“I Do Not Promote Divorce”- May Yul Edochie Responds To Criticism From Men

Actress May Yul Edochie has addressed the criticism she faced from men after she filed for divorce from her ex-husband Yul Edochie in 2023.

In a recent interview with actor and comedian AY Makun on his Glasshouse podcast, she aimed to clear up a common misunderstanding about her.

“Some men see me as someone who is misleading their wives,” she stated to clear the air.

She shared her views on family, highlighting that she greatly values marriage as a key element of family life.

“I love family and I love marriage, but there is this misconception about marriage that is totally different, but ideally marriage is the basis of family. Without family, there would be no you or me; that’s how it used to be,” May explained.

Watch the here:

The actress debunked the claims, saying, “I am not in any way advocating divorce or separation in any way, not at all. Let me categorically state it here that I am not an advocate for divorce.”

This follows a year after she initiated divorce proceedings against her ex-husband Yul Edochie, who took a second wife. She filed for divorce on the basis of adultery, referencing the 1970 Marriage Act, which does not allow multiple spouses. She is claiming ₦100 million in damages from Yul and his new wife, Judy Austin.

She also reportedly requested a court order to keep Yul away from their old home. This was due to worries about her safety, as she described Yul’s actions as ‘erratic, irrational, aggressive, and increasingly threatening.’ She emphasized that this was to ensure safety for herself and her children.

During her divorce and afterward, May received a lot of criticism from both men and some women who said she was promoting divorce.
