Florence Mbeng described Judy walking confidently to her waiting car, which she said was staffed by a driver and undercover security personnel.

She alleged that those from the opposing camp only began making noise and exchanging words in a group after Judy had already driven away.

"Nobody can face Judith face-to-face. It's noise that you people are making," Florence said in the video.

She also pushed back against critics who questioned Judy Austin's modest court outfit, insisting the actress dresses by her own standards and that her husband, Yul Edochie, appreciates her style.

Florence dismissed remarks about Yul's absence at the first court date, pointing out that Judy is the complainant and it is the accused parties who have reason to be anxious.

Florence warns critics and takes aim at Rita Edochie

On the subject of Rita Edochie, whom she addressed as "Mama Rita" throughout the video, Florence argued that in a marriage, a man's wife holds a closer place in his life than his extended family.

She urged in-laws to stay out of their sons' marriages.

"Mama Rita was insane to be fighting her son's wife because you cannot have a child with your son," Florence said.

She wrapped up with a sharp warning directed at anyone who might consider physically confronting Judy, insisting that undercover security is always present and that any attacker would find themselves facing consequences not in Nigeria but in Amsterdam.

"You people will not be locked up in Nigeria. You people will be locked in Amsterdam," she concluded.
