Yvonne’s comments were perceived as insensitive and dismissive of May Edochie’s struggles in her marriage, angering many social media users.
Although Yvonne later apologized for her words, stating that she didn’t articulate her thoughts properly, her apology did not appease May Edochie’s fans, who expressed their dissatisfaction by giving her movie a poor review on Prime Video.
Screenshots show that the movie’s rating drastically dropped from 5.2 to 2.9 within 24 hours, with fans determined to give it the lowest possible rating.
One fan, @judy_obasiyul_autism, even boasted about the successful effort to bring down the movie’s rating.
The situation has also drawn reactions from other Nollywood personalities. Veteran actress Rita Edochie, who has consistently opposed Yul’s marriage to Judy, expressed her disappointment in Yvonne’s remarks, questioning whether Yvonne would have defended Yul the same way if May were her sister.
Media personality Nedu also refuted Yvonne’s claims that he harbors a dislike for women, stating that he has three daughters and a female manager, and that the majority of the people in his life are women.
