Lee O’Brian, the ex-partner of Pokwang, is still in the Philippines despite a deportation order
POKWANG – The comedienne revealed that her estranged partner, Lee O’Brian, is still in the Philippines despite a deportation order from the Bureau of Immigration.
In an Instagram post on January 22, 2024, Pokwang shared a video discussing narcissists, where a vlogger talks about how narcissists use their children to manipulate their image. Pokwang’s caption suggests a connection to her situation.
Responding to a netizen’s comment sharing a similar experience with an ex, Pokwang expresses empathy and tight hugs for those going through such situations. Another follower asks when Pokwang will heal, to which she responds that Lee is still in the country due to alleged influential connections (“may padrino”). She jokingly mentions the possibility of involving Tulfo (a media personality known for addressing public grievances) if needed.
Pokwang assures that she will fight for her daughter, Malia O’Brian, no matter where they go, despite Lee allegedly having influential support. She addresses concerns about her health, stating that her adversaries want her to get sick out of frustration, but she confidently asserts that they are mistaken.
On December 12, 2023, the Bureau of Immigration ordered Lee’s deportation based on a complaint filed by Pokwang, citing visa violations and the cancellation of his work-related visas. Lee is also on the government agency’s blacklist.
