The husband of the California dermatologist who allegedly poisoned him with Drano made up the story to gain custody of their kids.
45-year-old Yue “Emily” Yu was arrested recently after her husband claimed she poisoned him with Drano. Jack Chen claimed Emily constantly spiked his lemonade with the chemical. He even documented his wife pouring Drano into his drinks on three separate occasions.
“The idea that my client, who is a 45-year-old well-respected dermatologist in Orange County, would destroy her life, destroy her children’s lives and try to kill her husband is just completely absurd and untrue, and for that matter defamatory,” attorney David Wohl says.
However, on Friday, Emily was released on bail and was not charged with any crimes. According to Emily’s lawyer, the video Chen recorded was not what it seemed. Apparently, Emily was using the Drano to unclog the sink pipes. In the videos, Emily poured the chemical into an empty cup to avoid splashing.
“Anytime she poured Drano into a cup, it was completely empty,” the lawyer said. “It was for facilitating use in the sink or any other part of the house that was clogged as far as the drainage goes.”
Wohl argued that Chen created the false narrative with hopes of divorcing Emily and gaining custody of their two children.

The video I saw shows pretty dang clearly she was pouring Drano in his drink - PERIOD!
Good catch. Another article I found used the same wording. Maybe the articles are written poorly.
No, it doesn’t. You can’t see anything except she is putting it in a cup. What cup, and if anything was in it, or if he would drink from it, you don’t know.
BUT the weird thing is she was doing it at a table. If she was so concerned about safety with the chemicals, she would surely put it in the sink, not in the middle of the kitchen on a table. Unless she’s stupid. Which could be.
Indeed, I don’t know why it wouldn’t cause obvious problems right away. This is not arsenic build-up. This stuff kills right away. Small amounts should be very damaging. Did this man ever go to a clinic or at least feel the need to self-treat in a big way?
Where’s the video everyone keeps talking about? Anyone have a link? So far, I’ve found only photos.
OK, I understand now. Thanks for the explanation.
But, multiple times? I thought Drano “corroded” the throat, leading to deadly bleeding. One should do the job. It’s not like it works like arsenic, does it?
As the story said, to prevent it from splashing, which it often does if you pour it directily into a clogged drain with standing water in it.
I found this out the hard way and burned spots on the skin on my hands. Glad it didn't splash up into my eyes.
See post 28.
Thanks. A few other posters here said they pour theirs into a cup first, too.
Weird story. I’ve never poured Drano into a cup.
Weird story. I’ve never poured Drano into a cup.
