The legal representative of May Edochie, Emeka Ugwuonye, has provided insight into why May Edochie was unaware of her husband Yul Edochie’s six-year extramarital affair with Judy Austin.
According to Ugwuonye, May’s trust in Yul and her confidence in their marriage were key factors that prevented her from suspecting Yul’s infidelity. The couple’s relationship began as a childhood friendship, which eventually blossomed into romance and led to their marriage.
Ugwuonye explained that May saw Judy as a colleague of Yul’s, rather than a potential threat to their marriage. This perception, combined with May’s trusting nature and lack of insecurity, made it difficult for her to suspect Yul’s affair.
In a statement, Ugwuonye said: “ONE IMPORTANT QUESTION PEOPLE CONTINUE TO ASK ABOUT QUEEN MAY AND YUL EDOCHIE CASE: THIS IS THE EXPLANATION YOU NEED.

“First and foremost, May trusted Yul. She did not suspect that he would betray their marriage. They started as family friends, as childhood friends, and they grew together. He was her first and only boyfriend before they got married. She was his first girlfriend before they got married. If there was ever a marriage made in heaven, it would be theirs.
“Second, though a quiet and calm person, May is confident and sure of herself. She did not have a problem of insecurity. She was raised in a family of love and trust. She is not the kind of person who fears that another woman is more attractive than she or worry that another woman would take her husband away from her.
“Third, she understood early in their marriage that her husband was a movie actor and would naturally work with people of the opposite sex. So, she saw the women around Yul, including Judy, only as his colleagues. The above factors, as you can see, are psychological factors. May’s psychological profile did not easily ….”
