Pokwang has finally spoken out about the mean comments she received online concerning the past issue with her ex-partner, Lee O' Brian.
In an interview with entertainment vlogger and talent manager Ogie Diaz, Pokwang candidly discussed her past relationship, revealing traumatic events she endured while they were together. She admitted to keeping quiet about the abuse to everyone, including her family and friends while trying to save their marriage.
As the situation worsened, the Tiktoclock host decided to separate from Lee O' Brian and filed a deportation case against him. The former was subsequently deported from the Philippines and did not return.
Despite resolving these issues legally, Pokwang continued to express her resentment towards her ex-partner, leading to misunderstandings among netizens.
Addressing her critics, Pokwang stated, "Hindi ako umaano intindihin n'yo ako. Problema ni'yo na 'yun kung hindi ni'yo ako maintindihan. Sarado na kasi utak ng iba, eh."
She emphasized that her remarks were not made out of bitterness but were a response to clarify her situation.
"Ganito lang 'yan, nu'ng panahon ba na okay kami, bitter ba ako? Nu'ng panahon ba na masaya kami, na hindi siya nagloloko, bitter ba ako? 'Di ba, masaya kami. Kung bakit ako nagkaganito, kasi may ginawa siya, may nangyari. Walang babae, walang nanay na gustong laging galit. Kaya ka lang naman nagalit kasi may nangyari," she explained.

Pokwang also pointed out that her primary source of anger towards Lee stemmed from his neglect of their daughter, Malia. She expressed frustration that her ex-partner did not provide financial support their daughter's needs despite his ability to enjoy a lavish lifestyle in the country and abroad.
"Hindi nagbibigay sa anak, e. Nu'ng nandito hindi nagbibigay. Nu'ng nandoon wala. Sabi ng iba,'E, pina-deport mo.' E, 'yun ngang nandito hindi nagbibigay. Nagpapakamatay ako kakatrabaho. Siya nakikita sa mga iba't ibang club gabi-gabi. Iba't ibang babae kasama nag-go-golf, " she revealed.
Pokwang added, "Ako lang ba gumawa mag-isa nito? Karapatan ng anak ko 'yun kaya ako lumalaban. Karapatan ng anak ko at ganu'n din ang gawin ninyo sa mga anak ninyo kung sakaling mangyari sa inyo 'yan."
She also emphasized her desire for assistance from Malia's father, especially on their daughter's education expenses.
She then highlighted that her silence in the past was to protect their family, urging netizens to consider the full context beyond what is seen on social media or in interviews.
"Lahat ng pagtatakip talaga ginawa ko sa kaniya. Kung huhusgahan n'yo ko, hindi ni'yo pa po alam ang lahat marami pa kayong hindi alam. Ang nakikita n'yo lang kung ano 'yung nangyari sa social media, sa mga interview. Pero behind cam hindi n'yo alam kung ano'ng nangyayari sa amin," she said.
