Vivamax actress Karen Lopez finally stepped out to the public after her last public appearance with her boyfriend on May 5, sparking 'missing person' rumors.
Karen put an end to the worries of netizens and addressed her sudden disappearance on Wednesday, May 14, for her sudden disappearance.
“Pasensya na talaga kung bigla akong nawala nitong mga nakaraang araw. Nang hihingi po ako ng paumanhin sobrang sorry talaga sa lahat," she wrote.
According to Karen, she needed to disappear to focus on her well-being after she faced mentally and emotionally challenging experiences.
“Kailangan ko lang munang magpahinga at mag-focus sa sarili. Dumaan ako sa mga bagay na medyo mabigat mentally and emotionally, at napagtanto kong kailangan kong unahin ang well-being ko- even if that meant stepping back for a while,” Karen wrote online.
Following her much-needed pause from the world, Karen said she is now getting better.
Karen told fans. “Alam kong may ilan sa inyo ang nag alala o nagtaka, at sobrang na-appreciate ko ang messages at support ninyo. Slowly, I'm getting better and trying to comeback stronger, one step at a time.”
At the end of her message, Karen expressed her gratitude to the people who showed support during her trying times. “Salamat sa mga nakaintindi, sa mga nag-reach out, at sa mga patuloy na nandyan. Slowly but surely, I'm getting back on track. Appreciate you all so much!”
According to reports, Karen went to a secluded island in the province with her boyfriend to clear her mind from anxiety and depression.
Karen Lopez's manager, Lito De Guzman, said in a radio interview. “So, andun, buhay siya. Nagkaroon siya ng depression sa pamilya, halu-halo… ng boyfriend. Itong boyfriend naman, sinamantala ang kahinaan ng tao, dinala sa isang probinsiya, sa isang isla.”
