Nollywood actress Esther Nwachukwu has publicly criticized her colleague, Frederick Leonard, regarding their late colleague Junior Pope’s death.
In a video posted on her Instagram page, Esther highlighted how Junior Pope and his wife attended Frederick Leonard’s wedding to Peggy Ovire in 2022. However, Frederick did not reciprocate the support when Junior Pope passed away. Esther noted that Frederick neither attended Junior Pope’s funeral nor publicly mourned him or sympathized with his family.
I am calling out Frederick Leonard. I want to know when Junior Pope was alive, he and his wife attended Frederick Leonard’s wedding with happiness. Now, Junior Pope is dead, Frederick didn’t attend his burial, nor did he sympathize with his family or post.
You see, Frederick Leonard isn’t who you all really think he is. That guy’s mind is filled with jealousy. As they saw that Junior Pope was outshining them, jealousy set in,” Esther stated.
On July 1st, Esther Nwachukwu also dragged Jennifer Awele, the widow of Junior Pope, for attending Regina Daniels’ son’s birthday party. She criticized the late actor’s wife for taking on jobs while still mourning her husband. Esther questioned why the widow was not staying indoors to mourn her husband for six months to a year, considering people had contributed enough money for her and her children.
Junior Pope tragically lost his life after drowning in the Anam River in Anambra State while returning from a movie set on April 8th. He was laid to rest amidst tears in his hometown in Ukehe, Enugu State, in May.
