In the world of Nollywood, tensions are running high as veteran actress Rita Edochie responds to her nephew, Yul Edochie, who had recently labelled her a clout chaser. This family feud has been simmering, and Rita’s response sheds light on a deeper family drama.
Yul Edochie had taken to social media to vent his frustration at Nollywood celebrities and Nigerians for their perceived hypocrisy in the aftermath of Mohbad’s tragic passing. He accused many of clout-chasing with the late singer’s name while neglecting the issues he had faced. Yul also called out his aunt, Rita Edochie, for her vocal stance on his marital drama with Judy Austin.
Rita, in her response, expressed her appreciation for still being regarded as Yul’s aunt. She admitted that Yul’s words had deeply affected her and explained why she hadn’t reached out to him. Rita claimed that Yul had changed significantly and wasn’t the person he used to be, which was why she refrained from discussing him in public.
She went on to accuse Judy Austin of caging and bottling up Yul and vowed to keep fighting for his release. Rita emphasized that the real subject matter was Judy Austin, the woman Yul had chosen to marry. Until she allowed him to be free, Rita pledged to continue addressing the situation.
Rita Edochie had previously alleged that Yul had hired individuals from a town in Onitsha to marry Judy Austin. She made this revelation following her father, Pete Edochie’s interview, where he disapproved of Judy Austin as his son’s wife. Rita mocked Judy, contrasting her with May, whom she described as a national treasure well-received in the family home. The ongoing family feud and drama continue to capture the attention of fans and media alike.
