Veteran entertainment columnist and host Cristy Fermin shared some of the issues thrown at Pokwang’s ex-husband Lee O’Brian which caused their separation.
In a video uploaded on her Youtube channel on Tuesday, July 12, Fermin mentioned some allegations and rumors against Pokwang’s former husband that resulted in their breakup.
According to Cristy, one of the rumors against Lee was his laziness.
“Marami pong lumulutang na dahilan na hindi naman po namin pinaniniwalaan kasi kung totoo po si pokwang mismo ang magsasabi sa amin.
“Pero eto nga yung mga lumulutang na kwento, tamad daw si Lee O’Brian. Kumbaga si pokwang talaga yung nagtatrabaho, yung kumikilos para sa kanilang pamilya.”
Fermin also mentioned that some members of Pokwang’s family are against her relationship with Lee because of money matters.
“Eto pa yung mga lumulutang, against yung pamilya ni Pokwang kasi pati sila daw ay nahaharangn ng biyaya dahil kay Lee. Parang nadala si Pokwang ni Lee sa pagiging maramot.”
Meanwhile, in an interview with GMA News’ Nelson Canlas, Pokwang defended O’Brien from all the issues against him.
Pokwang denied allegations that O’Brian is a bum and that she’s the only one working for their family. She also denied any third-party involved in their breakup.
“Una sa lahat, walang third party, wala, in all fairness kay Papang.
“Di rin pera kagaya ng mga lumalabas na pera, hindi ho, walang ganun.
“Siguro naano lang kami, ano ba tawag dun? Napagod.
“Sana alam ng tao na yung hinuhusgahan niyo na si Lee O’Brian ay mabuting tao naman po. Mabuting ama.
“Nasasaktan lang ako sa mga nababasa ko. Kesyo palamunin ko raw. Masipag po yung tao.”
Pokwang publicly confirmed their separation through an Instagram post on Sunday, July 10.
In the post, Pokwang shared that they were already separated for seven months, but they continue to co-parent their child Malia.
“Yes it’s been seven months since tapusin namin ni papang ang lahat, pero maayos at mapayapa, at bilang magkaibigan na lamang mas nagagampanan namin ang mga tungkulin bilang magulang ni Malia. Natapos man ito sa ‘di inaasahang panahon hindi dito hihinto ang pagiging nanay ko sa mga anak ko. At mas lalo kong minahal ang mga biyayang sakin ay binigay ng Panginoon.”
