Actor and filmmaker Yul Edochie has reacted to social media calls urging him to intervene in a dispute involving his wife, Judy Austin’s ex-husband, Emmanuel Obasi, and issues concerning their children.
Edochie, in a post shared on his social media page, clarified that he has never prevented anyone from seeing their children, stressing that he has no involvement in the matter.
According to him, any arrangement regarding access to the children should be handled directly between Obasi and Judy Austin.
“Some of my fans have reached out to me, saying, ‘Please allow him to see his children.’ I have never stopped anybody from seeing his children. Tell him to call his ex-wife if he wants to see or take his children; let them discuss it. He has her number. It has nothing to do with me,” Edochie wrote.
He also criticised what he described as the growing tendency of individuals chasing clout and social media revenue by dragging his name into personal issues.
His response comes after Emmanuel Obasi, Judy Austin’s former husband, made a series of allegations during an emotional podcast interview that triggered widespread online reactions.
Speaking on the podcast, Obasi claimed Judy Austin’s admiration for Edochie went beyond that of a normal fan while they were still married.
“I’m the former husband to Judy Austin, Yul Edochie’s wife. We have two children together,” Obasi said. “Anytime we were watching television and Yul Edochie appeared on the screen, Judy would stop paying attention to everything else. She would tell me directly that she loved Yul and would keep praising him. I have evidence that they were dating under my roof.”
Obasi also presented old wedding and family photographs during the interview.
However, Judy Austin has repeatedly denied allegations that she had any romantic relationship with Edochie while still married to Obasi.
She maintained that her marriage to Obasi ended in March 2013 and that her relationship with Edochie began years after their separation.
Since Edochie publicly introduced Judy Austin as his second wife, the matter has continued to generate intense public debate, drawing reactions from fans, celebrities, and social commentators.
