Nollywood actress, Uju Okoli has found herself at the center of rumors about a romantic relationship with her married colleague, Frederick Leonard.
The gossip started when an Instagram blog, Cutie Juls, hinted that Frederick Leonard had been vacationing in Mexico with his wife, Peggy Ovire.
The blog pointed out that a certain woman, who usually likes or comments on Leonard’s posts, had been noticeably silent during the trip.
Cutie Juls suggested that this woman could be Leonard’s secret lover, pretending to be his “sister” in public.
Although the blogger did not directly name anyone, it gave followers a clue by referring to a background song that featured the name “Uju.”
This led many social media users to speculate and tag Uju Okoli in the comment section.
Cutie Juls wrote: “😩😩😩😩 when Cutie said Aunty was doing side chic with Uncle Fred, shey they started forming brother and sister in the b!d to sh@me Cutie?
“Abeg, it’s normal.. side chics get broken-hearted every time.
“This too shall pass.. Nne, don’t worry okay? He will soon be back to tell you another sweet l!es so you will open legs again. 😩😩😩😩 happy looney times my love
“NB: Those of you that always last in this class to decode, please pay attention to the lyrics in the background song 👩🦯”
In response to the rumors, Uju Okoli chose not to remain silent. She commented on the post, saying:
“Cutie I LOVE YOU DIE…. Make i no lie….I REALLY DO LOVE YOU😂😂😂😂😂…. If only you know❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️,but remember God LOVES YOU MORE🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️.”
A Twitter user, @cynthiaaluu, advised her, “@officialujuokoli my sister I feel so bad that you dropped this comment. You would have ignored this post but it’s well.”
Uju Okoli replied, “@cynthiaaluu my sister i hardly do,but I just needed to,but trust me,it wasn’t from a place of hate… God in heaven sees and knows it all…one love❤️❤️❤️❤️.”
KanyiDaily recalls that Uju Okoli had shared a photo of herself posing ‘indecently’ with Frederick Leonard as they embark on a new movie project.
