The mother of actress Angel Unigwe is taking legal action against veteran actor Kanayo O Kanayo, claiming that he violated a contract and defamed her.
Kanayo publicly criticized Angel Unigwe on social media on June 21, 2024, alleging that she did not fulfill a production contract that was negotiated with him.
He also accused Unigwe’s mother of repeatedly breaching contracts by removing her daughter from sets prematurely.
Kanayo also threatened to interfere with any movie projects involving the young actress Angel.
Juliet Kings Unigwe, Angel’s mother, responded to the allegations in a press statement posted on the actress’s Instagram page, refuting them as false and malicious. She mentioned that legal actions are being taken to address the issue.
“First, for the public records we wish to state categorically that we hold sacred the terms of any contract we enter into and we are fully committed to performing all lawful obligations required of us under such contracts.
“We vehemently deny the false accusations and slanderous statements contained in Mr. Kanayo’s video. We want to assure the public that we have done no such thing and are deeply hurt by these unfounded allegations.”
