Actor Jerry Amilo responds to claims of shading May Edochie in his recent comments about infidelity

• GistLover reported on Nigerian actor’s controversial post on women leaving marriages due to cheating, which stirred the internet.

• Jerry’s viral video highlighted a Nigerian woman who, after 18 years of infidelity, left her 18-year-old husband and engaged in extramarital affairs with married men.

Jerry Amilo, a seasoned figure in Nollywood, has taken to social media to firmly dispel rumors and assumptions regarding his recent provocative statements on infidelity.

Previously, GistLover reported on how the Nigerian actor ignited discussions online with a contentious post aimed at women who exit their marriages due to cheating.

In his widely circulated video, Jerry specifically addressed a Nigerian woman who, after leaving her husband of 18 years because of infidelity, subsequently engaged in extramarital relationships with married men.

The actor’s comments ignited considerable debate online, with many speculating that his remarks were directed at May Edochie. May, a mother of three, notably separated from her husband, actor Yul Edochie, following his affair with actress Judy Austin during their nearly two-decade marriage.

However, in a passionate new video, Jerry Amilo has refuted any association between his comments and the Edochies, criticizing fans and social media users for their tendency to fabricate drama where none exists.

The actor condemned what he termed a toxic culture of linking general observations to specific individuals, accusing fans of intentionally inciting discord and division among celebrities for their own amusement.

Jerry Amilo further called for self-reflection and accountability, urging fans to refrain from sensationalizing matters that are intended to provoke contemplation rather than drama. He reiterated his earlier position, asserting that infidelity should not automatically lead to the end of a marriage. He contended that women who leave their homes due to infidelity often find themselves in worse situations, making choices they may later come to regret.
