Hours later, Rita Edochie questioned why Judy would speak against actions she herself had been involved in, pointing out contradictions in her message.
Rita’s reaction came through a lengthy Instagram post where she reminded Judy of her relationship with her nephew, Yul Edochie.
She pointed out that Judy Austin became pregnant for Yul while he was still married to May Edochie. She asked how someone with such a history could now warn others against marrying because of pregnancy.

The actress emphasised that advice should come from a place of truth and not from the same mistakes one is guilty of.
She noted that Judy’s attempt to present herself as a role model online was misleading, insisting that her history was too public to be ignored.
Rita Edochie further stated that people who have lived by questionable values should not be the ones guiding young women, adding that Judy’s advice sounded more like self-judgement than genuine wisdom.
In her post, Rita emphasised that Judy was unfit to counsel others on marriage matters and accused her of chasing relevance by stirring conversations online.
"When you see an advice that contradicts your person simply shut up 🤫 and rest at one corner, some people are very incompetent and ineligible for the kind of advice they dish out solu okwu onu m mana eso na omume m, impossible !!!! If you must preach it... then you must be a perfect example. Rita Edochie."
She concluded by urging people like Judy Austin to stop deceiving the public with advice that contradicts their own actions, stating that a broken vessel cannot teach others how to remain whole.
