Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has responded to allegations made by Mr. Obasi, the former husband of his wife Judy Austin, regarding access to Obasi’s two children. The claims surfaced during Mr. Obasi’s appearance on The Honest Bunch Podcast, where he accused Yul of taking Judy from him and blocking his visitation rights to their children for years. In a statement shared on X on June 19, 2026, Yul addressed the growing public scrutiny, emphasizing that he has never prevented anyone from seeing their children. He also questioned why he was being drawn into a matter he believes should be handled privately between Obasi and Judy.
Yul revealed that several fans had reached out to him, urging him to allow Obasi to reunite with his children. However, he maintained that the issue does not concern him and that Obasi already has Judy’s contact information. The actor stressed that if Obasi truly wants to reconnect with his children, he should communicate directly with Judy Austin. He further criticized the trend of using social media to gain attention and financial benefit by mentioning his name, rather than taking personal responsibility to resolve family matters.
The actor’s response has sparked widespread debate online. Some social media users supported his stance, urging Obasi to resolve the issue directly with Judy instead of turning it into a public spectacle. Others, however, criticized Yul for referring to Judy as Obasi’s ex-wife, suggesting that such language undermines the legitimacy of their marriage. Critics also accused both Yul and Judy of contributing to the ongoing family conflict, with some users questioning the morality of keeping the children away from their biological father.
Comments on Yul’s post reflect a divided public opinion. One user, @Asaawka, accused Judy of abandoning her children with Obasi and hiding them in Abuja while Obasi lives in Asaba. Another, @fojava47, recalled a podcast episode where Obasi detailed how Judy allegedly stole his property and left him, suggesting that Yul should be cautious about the situation. @Akaraonyechika criticized Yul for not standing by Judy during the controversy, while @Jolly baby questioned his courage in even referring to Judy as his wife.
The controversy continues to trend across Nigerian social media platforms, with fans and critics alike weighing in on the family dispute. As the debate unfolds, many are calling for a private resolution between the parties involved, while others demand greater transparency and accountability from all sides. The case highlights the complexities of modern family dynamics in the public eye, especially when celebrity relationships intersect with personal legal and emotional issues.
