In a surprising development, the DPA Family Law Firm has officially ended its legal representation of May Edochie, citing a toxic and hostile environment allegedly created by her fanbase, popularly known as “May Nation.
“The announcement was made via a formal statement posted on the law firm’s official Facebook page, where the firm expressed concern over persistent online bullying and harassment — not from May’s opponents, but from her own supporters.
“The hostile environment fostered by certain individuals within the ‘May Nation’ group has made it untenable for us to continue effective representation,” the statement read.
The firm noted that while it strongly condemns the actions of May’s estranged husband, actor Yul Edochie, and his partner Judy Austin, the online behavior of some of May’s fans presented ethical and operational difficulties.
“Pursuing action against those who bullied Queen May becomes profoundly difficult when her own supporters exhibit comparable, if not greater, hostility,” the firm added.Despite the decision to withdraw, DPA reiterated its commitment to ensuring a smooth transition for May Edochie, pledging to cooperate fully with any new legal representative she appoints.
Additionally, the firm announced its intention to take legal action against an individual believed to be operating under the alias “Judy Obasi Austin,” who is allegedly leading the cyberbullying campaign within the “May Nation” group.
DPA concluded by reaffirming its support for May Edochie as a victim of marital abuse and betrayal, emphasizing its firm opposition to forced polygamy and ongoing commitment to gender equality.
The development has stirred mixed reactions online, with some fans calling for calm and others defending their actions as protective of May’s interests.
