Recall that Yvonne Jegede’s comments on Yul Edochie’s marital saga during The Honest Bunch podcast sparked outrage, especially among supporters of Yul’s first wife.
Jegede compared public support for Regina Daniels’ husband, Ned Nwoko, to the backlash against Yul Edochie for taking a second wife. She further stated that she saw nothing wrong with Yul Edochie marrying a 2nd wife.
Following the controversy, Jegede apologized to her fans and May Edochie.
Nedu, however, disapproved of her apology, shading her for not standing by her words. Jegede responded by revealing that Nedu had frequently messaged her, expressing admiration and asking to hang out.
She further made some unpleasant comments about Nedu, describing him as toxic.
In reaction, Nedu issued a press statement stating that Yvonne’s appearance on the podcast was to promote her movie.
He clarified that she was not coerced into making any statements during the podcast and emphasized that the producers are not responsible for her opinions.
The statement reads:
“It has come to our attention that a recent guest on The Honest Bunch podcast, Yvonne Jegede, has resorted to publishing insulting and defamatory material on social media, following what appears to be public outcry against personal thoughts and positions shared by said guest on the show.
We would like to make it clear that Yvonne Jegede was not pressured to make any statements on the podcast, and that neither Nedu nor the producers of The Honest Bunch, nor Glitch Africa Studio, takes any responsibility for personal thoughts and positions shared by Yvonne Jegede.
We would also like to state clearly that Yvonne Jegede appeared on The Honest Bunch as part of her publicity drive for her upcoming movie. While this was a paid-appearance, it does not in any way afford Yvonne Jegede the right to defame or slander Nedu or the producers of The Honest Bunch.
We strongly advise Yvonne Jegede in good faith to desist from further aggravation, personal attacks, name-calling and vituperation.
