Rita Edochie has reacted to the lawsuit reportedly served on her by actress Judy Austin, making it clear that she has questions about the name used to address her in the legal document.
The veteran actress shared a photograph of the lawsuit online and drew attention to the name “Mrs Judith Yul Edochie,” saying she was unfamiliar with anyone bearing that name.
Rita, who has remained outspoken about the controversy surrounding Judy and actor Yul Edochie, said she only recognises May Edochie as “Mrs Yul Edochie.”
She further challenged Judy to produce her marriage certificate showing the exact name used in the lawsuit, saying she would respond to the matter after seeing the document.
Rita wrote:
“I RECEIVED A MESSAGE FROM ONE MRS JUDITH YUL EDOCHIE AND UP TILL NOW I AM STILL WONDERING AND UTTERLY CONFUSED ABOUT WHO THE BEARER OF THAT NAME IS BECAUSE I DON’T KNOW ANYONE BY THAT NAME.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, THE ONLY MRS YUL EDOCHIE THAT I KNOW IS QUEEN MAY YUL EDOCHIE. WANTING TO BE ADDRESSED BY THAT NAME IS VERY PROVOCATIVE RIGHT NOW WHICH I TAKE AS A TERRIBLE SLAP ON THE FACE OF THE EDOCHIES.
ANYWAY, SINCE YOU ARE INSISTENT ON BEING ADDRESSED THAT WAY, I WOULD LIKE YOU TO PRESENT YOUR MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE HIGHLIGHTING THE EXACT CONFORMATION OF THAT WEIRD NAME ‘MRS JUDITH YUL EDOCHIE’. ONLY THEN WILL I GIVE FURTHER RESPONSE TO THIS VERY MESSAGE.
DAALU KWANU GREAT LOVERS OF RITA EDOCHIE”
