You unfollowed your own daughter because of Judy Austin – Yul Edochie faces backlash as he breaks silence

• Yul Edochie once again invited an avalanche of backlash after eagle-eyed fans noticed he had cut ties with his daughter, Danielle, on IG.
• The move, which many deemed shocking and uncalled for, comes after Danielle had previously unfollowed him, erased traces of his name from her social media bio, and distanced herself from the ongoing controversies surrounding her father.
• While Danielle’s actions were seen as a clear sign of disapproval or emotional self-preservation, Yul’s decision to reciprocate was widely criticized, with many accusing him of failing to rise above the drama and act as the parent in the situation.

In yet another dramatic and increasingly heartbreaking chapter of the ever-evolving Edochie family saga, Yul Edochie, once celebrated as a Nollywood icon and family man, now finds himself mired in a storm of public outrage.

The controversy, which has surrounded the actor since his marriage to his junior colleague Judy Austin, has shown no signs of abating.

Instead, it has reportedly deepened, with the ripple effects now tearing through his relationship with his first wife, May Edochie, and their three surviving children.

The latest development in this ongoing drama came in the early hours of January 25, when eagle-eyed social media observers, confirmed by WITHIN NIGERIA, noted that Yul had unfollowed his first child and only daughter, Danielle, on Instagram.

However, his words did little to quell the outrage, as his followers flooded the comment section with sharp criticisms.

Many followers flooded the comment section, accusing him of failing in his responsibilities as a father and prioritizing his pride over his family’s unity.

Critics argued that his decision to unfollow Danielle, instead of addressing his underlying issues with her, reflected a pattern of actions that alienated rather than healed his relationships.
