Emmanuel Obasi, the former husband of Nollywood actress Judy Austin, has publicly recounted painful details of his marriage, alleging that she was infatuated with actor Yul Edochie while they were still together.
In a snippet from an emotional interview on the HonestBunch podcast, the same platform where Yul spoke about his estranged marriage with his first wife, May, a few weeks ago, Obasi opened up about his crashed union with Judy.
Introducing himself, Obasi said, “I’m the former husband to Judy Austin. We have two children together. Sometimes I ask myself, wetin man do man?”
He further alleged that Judy would lose focus whenever Yul appeared on television, openly telling him she loved the actor and praising him. Obasi stated he has evidence that the pair were dating “under my roof.”
“Anytime we were watching TV and Yul Edochie appears, Judy won’t concentrate anymore, she’ll be telling me to my face that she loves Yul and be praising him.. I have evidence that they were dating under my Roof.”
To support his claims of his marriage to Judy, Obasi showed old family photos from their wedding. One of the highlights was the moment Obasi broke down as he was seen dabbing his eyes with a handkerchief. Recall that he had cried out over being denied access to his children.
