Yul Edochie, known for his outspoken nature and support for fellow actors, recently took to social media to send heartfelt encouragement to Jerry Williams.
Amid Jerry’s ongoing struggle with drug addiction, Yul declared,
Nobody can take your crown, bro. Come back stronger. May God be with you always.”
This message of support comes at a critical time for Jerry Williams, who has been dealing with the consequences of his addiction. In June 2023, the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) announced Jerry’s indefinite suspension due to his involvement with drugs. The Guild had been closely monitoring the situation since December of the previous year, but as the situation worsened, they felt compelled to take action.
The Guild’s President revealed that while they initially allowed Jerry to undergo minor treatments, his condition deteriorated to the point where he became a risk not only to himself but also to his colleagues on set. This led to his suspension from the industry until he sought proper treatment.
Fortunately, in July, Jerry Williams finally took the necessary steps towards recovery. Sources confirmed that the actor entered an undisclosed rehab center, where he began intensive therapy. His decision to seek help was a relief to his colleagues, who had previously advised him to quit drug abuse.
Yul Edochie’s public show of support is a reminder of the strong bonds within the Nollywood community and the hope that Jerry Williams will overcome his challenges and return to the screen stronger than ever.
