The Nigerian entertainment industry has been abuzz with controversy following actor Fred Amata's public outburst against his ex-wife, Agatha. The veteran actor took to social media to express his outrage and disappointment after Agatha walked their daughter down the aisle during her wedding.
Fred Amata, a respected figure in Nollywood, felt disrespected and marginalized by his ex-wife's decision. He questioned Agatha's motives and deemed the act an "abomination" since he, the biological father, was still alive.
"I was shocked and devastated when I learned that my ex-wife walked our daughter down the aisle," Fred Amata wrote. "As the father, it's my right and privilege to give my daughter away on her special day. Agatha's actions were not only disrespectful but also an affront to my role as a parent."
In an exclusive interview, Fred Amata opened up about his feelings and concerns regarding the incident.
"I understand that Agatha and I are no longer together, but as parents, we should prioritize our child's well-being and respect each other's boundaries," he explained. "Walking our daughter down the aisle without my knowledge or consent was a slap in the face. It shows a lack of regard for my feelings and my position as the father."
When contacted, Agatha Amata declined to comment on the matter. However, sources close to her revealed that she felt Fred's reaction was unjustified and overly dramatic.
"Agatha only wanted to support their daughter on her special day," the source disclosed. "She didn't mean to cause any harm or controversy. Fred's reaction has left everyone shocked and confused."
Colleagues and friends in the entertainment industry have shared mixed reactions to the controversy.
"Fred has every right to feel upset," said veteran actress, Joke Silva. "As a father, he should have been involved in that special moment."
However, some have criticized Fred's public outburst, urging him to handle the matter privately.
"Fred should have addressed this issue behind closed doors," suggested actor and director, Kunle Afolayan. "Publicly chastising Agatha only creates unnecessary drama."
The controversy surrounding Fred Amata's public outburst against his ex-wife, Agatha, serves as a reminder of the complexities of co-parenting and the importance of respecting parental roles.
As the dust settles, it remains to be seen how this incident will affect Fred and Agatha's relationship and their ability to
co-parent their daughter.
