Controversy surrounds Nollywood actor Yul Edochie as reports suggest that he has refuted being married to his partner, Judy Austin, during ongoing divorce proceedings with his estranged wife, May Edochie.
May Edochie had initiated divorce proceedings, seeking N100 million from Judy Austin for alleged adultery. In addition, May obtained a restraining order to deny Yul access to their former matrimonial home, citing safety concerns. She also secured full custody of their children.
During the court hearing, Yul Edochie reportedly denied being married to Judy Austin, insisting that May is his only wife. Blogger Cutie Juls claimed that Judy Austin also affirmed that they are not married, expressing shock at reports stating otherwise.
The couple disputed the reports, labeling them as false and asserting that they were unaware of their alleged marriage as portrayed on blogs.
In response, netizens criticized the couple, branding them as ‘clowns’ and expressing skepticism about their reluctance to pay the N100 million demanded by May. Some highlighted Yul’s previous posts referring to Judy as his second wife and proudly identifying as a polygamist, suggesting a contradiction in his denial.
Amidst the online reactions, users speculated on the dynamics of the divorce proceedings, with some predicting that Yul may resist granting May a divorce. Concerns were raised about the potential consequences of the legal battle.
The unfolding drama continues to capture the attention of social media, with followers closely monitoring the statements and actions of the parties involved.
