• Judith Heard has advised Stella “Ellah” Nantumbwe to stop discussing her marriage issues on social media.

• The advice comes after Ellah publicly responded to accusations made by Col. Edith Nakalema regarding property allegedly taken from Saidi Bukenya’s home.

• Judith believes private family matters should be handled with dignity, maturity, and discretion rather than in the public eye.

Socialite Judith Heard has come out to give some advice to embattled beauty queen and actress Stella “Ellah” Nantumbwe amid her ongoing marriage wrangles.

Ellah has recently found herself at the centre of public discussion following accusations by former head of the State House Investors Protection Unit, Col. Edith Nakalema. Nakalema alleged that Ellah, together with her mother, connived to steal household property belonging to her former husband, Saidi Bukenya, just months into their marriage.

The accusations sparked debate on social media, prompting Ellah to defend herself publicly. In a series of videos, she sought to clear her name by showing that the house in question remained intact and that no property had been taken.

Now, Judith Heard has weighed in on the matter, urging Ellah to avoid taking private family matters to the internet.

“I was married for 12 years and I am proud of how we chose to cover the divorce from the public,” Judith said.

“My advice to Ellah is simple: don’t air your dirty laundry on the internet.”

According to Judith, regardless of the circumstances surrounding the marriage, there should still be a level of respect between the parties involved.

“No matter what has happened, remember that this is still the man you chose to marry, and that home, whether people approve of it or not, is the home you have been living in for the last few months,” she stated.

Judith further noted that social media users cannot fix broken relationships or heal emotional wounds.

“The public cannot heal your marriage, and the public cannot heal your heartbreak. All they will do is consume the story and move on to the next one,” she said.

She advised Ellah to handle the situation with wisdom and maturity if the marriage has indeed reached its end.

“If the marriage has come to an end, handle it with wisdom, dignity, and maturity. Protect your peace, protect your future, and protect yourself. Not every private matter needs a public audience.”

Judith concluded by emphasizing the value of silence in sensitive situations.

“Sometimes silence speaks louder than exposing everything.”

It should be noted that Judith Heard was married to her former husband Richard Heard for over a decade before the couple eventually separatedin 2014. Throughout their split, the socialite largely kept details of their divorce away from the public eye, something she says helped preserve peace and dignity for everyone involved.
