Nollywood actress, Mercy Aigbe has opened up on claim by her husband,
Lanre Gentry, that she had sex with several men even while married to
him.
Aigbe said she was never promiscuous and that the allegation was aimed at tarnishing her image.
“Before I got married, there was no scandal about me being promiscuous,
no one could say that I was sleeping around; so why would I now do such
as a married woman?
“If I were that promiscuous like he claims, how come no journalist has
ever reported such stories about me? I have been working so hard to
build my brand and now he wants to rubbish it,” she told Punch.
“I am fighting for my life because if I die there would be no image to
protect. I just want him to sign an undertaking that nothing would
happen to me because a man who is capable of sending thugs to the house
is capable of anything.
“Someone who can set me up and lie that I have mental illness can do
anything. He should sign the undertaking and we should go our different
ways. If not, I would leave the case to the appropriate agency and the
law would take its full course.
“I endured all the things that I went through in his hands because of my
children and also because of the fact that people look up to me as a
role model. I have been through a lot and I pray and fast a lot so that
things would go on smoothly. I have been praying and enduring a lot but
this last time, the beating was brutal and he almost killed me.”
On status of her marriage she said: “The case is no longer between my
husband and I. It is now between the Office of Public Defenders, Lagos
State Ministry of Women Affairs and my husband. The officer is the one
handling the case.”
