Yinka Theisen Shades May Yul-Edochie for Still Bearing Yul’s Name Amid Divorce Drama

Social media has once again been set abuzz as Yinka Theisen, the former fiancée of Linc Edochie — brother to Nollywood actor Yul Edochie — took to social media to throw subtle yet fiery shade at May Yul-Edochie, Yul’s estranged wife.

In a lengthy post shared online, Yinka mocked May for still bearing Yul-Edochie’s name, despite publicly seeking a divorce and issuing a cease-and-desist order against her estranged husband.

“Linc Edochie is my ex fiancé. I have an ex-husband. Your queen granted an interview and could not call Ezedike her ex. She wrote a cease and desist & called herself Mrs Yul-Edochie,” Yinka wrote.

“She still carried not only the man’s last name but his first name. Her followers are still fighting that Judy is not Ezedike’s wife but his mistress. What exactly are you folks fighting for, cause I am confused.”

Yinka went on to accuse May of not letting go emotionally, urging her supporters to focus on “encouraging their queen” instead of trolling others.

She also claimed that Yul chose his second wife, Judy Austin, after being “given an ultimatum” by May — a statement that has further fueled heated debates online.

“Yul picked Judy, that is the truth cause he was given an ultimatum by your queen. I know you are all grieving cause your queen has been replaced by someone you insult so much. I am not going anywhere,” Yinka added.

Her post, laden with sharp words and personal claims, has sparked intense discussions across social media, with many users defending May while others accused Yinka of seeking attention.

Opinion: The Edochie Family Drama — When Private Pain Becomes Public Entertainment

Once again, the Edochie family saga has spilled onto social media — a reminder of how easily personal battles can become public spectacles in the age of clout and clicks.

Yinka’s comments, though confidently expressed, raise a deeper question: When does “speaking your truth” cross into stirring unnecessary conflict?

May Yul-Edochie has long been perceived as the quiet, dignified figure in the storm — choosing grace and restraint while her marital crisis unfolded in the public eye. Whether she keeps the name “Yul-Edochie” or not is ultimately a personal choice — one that does not define her healing or independence. After all, changing a name doesn’t erase years of shared history, children, or identity.

Yinka’s remarks, on the other hand, seem to reflect the fatigue of being drawn into someone else’s drama. But her tone — sharp and confrontational — has left many feeling that her message lost its maturity to emotion.

At its heart, this entire saga is a tragic example of how love, betrayal, and pride can turn once-private lives into internet soap operas. What could have been handled in silence has now become public theater — and the audience, as always, is divided.

In truth, both women deserve peace. But peace doesn’t thrive in the noise of online feuds — it grows in silence, healing, and letting go.
