PBA player Paul Desiderio is under fire over alleged physical, emotional abuse to former partner Agatha Uvero
Kasalukuyan ngayong pinagpipiyestahan sa social media ang umano'y pang-aabuso at pananakot ng PBA player na si Paul Desiderio sa dati nitong kasintahan at UAAP courtside reporter na si Agatha Uvero.
Marami ang nagulat sa naging pagbubunyag ni Agatha Uvero sa kanyang Twitter account nitong Miyerkules ng madaling araw. Sa magkakasunod na tweet ay idinetalye nito ang umano'y sinapit niyang pang-aabuso mula sa dating karelasyon.
"I really didn't wanna do this but the threats have been difficult and I owe this to myself and to women out there," wika nito sa naunang tweet.
"I really hate airing dirty laundry on social media, but I also don't have it in me anymore to keep quiet just because I know that so many people empower this person and enable him to be the abuser he is.
"Like all of you, I have been nothing but a fan of this man, in fact the #1 fan. In my desperate attempt to reinforce his good behavior, I always posted the highlights and the best of our relationship. As a gogetter, a woman with a strong personality, I couldn't admit to myself that I had a lapse of judgement in this man who I defended to many people who told me to avoid. I'm swallowing my pride for my own safety and for my own accountability not to cover up for someone just because of love or fear."
"I've talked to Paul so many times but he kept telling me to do it and said that if his career goes down it's my fault. I'm done with your gaslighting, Paul. You kept telling me to do this and at the end of the day no one will side with me. I have proof, pictures, screenshots, if no one will side with me, I'IL accept it but I know the truth. I am not perfect and I've had my own mistakes in this relationships but no matter how mad I was, if I was almost twice your height and weight, I wouldn't hurt you like this," buong pahayag nito.
Inisa-isa rin ni Agatha ang pisikal na pang-aabusong sinapit niya sa kamay ng PBA player sa panahon ng kanilang pagiging magkarelasyon.
Ibinahagi rin nitong nakakaranas siya ng Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder dahil sa sinapit sa dating kasintahan.
"[I] have PTSD from the abuse I've endured under him and right now am so scared to do this but I'm thinking of all the other girls in my place. We wont let them be the victors while we hide as silent victims. Our silence eats us up slowly and causes us to retract from our other loved ones. Please ladies, we can't allow this to keep happening. Men should be accountable for their actions."
Sa isa sa kanyang mga follow-up na tweet na may kasamang screenshot ng isang pag-uusap sa Facebook, kung saan iminumungkahi ng isa na humingi na ng tulong mula sa psychiatrist ang isa. Hindi naman tinukoy kung ang dalawang taong nagpapalitan ng usapan ay mismong si Uvero at Desiderio.
"As much as I would love to end and leave peacefully, I think I owe myself and the women in this world the justice they deserve. I really didn't wanna do this but I don't think I'll be able to leave without doing this. At the end of the day I loved the man and never wanna be the person to drag someone's name in the dirt but I am rest assured, despite all the gaslighting I endured, that there's nothing wrong with telling the truth. His family has been nothing but kind to me. They were the only reasons why I really hesitated to do this. They have nothing to do with this. They don't know about this, they're great people. Ina, Mama, Papa, pasailuha ko. Nag istorya lang ko ug tinuod. Sorry kaayo. Gi threaten ko niya," dagdag pa nito.
Inanunsyo ni Uvero noong Hunyo 3 na hiwalay na sila ni Desiderio. Naging engaged ang dalawa noong Nobyembre, 2019.
