Actress, Mercy Aigbe’s estranged husband, Lanre Gentry,
has insisted that he has not been beating his wife as people are
painting him to have been doing.
According to Lanre, he had shown her love and support in the last
seven years despite some unbelievable things he had seen her do and
endure for the sake of keeping the marriage and her image intact.
“Would she have been in my house for 7 years if I beat her? I don’t
know why she pulled such a picture stunt but I know the person that
rented the house for her and the pictures and all are just stunts to
paint me bad and gain sympathy. You know where Mercy was before I
married her and in 7 years, I think I have tried but she has other ideas
and most of the things that I take from her, most men wouldn’t take it
and I hope she won’t allow me to talk if she keeps smearing my name. I
am trying to be calm because I don’t want to use my hand destroy what I
help create,” he told BON.
Mercy Aigbe is reportedly pressing charges against her husband for
battery and assault. She has not said a word on the issue till this
moment even though she was alleged to have personally leaked pictures of
her battered face and her domestic violence story to the media.
