Their rift, which has landed the couple in
court, started when Mercy Aigbe moved out of her matrimonial home.
She accused her estranged husband of
domestically abusing her for several years.
Despite the domestic abuse case being in court,
the pair has traded series of accusations and counter-accusations on social
media for the past couple of months.
Their hot exchange reached its climax during
the week when the actress started reacting to all the claims made by her
estranged husband.
But Gentry made a u-turn and publicly apologised
to his wife on his Instagram page, saying he still loves the actress.
“Despite all that’s been happening; I don’t love
you less. I still see you as the mother of my children and I want to give you
the respect to that regard.
“Thanks to each and every one who’s preached
peace; may God perfect all that is yours.
“God bless you and God will grant all your heart
desires. Also to my family members and my children thanks for the unending love
and support. God bless us all!!!! Amen,” he wrote.
Mercy Aigbe had claimed Gentry was begging her
in private but “forming saint in public”.
She said: “Mr. Gentry keep denying because you
need more lies. I have more than enough evidence, witnesses and your fate will
be determined in the law court.
“Now you suddenly remember the kids? Now you
suddenly remember you have a family name?
“When you were busy telling all those hideous
lies against me, you forgot we have kids!
“When you were busy punching me, hitting me and
almost killed me that day you forgot we had kids?
“In fact if you infuriate me any further I will
put everything online including the undertaking you signed three years ago at
the police station so the whole world sees you for who you are.
“I have protected you for too long. Keep it
coming I am so ready for you. Never knew I was married to my enemy.”
Prior to that, she had posted a picture of her
swollen eye, claiming it was from her estranged husband’s beatings.
Gentry, who is determined to mend fences with
Aigbe, has reportedly met with family members of his estranged wife to end the
feud between them and convince her (Mercy) to drop battery charges against him.
