According to her, a daughter or sister-in-law must be accepted by every member of the family, not just the husband alone. On that basis, she made clear that Judy has never had her blessing and never will.
Rita Edochie Stands With Yul's First Wife
The actress drew a sharp line between respecting Yul's choices and approving of them, stressing that love does not require anyone to abandon their conscience. In her words:
"Respecting someone does not mean I must approve of every decision they make. Love does not require me to abandon my conscience or pretend that wrong is right."
She went further, describing Judy as someone who "came in through the window to possess another person's possession," adding that Yul's first wife May Yul-Edochie had laid a foundation Judy "knew nothing about."
Rita was unambiguous about where she stands on the family divide, writing:
"My original sister-in-law, in her words, will not be numbered. I stand and re-stand with her, and so shall it be."
