Rita Edochie Shares How Pete Edochie Refused to Be a Part of Judy Austin’s Movie After He Was Paid

• Nollywood actress Rita Edochie made the public understand Pete Edochie's stance in the ongoing drama in his son, Yul Edochie's household
• Rita revealed in a lengthy post that, contrary to popular belief, Pete Edochie disapproves of Yul's marriage to Judy Austin
• She added that the legendary actor, who appeared in one of Judy's films, was unaware that she was the film's producer and went on to correct his mistake immediately

Nigerian ace actress Rita Edochie has clarified the type of relationship between her brother-in-law, Pete Edochie, and his daughter-in-law, Judy Austin.

Recall that the respected family has been making headlines since the veteran actor's son, Yul Edochie, brought in a second woman into his marriage with May.

Sometime last year, Pete Edochie was reported to have starred in a movie produced by Judy Austin, which didn't sit well with many of his fans.

Rita Edochie, in her recent update, pointed out that Pete has been the target of many online trolls who believe he was biased because of his appearance in the said movie.

Concerning this, she explained that the industry elder wasn't initially aware that the movie he was being featured in belonged to his son's new wife. And when Pete learned that the project was Judy's, he opted out.

By then, he had already done the first part of the movie, so he refused to join in on the second part, which he had earlier been paid for and refunded the money.

Rita also went on to ask the public to respect the privacy of Pete Edochie's wife, Mrs Josephine. She confirmed that Yul's mum has been actively involved in Yul's marriage drama and noted that everyone in their family must not be as publicly outspoken as she is.
