Popular Nollywood actress Yvonne Jegede has clarified her recent endorsement of Yul Edochie’s second marriage to Judy Austin.
The mother of one emphasized that her intention was not to diminish the pain experienced by his first wife, May Edochie.
Despite her statement on ‘The Honest Bunch’ podcast supporting Edochie’s marriage, Jegede faced criticism for allegedly trivializing May’s suffering.
In response, the role interpreter, however, explained via Instagram that her words did not accurately reflect her true intentions.
“Upon reflecting on the interview, I realize that my words were not articulated in a way that conveyed my true intentions and have been misconstrued as insensitive, particularly towards Mrs May Edochie, a woman who has endured significant pain and hardship occasioned by estranged marriage.
“I deeply regret that my comments were perceived as adding to her distress. It was never my intention to cause any pain or disrespect. I am truly sorry,” the statement said.
