As the premiere unfolded, congratulatory messages poured in from Omoni’s friends, colleagues, and admirers, creating a warm atmosphere of celebration.

Among the many voices of support was Judy Austin, who attempted to join the congratulatory train. However, her comment quickly backfired, drawing the ire of social media users who wasted no time in reminding her of the complicated dynamics surrounding her relationship with Yul Edochie and his ex-wife, May.

Critics lambasted Judy, insisting she had no right to comment on anything related to May Edochie, given the history of their intertwined lives. The backlash was immediate and fierce, as her words became a catalyst for a torrent of negative responses that flooded Omoni’s Instagram page.
