Yvonne Jegede's Apology: Clarifying Remarks on Polygamy and Empathy


 Actress Yvonne Jegede Issues Public Apology to May Yul-Edochie Over Polygamy Comments

Actress Yvonne Jegede recently extended a public apology to May Yul-Edochie, the estranged wife of actor Yul Edochie, for her recent remarks regarding Yul's potential venture into polygamy.

During a podcast discussion, Jegede expressed her perspective that there was nothing inherently wrong with Yul considering a second marriage. She urged individuals criticizing Yul to refrain from judgment, highlighting that many come from families with multiple wives.

However, her comments received backlash, with social media users interpreting them as insensitive towards May, who has experienced significant challenges since her separation from Yul.

In her statement, Jegede clarified that her words were not intended to cause harm or disrespect, particularly to May, who she acknowledged has faced hardships due to her estranged marriage.

Jegede emphasized that her remarks about polygamy aimed to highlight its cultural context and the importance of how it is approached. She clarified that her intention was not to trivialize the pain of individuals like May but rather to emphasize the need for addressing marital challenges constructively.

She expressed regret that her message may not have been effectively conveyed and apologized to anyone who was hurt by her words, reaffirming her belief in everyone's deserving of love and care, especially women.
