Former fiancée of Nollywood actor Linc Edochie, Yinka Theisen, has stirred fresh controversy within the Edochie family after alleging that May Edochie, the estranged wife of actor Yul Edochie, was aware of her husband’s relationship with actress Judy Austin long before it became public.
In a series of lengthy social media posts, Theisen claimed that May not only knew about Yul’s affair but also asked him to take care of Judy’s child on the condition that he should not marry her.
According to Yinka, the online narrative that May only found out about Yul’s second marriage through social media is “a lie that has been told for years.” She alleged that May issued Yul an ultimatum that eventually led him to “honor Judy” and marry her officially.
Before your queen came on social media to say ‘God punish you,’ she gave Ezedike [Yul] an ultimatum,” Yinka wrote. “She requested that he take care of Judy’s child and not marry her. Ezedike decided to honor Judy and refused to abandon her.”
Yinka further claimed that May “cried like a baby” when she once mentioned that she (May) is three years older than Yul, suggesting that May still struggles to accept the reality of Yul’s new marriage.
Theisen also alleged that Judy Austin’s bride price has been paid, asserting that the marriage between Yul and Judy is legitimate, contrary to claims by May’s supporters that Judy remains just a “mistress.”
You can continue to lie to feel better, but that is the truth,” she wrote. “Allow Judy to rest. Allow Ezedike to enjoy his marriage. It was destiny that brought them together.”
In addition, Yinka accused May’s supporters of spreading falsehoods and unfairly vilifying Yul for years, claiming that the online trolling and public condemnation he faced “could very well have ended his life.”
The former fiancée of Linc Edochie, who described herself as having “no more ties with the Edochies,” said she intends to write a book to “set the record straight” about the family drama that has dominated Nigerian entertainment headlines for years.
She also alleged that spiritual battles were fought against Judy during her pregnancies, claiming that “shrines were consulted across Igbo land” to prevent her from giving birth.
When Judy was dancing and praising God, it was not to mock your queen,” she wrote. “It was because she almost died… Thank God Judy lived.”
