Nollywood actress Yvonne Jegede has apologized to May Edochie, the estranged wife of controversial actor, Yul Edochie following her recent interview.

This follows her controversial comment on polygamy referencing Yul's marriage in the interview on the Honest Bunch podcast on Tuesday, June 11.

Yvonne, who spoke about the pains of her ex-marriage called out those who condone Ned Nwoko's polygamist tendencies but criticized Edochie for doing the same.

Her comment was, however, tagged as an indult to May following her crisis with Yul.

Amid the criticisms that trailed the explosive comment, Yvonne apologized to her fans, May and women.

She said her words didn't communicate what she meant as she acknowledged May's pains during her marriage to Yul.

An extract from the apology letter read: "Upon reflecting on the interview, I realize that my words were not articulated in a way that conveyed my true intentions and have been misconstrued as insensitive, particularly towards Mrs. May Edochie, a woman who has endured significant pain and hardship occasioned by estranged marriage.

I deeply regret that my comments were perceived as adding to her distress. It was never my intention to cause any pain or disrespect. I am truly sorry."
