Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has finally addressed the allegations made by Mr. Obasi, the ex-husband of his wife Judy Austin, regarding access to his two children. Obasi had appeared on The Honest Bunch Podcast, claiming that Edochie "snatched" his wife and that he has not seen his children for years.
Edochie's Response
In a post on X, Edochie stated that some people had reached out to him, urging him to allow Obasi to see his children. He clarified that he is not preventing anyone from seeing their children. He emphasized that in the age of social media, people prefer to chase clout and make money online using his name rather than doing the right thing.
Edochie added that Obasi should contact his ex-wife directly if he truly wants to see his children, noting that both parties can discuss the matter. He insisted that Obasi has Judy Austin's number and that the issue has nothing to do with him.
Mixed Reactions from Fans
Reactions to Edochie's statement were divided. Some fans supported him, saying Obasi should stop airing grievances online and take proper steps to resolve the matter. However, others criticized the actor, questioning why he referred to Judy Austin as Obasi's ex-wife. They accused him and his wife of being responsible for keeping Obasi away from his children, referencing Edochie's past separation from his first wife.
