Rita Edochie Showers May Yul Edochie with Praise While Casting a Shadow Over Judy Austin’s Glow
Nollywood veteran Rita Edochie once again took to social media to celebrate her cousin-in-law, May Yul Edochie, and in doing so, subtly ignited fresh controversy involving Yul Edochie’s second wife, Judy Austin. In a dazzling video from May’s recent appearance at Funke Akindele’s Everybody Loves Jenifa premiere, Rita marveled at May’s enduring elegance, calling her a “glamorous queen” who defies age and motherhood.
In her effusive tribute, Rita noted that despite two decades of marriage and four children, May radiates youthful beauty that rivals that of an 18-year-old. The actress couldn’t resist a sly dig at Judy Austin, implying that, in contrast, some women appear older despite having fewer children. The insinuation was clear: grace and poise aren’t measured by circumstance but by character.
Rita described May as a “masterpiece” and “treasure,” claiming she was crafted by God with extraordinary care. The heartfelt praise highlighted May’s internal and external beauty, with Rita proudly stating that if she were a man, she’d “never trade gold for…”—leaving the comparison tantalizingly unfinished, but unmistakably pointed.
Her declaration of admiration resonated powerfully, leaving no doubt about where her loyalties lie. The video and message sparked a flurry of reactions online, with supporters praising Rita’s fierce devotion to May and the veiled critique aimed at Judy.
The drama continues to unfold, but one thing is certain: Rita’s words have set the internet abuzz with intrigue, admiration, and a hint of scandal.
