Nollywood actress Uche Ogbodo recently disclosed her reason for blocking May Edochie, the estranged wife of fellow actor Yul Edochie, on social media. The revelation came as Ogbodo responded to trolling and negative comments from May’s fans, following an unfortunate robbery incident at her boutique store.
Ogbodo had previously expressed her distress over the alleged robbery attack on her store, hoping for support from her followers. However, rather than sympathy, she faced backlash, with fans of May Edochie accusing her of facing “karma” for supporting Yul Edochie’s second wife, Judy Austin. These comments prompted a response from Ogbodo, who addressed the toxic behavior of May’s fans in a series of Instagram posts.
According to Ogbodo, May’s supporters have been relentless in their criticisms, going as far as to suggest that the robbery was deserved punishment for Ogbodo’s stance on Yul and Judy’s relationship. Frustrated with the harsh comments, Ogbodo called out the toxicity, referring to these fans as a “very toxic bunch of lunatics” and suggesting they are obsessed with spreading negativity. She went on to compare May’s fanbase to the famously vocal “Wizkid FC,” known for their passionate defense of the Nigerian singer, noting that May’s fans have become equally aggressive online.
Ogbodo explained that the continual trolling influenced her decision to block May, as she felt that May seemed to enjoy the fanbase’s toxic behavior rather than discouraging it. In her posts, Ogbodo stated, “I blocked May because you wouldn’t let me like her pictures in peace. And she seems to enjoy the toxicity! So that pisses me off! As she cannot tell you to stop.”
Expressing her frustration further, Ogbodo rejected the idea of karma being at play in her robbery incident. She clarified that she believes in karma but does not think it affects people who act with a pure heart. She wrote, “Singing Karma Karma. Does karma visit innocent person? Someone whose heart is pure and not ridden with evil? Hell No!” She maintained that her support for Judy Austin was simply her way of staying true to herself and not meddling in the lives of others.
Ogbodo urged May’s fans to stop viewing her content if it caused them distress, emphasizing that misfortune is a part of life’s cycle and could happen to anyone. She defended her right to live peacefully, despite her opinions and associations, and stood firm against the hate directed toward her.
