Issa Pressman Breaks Down on Cam—James Reid’s Reaction Will Break Your Heart
ISSA PRESSMAN – In a powerful video now going viral, Issa Pressman breaks down during her interview with Karen Davila, revealing the emotional battles she has kept hidden for years.
After years of silence, Issa Pressman is finally ready to open up as she sits down for an exclusive, heart-to-heart interview with Karen Davila. The highly anticipated conversation will be released this Thursday, November 13, on YouTube via @KarenDavilaOfficial.
During the interview, Issa gives viewers a rare glimpse into the home she shares with her boyfriend, actor and musician James Reid. She also bravely opens up about her identity as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, sharing her story of being bisexual and how she has learned to embrace her truth.
The episode dives deep into Issa’s three-year battle with anxiety, depression, and self-harm, revealing the emotional struggles she faced behind closed doors. She speaks candidly about the people who became her anchors during her darkest moments — James, who stood by her with unwavering support, and her sister Yassi, who has been a constant source of strength.
Issa also reflects on her and Yassi’s humble beginnings. She recalls how the two sisters worked together to help their family after their father lost his job and their mother had to work abroad. These challenges tested their resilience and strengthened their bond as a family.
One of the most unforgettable moments in the interview shows Issa breaking into tears, while James, visibly distressed and full of sympathy, struggles to hold back his own emotions. This powerful scene leaves viewers wondering what brought them to such intense vulnerability.
Issa opens up about her journey in love, explaining how she chose to stay silent amid rumors, hoping that false accusations would eventually fade. For the first time, she confirms that she became James Reid’s second relationship after his 2019 breakup with Nadine Lustre. That chapter, she says, taught her valuable lessons about growth, understanding, and self-worth.
“The past is behind us and I’ve managed to see and be grateful for the growth this challenge brought,” she shares.
“It’s about healing, for me, ayokong may mawala pa ang isa pang magandang kaluluwa. Kailangan nang matigil ang bullying,” she adds.
Issa’s story is a moving reminder that behind every smile lies a struggle unknown to many — and that love, kindness, and courage can bring light even in the darkest battles. This interview aims to break the silence surrounding mental health, bullying, and self-harm, inspiring others to seek help, show compassion, and believe in healing.
