"If You Try To Destroy Me, You've Destroyed Yourself" – Rita Edochie Fires Shots At Judy Austin

Veteran Nollywood actress Rita Edochie has continued to fire shots at Judy Austin amid their ongoing legal battle, issuing a stern warning in a cryptic Instagram post.

The post, which came days after Judy filed a N1 billion defamation lawsuit against her, appeared to be a direct response to the legal action.

Rita declared herself an unshakable force, warning that anyone who messes with her will get burned.

She also dismissed any attempts to destroy her, insisting that such efforts would only backfire.

She wrote:

"Be the fear wey fear dey fear, noww www... If you mess with a consuming fire, you will get burned by the flames. You can never destroy a pillar of truth. Evil manipulations can never triumph over justice. If they like, they can serve themselves papers from the shrine na there e go good pass because I am an unshakable force. Truth is absolutely different from character defamation truth is outstanding, truth cannot be silenced, truth is fearless, and can tackle anything. If you try to destroy me, you have already destroyed yourself."

The Nigerian Voice recalls that Judy shared the image of her lawsuit against Rita Edochie on her Instagram page on Wednesday.

The wife of Yul Edochie had sued Rita over alleged defamatory statements made by the actress against her, in addition to ordering her to retract the statements and tender a public apology.
