In a surprising move, Yvonne Jegede has apologized to May Edochie, the estranged wife of actor Yul Edochie, for her controversial comments on polygamy during a recent appearance on the Honest Bunch Podcast.
Jegede faced intense backlash for seemingly supporting Yul Edochie’s decision to take a second wife.
In a heartfelt statement, Jegede expressed deep regret for any pain or distress caused to May Edochie and her family.
She clarified that her intention was to spark a conversation about societal issues in her latest film, not to condone or promote polygamy.
“I deeply regret that my comments were perceived as adding to Mrs. May Edochie’s distress. It was never my intention to cause any pain or disrespect. I am truly sorry,” Jegede said.
The apology has received mixed reactions, with some praising Jegede for taking responsibility for her words and others questioning the sincerity of her apology.
