Rita Edochie throws shade at Judy Austin

• Veteran actress Rita Edochie sparks speculation with a social media post questioning the audacity of a woman asking a legally married woman to drop her husband’s surname.
• While not explicitly named, netizens connect the dots, speculating that Rita’s post is directed at Judy Austin, given the complicated relationship with Yul Edochie, who is married to Judy Austin.
• Yul Edochie’s previous marriage to May Edochie, who still uses the Edochie surname, contributes to alleged discontent in Judy Austin’s current marriage.

Veteran actress Rita Edochie has once again taken to Instagram to share cryptic remarks that have left fans speculating about their intended target, widely believed to be Judy Austin.

Rita’s post, filled with questions and hidden accusations, questioned how someone, without mentioning Judy Austin directly, could ask a legally married woman to give up her husband’s surname.

The post alluded to a woman supposedly “picked from the street” having the right to bear the husband’s name, leaving followers to connect the dots.

The connection to Judy Austin is rooted in the complicated relationship with Yul Edochie. Yul, who is currently married to Judy Austin, was previously married to May Edochie.

Despite rumours of their split, May continues to use the Edochie surname, potentially contributing to Judy Austin’s alleged discontent.

Public reaction to Rita Edochie’s comments has been divided.

Some have urged the veteran actress to focus on her own life and refrain from commenting on the personal matters of others, while others interprete her remarks as a response to Judy Austin’s rumoured involvement in the breakup of Yul Edochie’s previous marriage.

She wrote;

“HMMMMM I REALLY DON’T GET IT 0000.

LEGITIMATELY MARRIED

WOMAN TO DROP THE HUSBAND’S SURNAME

WHILE YOU THAT IS PICKED FROM THE STREET HAS THE RIGHT TO ANSWER HIS NAME
