Nollywood actress Yvonne Jegede has stepped forward in defense of her colleague, Yul Edochie, amid the storm of criticism following his decision to take a second wife.
Speaking on The Honest Bunch podcast, Jegede challenged the backlash against Edochie, particularly noting the irony of some critics hailing Regina Daniels’ polygamous marriage while condemning Edochie’s.
Jegede’s bold statements ignited a firestorm of disappointment from some quarters, with individuals expressing their disillusionment with her remarks. Social media erupted with critiques aimed at Jegede, questioning her intelligence and judgment.
However, Jegede’s support for Edochie comes amidst a backdrop of public scrutiny and personal struggles for the actor. Despite once being adored by many, Edochie’s reputation took a hit when he married without family approval and amidst controversy with his first wife, May Edochie.
Undeterred by the criticism, Edochie remains resilient, recently addressing his detractors with a message of defiance. He highlighted his continued success in the face of adversity, emphasizing that negative comments do not affect his progress.
