The estranged wife of Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie, May’s lawyer, Mr Ugwuonye has shared details where he claimed he was never married to Judy, and that they were only acting skits.

Recall that Mr Ugwuonye had sent a petition to Yul for divorce on behalf of his client on grounds that Yul chose a second wife and was no longer interested in their union.

However, Yul refuted the allegations of a traditional marriage between himself and Judy, claiming they were only Skitmakers.

According to Ugwuonye, initially, May wanted to take Yul to court for bigamy, which is marrying another wife without her knowledge, a crime he can jailed for the offence.

However, she opted for a divorce and also sued Judy on the grounds of adultery.

Yul in his defense further claimed his alleged marriage to Judy was all lies by the blog Gistlover, to ruin him for social media traffic and financial gains.

May’s lawyer noted that the skit-making between the two has led to the birth of two children and they are currently expecting a third.
