‘Don’t hold her responsible’ – May Edochie’s lawyer speaks on her daughter’s relationship with Yul

In a fiery post on his company’s official Instagram account, Ugwuonye discussed Danielle’s distorted connection with her father since his misunderstanding with the businesswoman.

Ugwuonye passionately refuted accusations, claiming that Danielle’s opinions about her father were influenced by her mother.

He carefully pointed out that the teenager witnessed the split in their home, which has led to her resentment toward the filmmaker.

The legal practitioner chastised the naysayers for their efforts to undermine May Edochie, and blame her for her daughter’s attitude towards Yul.

He wrote: “Daniel is now an adult (young adult). She was a senior teenager when her father, Yul Edochie, turned their world upside down and plunged their family into a vortex of unsavoury public and media attention. Danielle is both a witness and a victim of her father’s extreme conduct.

“What Yul Edochie did was not just an aberration but a near-total derailment of the destiny of his family. What you did not realize is that when Yul betrayed his wife by engaging in a secret affair with another woman for six years to the point of raising a secret family, it was not just his wife that he betrayed. It was not just his wife that he abandoned.

“He also abandoned and betrayed his children, including Danielle. At her age, Danielle was in a good enough position to personally and directly absorb the shock and trauma unleashed on her by her father. To expect that she would not have an independent assessment of what happened or to expect that she would praise her father despite what happened is plain idiocy.”
