Nollywood actress Yvonne Jegede has lambasted her colleague and media personality, Chinudu Ani Emmanuel, popularly known as Nedu, for shading her over her apology to Yul Edochie’s first wife, after endorsing her husband’s second marriage.
Jegede tendered an apology after seemingly endorsing Yul Edochie’s controversial second marriage during her appearance on ‘The Honest Bunch’ podcast co-hosted by Nedu.
Following her public apology, the co-host Nedu took a swipe at her: “If you talk, use your chest stand by your words,” he wrote via his Instagram account.
Jegede didn’t take Nedu’s shade lightly as she took to her Instagram page to lambast the podcaster.
The actress said Nedu’s action shows that the rumours that he doesn’t like women might be true.
“I understand Nedu’s difficulty in comprehending my apology. Narcissistic and toxic men like him cannot grasp the importance of apologizing when others feel hurt by your actions, regardless of whether you believe you are right or wrong.
“Small-minded people like you rejoice when women attack each other or are trampled upon. Check the history of your podcast; it is filled with content targeting women’s self-esteem.
Perhaps the rumor about you is true – don’t like women. Nedu, there’s nothing wrong with women winning and shining; it doesn’t diminish you or any other man,” she wrote.
“You are so evil that you didn’t even promote “A Father’s Love,” the movie I came to discuss on your show. Instead, you were all over my WhatsApp, telling me how much you like me, and now you join the mob and chase clout with your petty post.
“I was raised to apologize if I was wrong and to those who felt hurt by my actions.
“If I didn’t own what I said with conviction, I wouldn’t come out to apologize when it was pointed out that some women and May felt offended. My apology was directed at those who clearly expressed their hurt.
“Take all the money you want from Facebook and YouTube, but posterity always judges those who stand against women and profit at the expense of others.
“A small-minded man like you will never understand the need for an apology, even when he is wrong.
“By the way, you asked that I take you out. When I get back in town, we can still do it, but be prepared to man up, take responsibility, and pay your own bills. I always pay mine and never beg for anyone to take me out! She concluded.
