When will TV host-comedienne Pokwang stop harrying her former partner Lee O’Brian, or won’t she?
Again, this disturbing question comes to mind as Pokwang–at Ogie Diaz’s latest vlog interview–shared a never-before-told incident involving her and Lee.
Pokwang–then pregnant with their only child Malia–had discovered that Lee would “never fail to like” a woman who stripped naked on Instagram. “Siyempre, pina-follow namin ang isa’t isa kaya nag-aapir sa timeline ko. Ni-research ko tuloy ‘yung babae, nalaman ko na taga-Aklan. Imagine, sa araw-araw na ginawa ng Diyos, nila-like niya ‘yung nakahubad na babaeng ‘yon!”
Pokwang’s startling discovery, however, proved disastrous to her.
Apparently humiliated, one afternoon while Pokwang was taking her usual nap, Lee angrily stormed in their room: “Binuhusan niya ako ng tubig! Siyempre, basang-basa ang kama. Hindi lang ‘yon, pinagmumura pa niya ako’t dinuru-duro!”
But instead of Lee bolting the doors of their house, it was Pokwang who left.
Soon after, she found herself at a nearby hotel where she stayed for three days.
She continued: “Sa sobrang stress ko, dinugo ako! Sabi ng doktor ko, buti na lang hindi ako nakunan.”
Looking back, Pokwang confessed to Ogie that she’s contemplating reporting that particular case to the VAWC desk.
Like anyone else perhaps, I can’t help but inevitably ask this question: why on earth didn’t Pokwang pursue the case when Lee was still here and not yet sent back to US?
What does she hope to achieve after her exposè? Will “recycling” an old story bring Pokwang anywhere close to justice?
Does the humorless comedienne know there’s such a thing as scraping the bottom of the barrel?
