Nollywood actress Judy Austin has sparked controversy with her recent marital advice. She urged women to be intentional with their partners for a happy marriage, warning that many prefer to play the victim rather than actively nurture their relationships. Judy, who is married to Yul Edochie, identified social media as a major contributor to marital issues, often unnoticed by couples themselves.

She further claimed that many people sabotage their own marriages, yet blame external forces instead. “Satan doesn’t need to destroy your marriage. You’re doing it for him all by yourself. The only challenge is that you blame Satan instead of yourself. I’ll explain further on TikTok live in a few minutes,” she said.

The remarks drew strong reactions from social media users. Comments ranged from criticism to disbelief:

One user wrote, “Coming from a professional polygamist.”

Another asked, “Which day did you become a marriage counsellor?”

Some fans expressed frustration and disappointment, questioning her motives and advice.

Judy has previously shared her views on love and marriage. During the public fallout of 2Baba and Annie’s marriage, she emphasized the importance of praying for true love as much as one prays for financial success. She stressed that a life with God, love, and money is “Heaven on Earth.”

In a separate post, she advised women to protect, cherish, and reciprocate genuine love, encouraging them not to settle for loneliness because of people who do not value them. She has also previously cautioned young women against peer pressure and self-destructive behavior.

Judy Austin’s personal history has often fueled public scrutiny. Her affair with Yul Edochie contributed to the collapse of his marriage with May Edochie, mother of his four children. May reportedly filed for divorce, demanded N100 million from Judy, secured a restraining order, and gained full custody of the children.

Reacting to Judy’s recent statements, Rita Edochie, Yul’s aunt, commented on the audacity of a woman who allegedly interfered in another woman’s marriage while speaking publicly about love and relationships.
