Mother of Angel Unigwe takes legal action against Kanayo O. Kanayo
The mother of actress Angel Unigwe has filed a lawsuit against veteran actor Kanayo O. Kanayo, accusing him of breach of contract and defamation.
This follows an incident on June 21, 2024, where Kanayo criticized Angel Unigwe on social media, accusing her of failing to fulfill a production contract they had agreed upon.
He also claimed that Unigwe’s mother has a history of breaking contracts by withdrawing her daughter from sets prematurely.
Furthermore, Kanayo threatened to undermine any future film projects involving the young actress.
In response, Juliet Kings Unigwe, Angel’s mother, issued a press statement on the actress’s Instagram page, describing the allegations as false and malicious, and announced that legal actions are being taken to address the situation.
“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.”
