Yinka Theisen, the estranged wife of Nollywood actor Yul Edochie, has vented over the negative comments on his Instagram page.
Sharing screenshots of some comments, she begged God to help her restrain her tongue as she noted how a good person sees the good in others.
Yinka believed she wasn’t used and that what they had was real. She noted how Nigerians put people on a high pedestal based on name, reputation, and morals.
“From Linc Edochie’s wall. Note all the hearts on the negative comments about me. God help me restrain my tongue. A good person wants to see good in others. A friend sent me this. I want to believe with all my heart that I was not used & whatever I thought we had was real. We put people on a pedestal based on their family name or reputation. Or simply based on our own morals. The world is truly a dark place”.
Yinka married Linc in June 2025 and immediately began publicly showing love to Yul Edochie and Judy Austin, a move that did not go down well with supporters of May Edochie.
Last month, Linc had distanced himself from Yinka following her attacks on May Edochie. He made it known that he doesn’t endorse May’s attacks or posting her number online, which had triggered meaningless retaliation. Yul’s elder brother added that it is better to be alone and at peace than to be in a union filled with landmines.
Reacting to his public statement, Yinka expressed sadness at how a man she loves can throw her under the bus over an argument because of fear. Yinka added that since he cowardly embarrassed her on social media, she will respond in kind.
In her first interview, Yinka said she didn’t like how the family threw her under the bus and believes it’s because she is Yoruba. She noted how she was accused of leaking the phone numbers of the oldest Edochie son and another family member, which she denied. She alleged that Rita Edochie is pretending to be on May Edochie’s side while instigating problems for May behind the scenes.
