Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has addressed allegations made by Emmanuel Obasi, the former husband of his wife, Judy Austin, denying claims that he prevented Obasi from having access to his children.
The actor broke his silence on the matter through a statement shared on his social media page, following renewed public discussions surrounding the ongoing dispute.
Yul Rejects Claims of Interference
Reacting to comments from some social media users, Yul stated that he has never stopped anyone from seeing their children and has no involvement in decisions regarding visitation arrangements between Judy Austin and her former husband.
According to the actor, any discussions concerning the children should be handled directly between Obasi and Austin.
"I have never stopped anybody from seeing their children," Yul stated, adding that the issue has nothing to do with him.
He further suggested that individuals should focus on resolving personal matters through proper channels rather than using social media to gain attention.
Emmanuel Obasi's Allegations
The controversy resurfaced after Emmanuel Obasi made several allegations in interviews and online videos.
Among his claims, Obasi alleged that Yul Edochie had a relationship with Judy Austin before the end of their marriage and that he had been denied access to the children he shares with her.
The allegations generated widespread reactions across social media platforms, with many users weighing in on the dispute.
Judy Austin Also Denies Restricting Access
Judy Austin has also publicly denied preventing her former husband from seeing their children.
In a video shared on her social media account, the actress maintained that she had never restricted access to the children and claimed that Obasi stopped making efforts to maintain communication with them years ago.
According to her, she had previously encouraged her children to speak with their biological father despite their reluctance at the time.
Austin further stated that she had suggested pursuing legal channels to formalize visitation arrangements if necessary.
Claims of a Smear Campaign
The actress also alleged that certain individuals were sponsoring efforts aimed at damaging both her reputation and that of Yul Edochie.
She claimed that Obasi's public interviews and statements were part of a broader campaign to tarnish their image.
However, these allegations remain matters of public dispute between the parties involved.
Yul and Judy's Relationship
Yul Edochie publicly introduced Judy Austin as his second wife in 2022, a development that sparked significant reactions across Nigeria's entertainment industry and social media.
The announcement came amid marital challenges involving his estranged wife, May Edochie, and quickly became one of the most talked-about celebrity stories in the country.
Before their relationship became public, Judy Austin had worked closely with Yul on several movie projects, including productions in which both actors played leading roles.
Public Interest Continues
The ongoing disagreement between Judy Austin, Emmanuel Obasi, and Yul Edochie continues to attract public attention due to the personalities involved and the sensitive nature of the allegations.
As discussions continue online, many observers have called for the matter to be resolved privately or through appropriate legal channels, particularly where issues involving children are concerned.
For now, both Yul Edochie and Judy Austin maintain that they have not prevented Obasi from having access to his children.
