Aunt of Anthony Jennings Accuses Jam Villanueva of Controlling His Finances
MERILYN OLOFSSON – Anthony Jennings’ aunt criticized the actor’s ex-girlfriend, Jam Villanueva, for allegedly controlling his finances and sharing their private conversations online.
In a Facebook post, Merilyn expressed support for her nephew while making serious claims against Jam. “Laban lang pamangkin ko, alam ko malalampasan natin lahat to. Tandaan mo Diyos lang ang pwedeng humatol! Lahat ng tao pwede magkamali! Andito kami na pamilya mo sumusuporta sayo! We love you Anthony,” she wrote.
Merilyn further alleged in the comment section that Jam was jealous of Anthony’s on-screen partners, including actress Maris Racal. According to her, Jam even limited the money Anthony could send to his mother.
“Dinamay niya si Maris dahil sa selos. Lahat ng i-partner kay Anthony pinagseselosan ni J at pagdating sa pera ni Anthony siya ang nag control magkano lang ang ibigay sa mama ni Anthony,” Merilyn claimed. “Si Anthony bata pa, matanda na si Jam, kung gusto man ni Anthony kay Maris walang panloloko doon, hindi pa sila kasal ni Jam.”
Merilyn also accused Jam of being greedy with money. She claimed that Anthony’s siblings sometimes went to school hungry because Jam supposedly restricted the financial support sent to their family. As of now, Jam Villanueva has not addressed the allegations.
Meanwhile, Anthony Jennings found himself caught in a controversy after being accused of cheating on his long-time girlfriend, Jamela Villanueva, with actress Maris Racal. The situation blew up when Villanueva shared screenshots of private messages between Anthony and Maris on her Instagram Stories, hinting at a deeper connection between the two.
Anthony and Jamela had been together for nearly seven years before breaking up earlier in 2024. After Jamela’s revelations went viral, Anthony faced heavy criticism online. He eventually issued a heartfelt apology, expressing deep regret for hurting both Jamela and Maris, as well as anyone affected by the situation.
Maris also spoke up, explaining that she thought Anthony and Jamela were already over before anything happened between her and Anthony. She apologized to Jamela, acknowledging the pain and frustration her involvement might have caused.
