Veteran Nollywood actress Rita Edochie has unleashed a scathing attack on the supporters of Judy Austin, the second wife of her colleague and cousin-in-law, Yul Edochie. In a fiery social media post, Edochie called out those who stand by Austin’s actions, labeling them as “birds of the same feathers” and accusing them of being products of polygamous marriages or belonging to a group of “husband snatchers.”
The ongoing feud between Edochie and Austin has been a topic of much discussion in the Nigerian entertainment industry since the latter’s marriage to Yul Edochie became public knowledge. Edochie, who has been vocal in her disapproval of the union, did not mince words as she expressed her disdain for those who support Austin’s actions.
In her strongly worded post, Edochie wrote, “Husband snatchers association of africa listen up………………………………. anybody wey dey support juju whorestin, it’s either the person na product from a polygamous home, association of husband snatchers , meaning either the person must have done it or about to do it like juju whorestin . Yes nooooow . check ✔️ it nooooow.”
Edochie’s words paint a picture of a deeply divided Nollywood community, where allegiances are drawn along the lines of personal experiences and moral stances. By suggesting that Austin’s supporters are either products of polygamous homes or members of a “husband snatchers association,” Edochie implies that their support for the controversial union stems from their own personal histories or intentions to engage in similar behavior.
The actress’s post also carries an ominous warning about the consequences of supporting Austin’s actions. Edochie asserts that karma is real and that those who stand by the second wife will eventually face the repercussions of their choices, no matter how long it takes. “but one thing is clear Karma is real. No matter how many years it takes, it must surely come to pass,” she wrote, her words serving as a cautionary tale for those who may be tempted to follow in Austin’s footsteps.
While Edochie did not explicitly name any individuals in her post, recent events suggest that her message may be directed at a specific target. A popular Nigerian entertainment news platform, reported that Blessing Nkiru Okoro, better known as Blessing CEO, had recently expressed her support for Judy Austin’s relationship with Yul Edochie.
According to the report, Austin had shared a video of herself showering prayers on her “king,” Yul Edochie, claiming that she was blessing him for having blessed her with a beautiful morning. The post sparked mixed reactions, with many condemning Austin for her two-year relationship with the father of five.
Blessing CEO, however, took a different stance. In a controversial move, she threw a subtle shade at May Edochie’s fans, telling Judy Austin to serve her haters tears for breakfast. She went even further, advising men to leave their wives if they were not being hyped like Austin.
The ongoing drama between Rita Edochie, Judy Austin, and their respective supporters has shed light on the complex dynamics and moral dilemmas that often arise within the Nigerian entertainment industry. As the public watches the feud unfold, it has sparked a broader conversation about the nature of relationships, loyalty, and the consequences of one’s actions.
Edochie’s scathing attack on Austin’s supporters serves as a reminder that the choices we make and the alliances we form can have far-reaching implications, both personally and professionally. As the veteran actress warns of the inevitable hand of karma, her words serve as a sobering reminder that the decisions we make today may come back to haunt us in the future.
As the Nollywood community continues to grapple with the fallout from Yul Edochie’s controversial second marriage, Rita Edochie’s powerful message has added fuel to the already raging fire. Her words have forced those in the industry and beyond to confront their own moral compasses and consider the long-term consequences of their actions and allegiances.
In a world where the lines between personal and professional lives are often blurred, Edochie’s post serves as a clarion call for integrity, accountability, and the importance of standing on the right side of history. As the drama continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the various players in this complex web of relationships will navigate the challenges and moral quandaries that lie ahead.
