Marriage ended in 2013, Yul came later — Judy Austin sets the record straight.

Nollywood actress Judy Austin has responded to allegations made by her former husband, Emmanuel Obasi, regarding her relationship with actor Yul Edochie.

Obasi had recently claimed during a podcast interview that Judy Austin developed an interest in Yul Edochie while they were still married. The allegation quickly gained traction online and sparked widespread reactions from the public.
In a video statement addressing the claims, Judy firmly denied ever having any relationship or connection with Yul Edochie during her previous marriage. She described the allegation as completely false.
According to her, her marriage ended in March 2013, and she did not meet Yul Edochie until several years after the union had already been dissolved.
Responding to the question of whether she met Yul while still married, Judy said the claim was “the fattest lie ever told” about her on social media.
She explained that her previous marriage ended in March 2013 and stressed that she saw Yul Edochie for the first time years after the marriage had completely ended. She maintained that anyone claiming otherwise was simply not telling the truth.
Judy further emphasized that she stands firmly by her account, insisting she never met the actor while she was still married. She declared that she was willing to face any consequences if her statement proved false but maintained that all accusations against her were unfounded.
The actress also stated that if she had indeed met Yul Edochie while still in her former marriage, then all the insults and curses directed at her should multiply. However, she insisted that if she only met him years after the marriage ended, then those accusations should return to those making them.
The exchange has continued to fuel discussions online, drawing renewed attention to Obasi’s allegations and the broader public debate surrounding the matter.
In a post shared online, Judy reiterated her position, stating that she had nothing to do with Yul Edochie during her previous marriage, which ended in 2013, and that she met the actor many years later.
