‘If you had lost your life while undergoing breast enlargement surgery, which you didn’t tell your husband about, what would people have said? Yul has killed that innocent woman, abi?”

Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has revived his public dispute with his first wife, May Yul Edochie, over her 2023 reflection post.

On 1 January, May, recollecting the highlights of the past year, said 2023 stole her flesh and blood, leaving her in the most devastating, miserable and confused state.

May was referring to her 16-year-old first son, Kambolichikwu, who slumped and died while playing football in school in May 2023.

Reacting to his first wife’s post, Yul said if her reflections were accurate, she would not have undergone cosmetic plastic surgery with the encouragement of her current boyfriend. It is unclear if May and Yul are officially divorced since he married his frequent on-screen lover, Judy Austin, in May 2023.

He claimed that May had previously informed him she was unwell but unaware of her surgery plans.

The controversial actor expressed dissatisfaction with her ex-wife’s decision, questioning the influence of her new relationship on her choices.

In a post on his social media, the actor urged his ex-wife to stop using social media to manipulate people, fan the flames of hatred against him, and win sympathy while secretly living a happy life.

The 41-year-old emphasised that the manipulation has reached its limit, highlighting that people are unaware of his ex-wife’s true colours.

Yul stated that he would no longer tolerate May’s attention-seeking behaviour on social media, mentioning that he had remained silent to safeguard her image while she was actively tarnishing his own.

Parts of the statement read: “God forbid, If you had lost your life while undergoing breast enlargement surgery, which you didn’t tell your husband about, What would people have said? Yul has killed that innocent woman, abi? Everybody will be insulting me. Who signed the consent paper? I was out of town then, working.

“I was saying sorry, and I didn’t even know what was happening till much later. And you still came out on social media in your calm voice, telling people you had been sick and recovering. And they were pitying you and insulting me. Why didn’t you tell them the truth that you went for breast enlargement surgery? Enough of the manipulation. You have done enough.”
