Nollywood actor Yul Edochie and his second wife, Judy Austin, are once again in the public eye following a fresh wave of criticism directed at their relationship.
The couple has been under intense scrutiny since Yul publicly announced their union in 2022, causing a significant uproar and dividing public opinion. The controversy has shown no signs of abating, with the latest salvo coming in the form of accusations leveled against Judy by her ex-husband, Emmanuel Obasi.
Obasi claimed in a viral video that Judy had been unfaithful and denied him access to their children for a decade. Judy swiftly responded, denying the infidelity allegations and asserting that she met Yul long after her divorce.
Undeterred by the ongoing backlash, Yul took to social media to share a loved-up photo with Judy, accompanied by a defiant message. In a mix of Pidgin English and standard English, the actor expressed frustration over the relentless criticism, accusing his detractors of spreading lies and vowed to weather the storm.
“Our progress and happiness dey pain so many people. It’s giving them sleepless nights. That is why they keep coming up with all sorts of lies against us, they are now paying people to lie against us.
“Una never see anything. Una go talk tire. When you talk finish, you hug the transformer. Our matter will send you all to the hospital. You cannot bring us down.”
The latest development has further intensified the debate surrounding the couple’s relationship, with fans and critics alike weighing in on the matter. As the drama unfolds, it remains to be seen how the couple will navigate the ongoing storm of criticism and public scrutiny.
