A shocking Revolution has emerged as Yul Edochie the Nollyhood actor tells the Court that he, is not married to Judy Austin but they are both kit makers
The Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie, has claimed not to be married to Judith Austin, his supposed second wife and mother of one of his sons whom he has left his marital home and has been cohabiting for years now
This came after he said, the relationship between them is all about skit making, all about jokes and making money from skit traffic that he enjoyed threading and maintains there is no legally recognized union between him and Judy Austin
May had filed for divorce in August year 2023 with details of the court proceedings being kept hush. Ugwuonye said the ongoing case at the FCT High Court, Abuja, slated for a hearing on 5 March, faced an unexpected setback as the court session did not proceed after Yul told them both he and Judy are not married but are skit-maker
In light of this, Ugwuonye, who had initially kept the case details under wraps, now finds himself obligated to unveil the unfolding developments. Detailing the developments in the case, May’s lawyer highlighted what he considered to be the defense strategy employed by Yul and Judy.
He said they denied being married and insisted that their relationship lacked any legal statutory recognition, claiming to be skit makers and that both parties Yul and Judy are confident in their claims. Then citing Yul’s filing, May’s lawyer detailed how the actor denied his marriage to Judy.
He said Yul wrote, “Since the news of the birth of Star in June 2021, a lot of publishers, blogs, news platforms and social media users across the internet, as a negative blog that thrives in fake and manipulated information for financial gains
They have been negatively exploiting every movie or skit featuring me and Judy and generating social media traffic for financial gains.” because of these sad developments, we also have no choice but to join them in their negative skit content creation to make traffic and bank in some money for our self
He said May’s initial petition highlighted an alleged traditional marriage ceremony between Yul and Judy on April 24, 2022, in Anambra State, as reported by some blogs. In response, Yul categorically denied the claim, attributing it to the Gistlover blog’s promotion of false information for financial benefit. He also reveals that the supposed traditional marriage who a skit scene as his parents and kinsmen are not ever present on such an occasion
Jointly both Yul and Judy deny the traditional marriage ceremony mentioned in May’s petition, insisting that it was a fabricated story fuelled by the blog’s penchant for fake news and traffic.
However, May’s lawyer noted that what was described as a skit-making relationship has produced two children and is about to get the third one, then asking if the children are also skit scenes
Yul’s union with Judy has produced two children. In November 2021, Judy welcomed a son named Star Munachimso with Yul, and it is reported that the couple has since welcomed another child, a daughter.
According to May’s lawyer, the accused pair plans to argue that their social media content, including videos and posts, is part of a skit-making endeavor, drawing parallels with Oga Sabinus, one of the popular skit-maker known for his comedic content.
The Respondent (Yul) left Lagos for Enugu the following day, the 21st of April, 2022, a Thursday, and on Sunday, the 24th of April, 2022, the Petitioner found out again on social media via Gistlover Blog that the Respondent was performing traditional marriage rites with Judy in her hometown in Anambra State as at when the information was posted. (The Petitioner shall rely on the publication of this suit at the trial.)
The Respondent (Yul) categorically denies paragraph 10 (xviii) of the petition and states that the Gistlover blog publication was false and fueled by Gistlover’s enterprise in the fake news and chaos blogging sphere. Since the news of the birth of the Respondent’s child with the Co-Respondent in June 2021, Gistlover has been publishing negative pieces that thrive in fake and manipulated information for financial gains them
Has been negatively exploiting every movie or skit featuring the Respondent & Co-Respondent and generating social media traffic for financial benefits therefrom. The Respondent hereby gives the Petitioner the strictest proof thereof.
The Co-Respondent (Judy) categorically denies paragraphs 10 (xviii) &(xix) of the petition and states that the said Gistlover blog publication was false and fueled by Gistlover’s enterprise in fake news and chaos.
Saying there was no traditional marriage ceremony between the Respondent and the Co-Respondent (Yul and Judy) on the 24th day of April 2022 or any other date till now. The Co-Respondent hereby gives the Petitioner the strictest proof thereof.
According to DPA lawyers, following Yul’s announcement of his second marriage, May had initially considered pressing a bigamy charge, which is a criminal offense of marrying someone while still legally married to another person, against Yul.
However, she was said to have decided against taking such a legal path out of fear of seeing her husband behind bars in the event of a successful outcome of such a case.
May’s lawyer said this prompted a shift in strategy. Instead of that, May opted to file for divorce and pursue damages for adultery against Judy, Yul’s alleged extramarital partner. May’s lawyer said she resorted to seeking legal redress in court after the death of their son last year 2024.
The lawyer added that May’s refusal to grant Yul intimacy demands since he had a second marriage eventually felt compelled to involve the law due to threats and aggressive behavior from her estranged husband in forcing her to accept the second wife o both can live at peace.
According to the DPA family law firm, contrary to speculations circulating on social media and in certain blogging circles, May did not file a bigamy complaint against Yul.
He explained: ‘‘Each time bigamy was mentioned, she asked, “Will they arrest him?” And we would say: “Most likely yes.” She would refuse to approve it. You can understand that. Despite what Yul did to her, she didn’t want him arrested.
“The only option left was for May to file for divorce and to sue Judy for damages for adultery. Even at that, she didn’t want to rush it. It took until after the death of her child and Yul’s subsequent behaviors for her to file for divorce.
As I have stated earlier, once May discovered the relationship between Yul and Judy, May refused to allow Yul access to her, and she ended all intimacy with him. She refused to allow him to have any form of intimacy with her.’’
According to May’s legal representatives, the misinformation stems from a blogger allegedly under the influence of Judy, who was said to have happened to be her relative and close family friend then.
May’s legal team emphasized that the focus of the case is on divorce grounds of adultery and the damages to be claimed from the alleged adulterous partner, Judy.
Yul and Judy have reportedly denied any marital connection, asserting that their relationship was confined to skit making, It Was All About Creating Skit, Driving Traffic, and making money, they both claim that May disputes. But May insists they have done wrong, there are married traditionally with tow kids now
That is conclusive evidence of adultery, which has now become the basis of May’s petition. The law does not require a person to prove what the other party has admitted or conceded,’’ her lawyers said. Sign up for Africa Choice here and stay on for more incentives
