Rey PJ Abellana: “May mga statements na binitawan na talagang against me”
Veteran actor Rey PJ Abellana has finally spoken up after watching the emotional interview of his former wife, Rea Reyes, and their daughter, Carla Abellana, on the YouTube channel of journalist Julius Babao.
In the interview, the mother and daughter opened up about personal matters—including the reason behind Rea and Rey PJ’s separation, as well as long-standing cheating rumors involving the actor.
According to Rey PJ, the public only heard one side of the story, which made him appear like the bad guy. He admitted that the statements made during the interview were painful and deeply personal—things he believed should have remained private. “It was brutal,” Rey PJ said, referring to the harsh words said about him. He added that he was surprised these sensitive issues were brought out in public, especially since he had chosen to remain silent for so long.
“Supposedly private matters na ito,” he said. “All this time I’ve been quiet… until napanood ko ‘yung interview nila.”
Rey PJ also responded to rumors that he had three wives and cheated in all his relationships. He explained that his former family was unaware of the full details of his life after he and Rea separated, which made it even more painful to be judged unfairly. He made it clear that he never spoke negatively about his ex-wife or children, choosing instead to protect their dignity and privacy.
Despite these personal challenges, Rey PJ is grateful that his career continues to move forward. He is currently part of The Heart of Music, a musical film starring Gladys Reyes along with Sparkle artists Angel Guardian, Kristoffer Martin, and Sean Lucas. He expressed how happy he is to return to a genre that he truly enjoys.
