Fred Amata, renowned Nollywood actor, has publicly expressed outrage towards his ex-wife, Agatha Amata, for excluding him from their daughter Stephanie’s wedding.
In a fiery social media post, Fred criticized Agatha for taking on the role of walking their daughter down the aisle, a duty traditionally reserved for the bride’s father, despite him being alive and well.
The couple, whose marriage ended in 2005 due to irreconcilable differences, have had a strained relationship over the years, but Fred’s latest outburst has reignited the tension.
He accused Agatha of sidelining him deliberately, claiming he was not informed of the wedding’s date and time, even though he had initially given his blessing to the union.
Fred’s Facebook rant condemned Agatha’s actions as a violation of African tradition.
He stated, “This is a taboo. This is an abomination. Nowhere in the world, nowhere in Africa, can a woman give away her child in marriage, especially when the father is alive.”
The actor further delved into his grievances from their past, revealing his instrumental role in Agatha’s rise to fame through her hit talk show, Inside-Out with Agatha.
He accused her of profiting off his name and intellectual property to build her media empire, claiming his contributions have been erased from the story of her success.
Agatha, now a media mogul, had proudly shared photos and videos of the wedding on social media, sparking Fred’s emotional reaction.
While Agatha has remained silent on Fred’s comments, the public feud has stirred conversations about family, tradition, and the complexities of divorce in the public eye.
