In a lengthy statement shared on her Instagram page, Rita questioned Judy's description of the marriage she currently shares with Yul Edochie as "her home."
The actress argued that Judy's relationship with Yul had remained controversial because of the circumstances surrounding its beginning.
According to Rita, it was ironic for Judy to accuse others of trying to destroy a home when she had repeatedly been accused by critics of contributing to the collapse of Yul's marriage to his first wife, May Edochie.
She stated:
"Did I hear they paid Mr Obasi to scatter her home? Please, which home exactly? The one that was coveted? The stolen home?"
The actress continued by describing May's former marriage as a peaceful family that had been disrupted.
Rita also came to the defence of Mr Obasi, who recently granted an interview discussing his relationship with Judy Austin.
According to the actress, many people have unfairly criticised him for speaking publicly about his experiences.
She questioned why some social media users were demanding apologies from him while, in her view, ignoring the emotional pain he claims to have endured.
The veteran actress maintained that people often find it easy to dismiss another person's suffering when they are not personally affected by the situation.
Beyond the dispute itself, Rita expressed concern about what she described as society's selective approach to justice and fairness.
She accused some supporters of Judy of ignoring facts and defending actions they would ordinarily condemn if the circumstances were different.
According to her, many people now choose sides based on personal interests rather than principles.
The actress stated that some individuals only support justice when it benefits them and remain silent when confronted with uncomfortable truths.
