Mary Edochie, popularly known as May Edochie, the first wife
of the famous Nollywood actor and director, Yul Edochie has taken legal action
against actress Sarah Chukwukere for sharing a photoshopped picture of actress
Judy Austin in her family photo.
Sharing the suit file on her Instagram page on Saturday, May
noted that she had directed her lawyers to file a suit against Sarah
Chukwukere, with the username @officialsarahmartins, for sharing an edited
image of her and her children.
She wrote: “It is demeaning and inconsiderate to smear
anyone, especially someone you barely knew. I’ve always had a loving, joyful,
and peaceful family. I worked tirelessly for years, building a beautiful home
while managing several businesses successfully.
“It is evident that some persons have deliberately and
desperately tried to taint my reputation and “change the narrative” to suit
their agenda. To me, this is unacceptable.”
Warning others who may dare to do the same, she noted that
her lawyer would be extremely cheerful to dine with anyone who does not cease
from defamatory publications or character assassination.
The lawsuit, shared by May, demanded a public apology and a
retraction of the said defamatory publication as she threatened to sue for N500
million in damages if Sarah failed to meet the demands stated.
Recall that May, during the 2022 Christmas celebration, took
to her Instagram to share photos with their four children while wishing her
fans a merry Christmas.
Hours later, Sarah Chukwukere photoshopped Yul, his second
wife Judy Austin and their baby boy inside the photo posted by May.
Reacting to this, Yul wrote: “Yes, oo Sarah. Beautiful
family. As it should be. Blessed man with blessed family. Everybody will be
living in peace, love and jolly. May Zukwanuike.”
Also, the actor had earlier boasted that he’s “proud to be a
polygamist.”
However, in her response, May said she would not be cajoled
into accepting polygamy.
