Actress Mercy Aigbe has narrated her side of the story regarding the public physical brawl she engaged in with Lagos Entrepreneur, Lara Olukotun.
Mercy Aigbe gave her explanation in multiple posts on her instastory.
According to her:
I have been bullied online several times by Larrit. She calls me unprintable names unprovoked, yesterday she took it a step further by physically assaulting me.
I was at a friend’s store opening to celebrate with her.
Larrit was one of the guests. This woman, for reasons best known to her, slanders me online at every opportunity she gets.
She has done many live videos and posts to this effects. I tried to reach out to her to understand what the issues were, but she chose to ignore me.
Lara and I are acquaintances. I have patronized her business and she also has done likewise.
So i was suprised and confused how she suddenly became an enemy.
I called few people close to her to understand why she would decide to be an antagonist.
All efforts proved abortive.
At the party yesterday, she started with the same energy, throwing words at me, calling me names and being disrespectful.
Initially I kept calm and people around her appealed to her to stop, yet Lara wouldn’t stop.
And so I decided to stand up for myself and I retaliated with the same energy.
It became heated and at some point she tried to throw a bottle at me., but it hit the lady sitting in front of me and there was pandemonium.
