Nollywood actress Amarachi Igidimbah has cleared the air as she reinstated her stance for monogamy over polygamy following the backlash that trailed her video with her male colleague Yul Edochie.
The drama began after Amarachi shared a video showing the moment she linked up with Yul at what appeared to be a movie location.
While eulogising Yul, Amarachi spoke about the actor’s marital status as she advised ladies to steer clear from him.
“He is taken,” Amarachi was heard saying in the video.
Sharing the video of her with Yul, Amarachi added in her caption,
“Odogwu! Onye m for long @yuledochie, I read this script and fell in love, then I asked who is playing this my rival character and I heard YUL EDOCHIE…. I said, say no more Sir, I am coming because I already know it’s a hit…….. Always a good time on set with you Onyem, Ezigbo onye film.”
Following the video, the actress faced criticism as some netizens claimed her comment was a show of support for Yul’s second wife and actress, Judy Austin, thus encouraging polygamy.
Amarachi Igidimbah clears misconception about video
In reaction, Amarachi Igidimbah addressed her comment about Yul Edochie’s marital status.
She disclosed that her comment about Yul in the video was her cruising with the actor.
Amarachi stated that she remains an advocate of monogamy but would never inherit enmity in a family war.
“The misconception here is me saying He is Taken. Is he a Single Man? Is he not still a legally married man, what else am I supposed to respond when a married man says girls are running around him? Why are you people angry with that statement if not for your biased mindset and hungry to devour any Yul acquaintance mindset? Note that all these statements were made on cruise, vibes and hype mood, nothing serious or personal. Everybody who knows me personally knows my stance on this matter and were truly shocked to see the misinterpreted narratives flying around. I am a big advocate of 1 man 1 woman. I am big on good energy and will never celebrate another person’s pain. I repeat, Do I support what has happened to this family, CAPITAL NO! But that does not also mean that I should inherit enmity in a family war that I do not know the genesis of, or not vibe with my senior colleague,” she said.
