Nollywood actress, Rita Edochie has taken to her social media page to defend her brother-in-law, Pete Edochie against the attacks he has been receiving over his son, Yul Edochie’s marital drama.
Rita, in a lengthy post on her Instagram page on Wednesday said that contrary to reports, Pete Edochie isn’t in support of his son’s marriage to Judy Austin.
The veteran actress further cleared the speculations of the actor appearing in one of Judy’s movies.
According to Rita, Pete Edochie, at the time of the making of the movie was oblivious to ownership and producer of the movie. She stated that when he learned that she was in charge of the production, he walked out of her set, refunded her money, and didn’t look back.
Rita also questioned why anyone would expect Pete, to be fighting Yul and Judy at his old age and why anyone would be dragging his wife, Josephine, because she isn’t speaking out publicly.
She made this know in a statement titled:
“STOP BLASTING MY GREAT HUSBAND / BROTHER-IN-LAW “CHIEF PETE EDOCHIE (EBUBEDIKE)
“It has been brought to my notice that alot of netizens have been dragging and blasting “Chief Pete Edochie” regrading this drama that one strange mistress has been putting up for over 2 years, saying he is in support of the whole actions as per accepting to be featured in her jobs.
“I tried to overlook it, not until i came across some false videos made by some of these hungry facebook blogs
“Now let me reiterate something, Chief Pete Edochie is not desperate for film roles, he is not obessed with the money he is paid to appear on screens, he is only a professional who was paid to feature in a movie. Unknown to him, the movie was produced by drama devil of which he was never aware of how negatively controversial the person he filmed for is when he realised what was happening he managed to finish the first movie and didnt do the second one he was paid to do.
“Mind you, he was paid for two jobs, so he had to make a refund of the secound one and left the snatcher’s set till today. Furthermore, he said he woke up one morning ad heard he picked a wife, how else do you want him to prove that he is not aware, why must he be dragged into this? He is 77 as at today, which means he was 75 two years ago when all this madness started, now tell me will your advanced father at home go to fight because his son doesn’t listen to him? I hear people say that his wife desn’t talk, do you live with her in the same house?
“To know if she talks or not? Do you know how far she has gone on this matter? Please my candid advice is that you drag the people in question who brought their personal life affairs to social media, leave chief Pete Edochie and his calm lovely wife Mrs Josephine Edochie alone. Everyone cannot be as hot as Rita Edochie nti rubber. Ogini nu.
“Oh ye content creators and bloggers of falsehood. I hope this message finds you well, do have a nice time great lovers of Rita Edochie.”
