ADULTERY: OBASI, JUDY AUSTIN’S EX-HUSBAND CLAIMS YUL EDOCHIE HAD AN AFFAIR WITH JUDY WHILE SHE WAS STILL HIS WIFE
Emmanuel Obasi, the former husband of actress, Judy Austin, has alleged that controversial Nollywood, Yul Edochie, was having affair with Judy while she was still legally married to him.
Earlier in the week, Obasi had publicly lamented that he did not have access to the children he had with Judy, alleging that she was involved in an affair with Edochie while still married to him.
He said, “She was still under my umbrella when she started moving with Yul. She is now making my life difficult. She told me she would frustrate me with those children because she knows I love them. Imagine a father like me with children who are aged 16 and 14 respectively, and I don’t have access to them. I have not seen those children in 10 years; how will I cope?
“Every time I think of it, it disrupts my mindset. It is unbearable. She isn’t with them; neither am I. Their upbringing greatly matters to me, so I need to see them.”
Obasi, made the allegation after Emeka Ugwuonye, one of the lawyers of May Edochie in her divorce case against Yul Edochie, accepted to help him to recover his children, through legal action.
Emmanuel Obasi had accused Judy Austin and Yul Edochie of having an extramarital affair while they were still married to him and May Edochie, respectively. He also claimed that Judy denied him access to their two children for over a decade.
In a recent meeting, Ugwuonye agreed to take on Obasi’s case, promising to fight for his right to see his children.Ugwuonye described Obasi’s situation as a simple desire to be reunited with his biological children, which has been allegedly denied by Yul and Judy.With Ugwuonye’s support, Obasi is preparing for a legal battle to achieve this goal.
Responding to Obasi’s claims, Judy said, “That is the fattest lie ever told about me on social media. My previous marriage ended in March 2013, and I met Yul Edochie for the first time years after my marriage had ended.”
Supporting his wife, Yul, took to Instagram to express solidarity, writing, “Our progress and happiness is hurting many people and giving them sleepless nights. That is why they keep making all sorts of lies against us. They will talk until they are tired.”
