Actor Yul Edochie has dismissed recent criticism surrounding his personal life, insisting that no “mortal or spirit” can bring him down amid ongoing public debate involving his marriage to actress Judy Austin and her former husband, Mr Obasi.
In a Facebook post on Sunday, Edochie said he has faced false claims for years but maintained that they have failed to affect him.
“My aura gives my enemies sleepless nights. In the last 4 years they’ve told all sorts of lies against me and they all failed,” he wrote.
He alleged that recent narratives suggesting he “took another man’s wife” were part of a coordinated effort to damage his reputation, insisting the claims were misleading.
He described Mr Obasi as a man who left his marriage in 2013, remarried, and later re-emerged publicly years after his former wife gained attention.
“A man who left his wife in 2013, married another woman and moved on… years after he sees the ex-wife is now doing well and comes back to attach himself,” he wrote.
Edochie rejected the allegations, saying he remains unfazed by criticism.
“I’m a rock. No mortal or spirit can bring me down. I’m a chosen one. A lion. A king,” he added.
He attributed his resilience to what he called “God’s grace,” insisting that his continued relevance and fan support are proof of divine backing.
Meanwhile, the controversy has intensified following comments from Judy Austin, who responded to claims made by her ex-husband, Emmanuel Obasi, during a viral appearance on the Honest Bunch Podcast.
Obasi alleged that Edochie was “harbouring” his children and preventing him from accessing them, accusations Judy has strongly denied.
In a video response, she defended the actor, insisting he has been supportive of her children and should not be vilified.
“Please, you people should stop insulting Yul Edochie. For everything, he has helped me take care of kids who are not his biological children… he puts a roof over their heads, pays their school fees, and feeds them,” she said.
Judy also clarified that she met Edochie in 2016 on a movie set, insisting their relationship began long after her marriage to Obasi had ended. She added that backlash against the actor was unfair and harmful, especially to single mothers seeking support.
The unfolding dispute continues to spark heated reactions across social media, with divided opinions over the allegations and counterclaims.
