After the hearing, Yu’s lawyer claimed Chen made up the poisoning story in an attempt to get custody of their children. “We believe, once again, that this was a set up,” Wohl told reporters. “She did not use [the Drano] to poison her husband.” Wohl has previously said hidden camera footage actually shows Yu using the substance to unclog a drain in the kitchen of the couple’s $2.5 million home. Yu’s lawyer claimed she was “set up” and didn’t put Drano in her husband’s lemonade. Yu was arrested for allegedly poisoning Chen.
