Rita Edochie has taken to her Instagram page to address the negativity and public misconception over her brother-in-law, Pete Edochie, being unfairly criticized by netizens for supporting, Judy Austin Yul-Edochie, after appearing in her film projects. The Nollywood actress stated clearly that he is a professional actor, not desperate for roles or money, and was simply paid to feature in a movie. The thespian made it clear that Pete was unaware of the negative controversy surrounding Judy but people were still dragging him on social media despite not choosing to participate in the second movie once he realized the situation.
According to Rita, after Pete Edochie had completed the first movie, he refunded the payment for the second job he was contracted for but did not complete.
If you recall, there have been rumours of Edochie being the one responsible for choosing a second wife for his son Yul which the legendary Nollywood star has since denied.
Rita Edochie ended by calling on the public to focus on the individuals directly involved in the personal drama and to respect the privacy of Chief Pete Edochie and his wife, Mrs. Josephine Edochie. Sharing a photo of her brother-in-law whom she also referred to as her “Great Husband”, she wrote:
“STOP BLASTING MY GREAT HUSBAND / BROTHER-IN-LAW “CHIEF PETE EDOCHIE (EBUBEDIKE)IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY NOTICE THAT A LOT OF NETIZENS HAVE BEEN DRAGGING AND BLASTING “CHIEF PETE EDOCHIE ” REGARDING 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 OBSESSED 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 MANNAGED 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 SECOND ONE AND LEFT THE SNATCHER’S SET TILL TODAY. FURTHERMORE, HE SAID HE WOKE UP ONE MORNING AND 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 2 YEARS AGO WHEN ALL THESE 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 DOESN’T TALK, DO YOU LIVE WITH HER IN 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 .”
