EKO HOT BLOG report that the Popular Nigerian actress, Mercy Aigbe has shared her side of the story after fighting with popular Lagos socialite, Lara Olukotun.

Recall that a video made the rounds on social media showing both women involved in a public fight.

Sharing her side of the story via Instagram, Mercy Aigbe claimed that Lara constantly bullies her at every chance she gets.

Speaking further on their relationship, the mother of two insisted that they were acquaintances who had patronized each other’s businesses.

She said Lara suddenly started speaking badly about her for no particular reason and refused to stop even after she reached out to her.

Mercy explained that they were at a mutual friend’s store opening when Lara started disrespecting her as she normally does.

The actress stated that she initially ignored her but was forced to react when she refused to stop insulting her.

She wrote:

In reference to the video online: My side of the story. PART 1

I have been bullied online several times by Larrit (Lara). 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 (@rhemmygold) to celebrate with her.

Larrit (Lara) 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 effect. 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 surprised and confused how she suddenly became an enemy. I sent messages to her on WhatsApp, I called a few people close to her to understand why she would decide to be an antagonist. All efforts proved abortive.

She continued:

My side of the story Part 2:

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 didn’t respond to her, 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 everyone around tried to broker peace, but she still wouldn’t stop. At some point, she tried to throw a bottle at me, but it hit the lady sitting in front of her and there was pandemonium. I stepped out to leave in the middle of the brouhaha but my friends pleaded with me to stay including the celebrant, I went back in and she started attacking me verbally again, Eventually, she was taken out of the party. And she left.

She went overboard with her hate yesterday: The bottle could have harmed someone and it would become a criminal case. This was an unnecessary attack.

However I would like to apologize to my fans and family who felt I should have handled the whole situation differently, I AM SORRY
