Nollywood’s never-ending marital saga just got messier as Judy Austin’s ex-husband, Obasi Emmanuel, stormed an Ebonyi State event held in honor of May Yul-Edochie and used the spotlight to throw heavy shade at “husband snatchers.”
Obasi, who was married to Judy Austin before their marriage crashed and she moved on to actor Yul Edochie, made a bold public appearance at the high-profile celebration of May’s rising influence. His presence alone was enough to set tongues wagging, given the long-standing scandal around Yul’s marriage to Judy and his broken relationship with May.
But it was his words that truly lit up social media. In a video from the event, Obasi didn’t hold back, declaring that the gathering was not for what he mockingly called a “Husband Snatchers Association.” The jab was obvious, and viewers immediately linked it to the ongoing drama involving Judy and Yul.
Speaking in a mix of English and Nigerian pidgin, Obasi bragged that they were “live in Ebonyi State to show the world how we dey run am,” insisting that the support for May was real and not staged. He went further, warning that “small-time preek warriors and husband snatchers” might later claim the video was AI-generated, making it clear that such people were not welcome anywhere near the event.
This is not the first time Obasi has publicly aligned himself with May. Since Yul’s marriage to Judy became public, he has repeatedly used his platforms to hail May’s calm and composure, helping to push a narrative that paints her as the dignified, wronged wife while Judy is cast as the alleged home-breaker.
The Ebonyi outing has now turned into yet another episode in the ongoing celebrity marriage drama, with May positioned as the woman many Nigerians are rallying behind and Judy once again dragged into the spotlight as the supposed villain. Obasi’s latest comments have only intensified the noise, fueling fresh debates about infidelity, loyalty, and morality in the chaotic world of Nollywood relationships.
