Nollywood actress Rita Edochie has reacted to Judy Austin’s reported lawsuit against her, saying she is not worried about the legal battle and instead sees it as an opportunity to address issues she has deliberately kept away from the public.

Nollywood actress Rita Edochie has reacted to Judy Austin’s reported lawsuit against her, saying she is not losing sleep over the legal battle and is instead looking forward to the opportunity to speak further.
Edochie dismissed claims that the lawsuit had caused her sleepless nights, saying she had deliberately kept certain matters to herself despite having opportunities to discuss them publicly.
She explained that the lawsuit had now provided what she described as an opportunity to address issues she had previously chosen not to bring into the public space.
“This lawsuit dey give Rita Edochie sleepless night. Mee? As how nah? Nwa nne, na better opportunity wey I dey find to dey talk wetin I never talk dem give me so I don grab wella.”
The actress, however, said her immediate attention was on celebrating May Edochie’s birthday, describing it as more important before the reported court proceedings.
“29th is the code, but first, get ready for my great darling daughter’s birthday, Queen May Yul Edochie; that is more important.”
Edochie said she had been observing developments and deliberately remaining silent on several matters.
She added, “Observing and keeping a lot to myself. There are so many things I could have said before now, but I deliberately chose silence because I didn’t want to force certain conversations into the public space.”
According to her, the legal action has now changed the situation and given her an avenue to defend the statements she has previously made.
“But since a lawsuit has now been brought into the picture, let the facts come out. Let the law hold me down if everything I have been saying is not the truth.”
Edochie further questioned the basis of a possible defamation claim if what she said was truthful.
“Where is the defamation if I have spoken falsely? Then let the court establish it. But if what I have been saying is true, then why should I be terrified of saying even more? More dey come.”
She went on to say that she welcomed the lawsuit because it would give her the opportunity to present what she claimed to know before the appropriate authorities.
“In fact, I have a whole lot more to say, and that is why I thank God for this lawsuit every single day. You proof have basically handed me the microphone I have been waiting for.”
She concluded with a warning that she intended to use the opportunity fully, saying, “I go use am open fowl nyash! I go use am well, I swear.”
Edochie stressed that any revelations she makes would be based on what she knows and believes can be defended before the law.
“Not with rumours, not with fabricated stories, not with whispers from unknown sources. I will speak about what I know, what I have said, what I can stand by, and what I believe can be defended before the appropriate authorities.”
