The management of media celebrity Chinudu Ani Emmanuel, aka Nedu, has responded to actress Yvonne Jegede’s criticism of the OAP and ‘The Honest Bunch’ podcast.
It should be recalled that Jegede recently chastised Nedu for reportedly undermining her apologies to Yul Edochie’s first wife after praising her husband’s second marriage during an appearance on Nedu’s podcast, ‘The Honest Bunch’.
Jegede attacked Nedu in an Instagram post on Thursday, calling him a “narcissistic and toxic” man who is said to despise women.
In a statement released on Instagram by the actor, Nedu’s management urged Jegede to refrain from further “defaming” the media personality, emphasizing that she was not pushed to make any statements on the podcast.
“We would like to make it clear that Yvonne Jegede was not pressured to make any statements on the podcast, and that neither Nedu nor the producers of The Honest Bunch, nor Glitch Africa Studio, takes any responsibility for personal thoughts and positions shared by Yvonne Jegede.
“We would also like to state clearly that Yvonne Jegede appeared on The Honest Bunch as part of her publicity drive for her upcoming movie. While this was a paid appearance, it does not in any way afford Yvonne Jegede the right to defame or slander Nedu or the producers of The Honest Bunch.”
