Days after the scandal broke out on social media, Nollywood actress, Mercy Aigbe, has finally broken her silence on the controversial wedding dress she wore for her birthday shoot.

A bride had claimed Mercy wore a dress she was supposed to change into during her wedding reception.

The designer quoted a dispatch error for the mix up in the dresses.

Mercy Aigbe has however in her reaction to the saga, sympathized with the bride and directed her lawyers to advice on the best way to approach it from a legal perspective.

She what she wrote below:

“I have followed events as they unfold following a particular dress I wore for a photoshoot. First, I must say that I sincerely sympathise with the bride as this situation is painful, unfortunate and regrettably avoidable. I hired and paid Seun @styledbyseun for the photoshoot as a stylist and got four dresses for the shoot.

“Seun and I were unaware that one of the dresses was meant for someone else. I am embarrassed that the designer was not professional enough in handling events leading to this moment.

“It is also painful that a bride is made to go through what the bride has been made to go through. I have reached out to both the stylist and designer (whom I have never met nor HIRED directly) to express my displeasure.

“I have instructed my lawyer to look into this and see how best to approach this from a legal point of view without festering an already open wound. Thanks.”
