Tamang oras na ilahad ang sexual identity: MICHELLE, nag-out na rin na isa siyang bisexual

DALAWANG isyu na noon ay bulung-bulungan lamang ang magkasunod na nakumpirma ngayong pagtatapos ng buwan ng Mayo.

Una rito ay ang dati pang napapabalitang hiwalay na sina Max Collins at Pancho Magno.

Sa episode ng ‘Fast Talk with Boy Abunda’ nitong Lunes, inamin ito ni Max, na nangyari ang kanilang hiwalayan noong panahon ng pandemic.

“I didn’t talk about it because siyempre, marami kaming pinagdaan as a family that time because there was a pandemic, nanganak ako, my marriage was falling apart.

“I had to process everything, and I wanted to quiet the noise. I didn’t want to hear other’s people’s opinions, suggestions, comments because artista na ako, ayaw kong gawing teleserye ‘yung buhay namin,” pahayag ni Max..

Maayos raw ang kanilang paghihiwalay ni Pancho, at napagkasunduan nila na gawin ito sa tahimik na paraan.

“Every separation is difficult, but it was amicable. We were not working out, and we needed to try spending time apart to see how that would work because we have a son to think about,” pagbabahagi pa ng Sparkle actress.

Ayon pa rin kay Max ay ginawa nila ni Pancho ang lahat para maisalba ang kanilang pagsasama.

“We’ve been together for eights years total. Nilaban namin hangga’t kaya ng mga puso namin in a sense where dumating ‘yung point na we stopped becoming in denial about it.

“I didn’t want to lie to myself anymore, and I think he didn’t want to as well,” pahayag pa ni Max.

Ibinahagi naman ng aktres na maganda ang co-parenting relationship nila ni Pancho sa kanilang anak na si Skye.

“That’s why I’m ready to talk about it now because we’re in a good place. I actually got his blessing to do an interview with you,” patungkol ni Max kay Tito Boy.

“We’re in a very good place now. Our child is almost three, and he’s very happy and healthy, and we have a very good co-parenting relationship,” sinabi pa ni Max.

Tungkol sa relasyon niya kay Pancho, sinabi ni Max na…

“We’re the best of friends, we’re closer now.”

Samantala, bahagi si Max ng upcoming romantic/comedy/action series na ‘Walang Matigas Na Pulis Sa Matinik Na Misis’ with Senator Ramon “Bong” Revilla, Jr. at Beauty Gonzalez na mapapanood na simula June 4, 7:50 pm sa GMA.

ISA pang pasabog na rebelasyon ay nagmula kay Miss Universe Philippines 2023 Michelle Dee… isa siyang bisexual!

Naganap ang pag-a-out ni Michelle sa Mega Magazine special issue na inilabas nitong Lunes.

“I definitely identify myself as bisexual. I’ve identified with that for as long as I can remember.

“I’m attracted to all forms of beauty, all shapes and sizes,” pahayag ng beauty queen/actress na incidentally ay bestfriend ni Max Collins.

Ayon pa kay Michelle, lumaki siya sa isang pamilyang puno ng “empowered and strong individuals,” lalo na ang kaniyang ina na si Melanie Marquez.

“I grew up in an environment where we’d appreciate pogi and maganda.

“I never had to quote, unquote come out. I was never really confronted about it by my parents or people who matter,” sinabi ni Michelle.

Matagal na rin daw siyang tagasuporta ng LGBTQIA+ community.

“Even before coming out, I’ve been attending pride marches. I have too many friends and best friends in the community.

“I’ve been a loud and proud ally. It’s just that I never gave a confirmation [of my sexuality].

Hindi raw naramdaman ni Michelle na isyu ang kanyang sexual identity.

“I have so much more to offer the world and the universe than how I identify myself. This is also the reason why I chose not to come out despite the pressure to come out during the competition,” ayon kay Michelle, na sinabi rin ito na ang tamang oras na ilahad ang kaniyang sexual identity.

“When somebody takes away your story, then you should take control of that narrative. Turn it around and make it an empowering story. So that’s what I’m doing,” paliwanag pa niya.
