The veteran Nollywood actor, Pete Edochie has banished Judy Austin, the second wife of his son, Yul, from Edochie's dynasty.
This is coming on the heels of the controversy surrounding Actor Yul's marriage to Actress Judy Austin, just as the duo welcomed their baby boy.
Yul had tweeted on Wednesday saying, “It’s time for the world to meet my son."
"His name is STAR DIKE MUNACHIMSO YUL-EDOCHIE. Born by my second wife @judyaustin1. And I love him so much, just as much as I love my other children,” he said.
Angered by the development, Pete Edochie, who is Yul's father lamented that as an Igbo man, that he never supported his son's actions.
He said that as a statesman, he only recognised, May, the first wife of Yul as the only authentic wife, adding that marrying two wives does not confer a manly status on anyone.
His statement reads, “I want the whole world and Nigerians to understand that as an Igbo man, I never support my son’s actions and as a statesman, I only recognize his first wife, May as the only authenticated wife of my son, the rest is banished from entering my household” noting that marrying two wives does not confer a manly status on anyone.
“Right from when Yul was still a child, he never listened to me. “I’m not shocked that he has a son without my knowledge. A child that doesn’t listen to his father ends up cutting his or her life span short.”
Yul, the last child of Pete Edochie, married his first wife at the young age of 22 .
He followed in his father’s footsteps and made his debut in the movie industry a year after his marriage.
In their 17 years of marriage, Yul and May are blessed with four children: Danielle, Kambi, Karl, and Victory Edochie.
