set but allegedly got into a heated argument instead.

The filing claims that he assaulted the production manager, Luke Obayi, and head-butted Peggy’s driver, Joshua Madu, leaving him bleeding from the ear and nose.

Witnesses reportedly gave statements to the police confirming Taye’s aggressive behaviour. Peggy’s lawyers added that any attempt to restrain him was solely to prevent him from fleeing before the police arrived.

They emphasized that Peggy never assaulted him, and the only physical contact occurred when she lightly pushed him after he allegedly tried to deflate her car tyres.
