Pokwang admitted getting hurt over the allegations thrown against her former partner, American actor Lee O’Brian, following their breakup.
The actress-comedienne opened up about her split with Lee in an interview with 24 Oras’ Nelson Canlas, making clear the reason they called it quits.
“Una sa lahat walang third party, wala in all fairness kay Papang. Hindi rin pera, kagaya ng mga lumalabas na pera. Hindi ganoon, walang ganoon. Siguro napagod lang kami,” said Pokwang.
Pokwang also explained why she chose to keep their relationship status private even after getting separated in November 2021.
“Kasi ako ‘yung taong lahat tinitiis ko, hanggat kaya ko, ako lang,” said Pokwang.
She continued, “Hanggat kaya ko itago sa anak ko, hanggat kaya ko huwag iiyak sa harap nila. Lahat ng burden gusto ko ako lang. Parang nahihiya ako mandamay sa pamilya ko.”
Pokwang became emotional as she defended Lee from netizens’ accusations after they parted ways.
“Sana ang alam ng tao na ang hinuhusgahan ninyo na si Lee O’Brian ay mabuting tao naman po. Mabuting ama. Nasasaktan lang ako sa mga nababasa ko na kesyo palamunin ko daw. Masipag po ‘yung tao,” stated Pokwang.
In a Youtube vlog released on July 8, host and talent manager Ogie Diaz revealed that Pokwang and Lee already separated but parted on good terms.
Pokwang later confirmed in an Instagram that she Lee did break up for seven months already but ended their relationship “peacefully” and are co-parenting their daughter Malia.
The two were together for almost seven years, after going public with their romance in January 2015.
