Carla Abellana breaks silence on Tom Rodriguez split. 'Sa dami ng binigay ko kay Tom wala na pong natira sakin'
Carla Abellana has broken her silence on the controversial separation between her and Tom Rodriguez.
In a YouTube video where the actress detailed her latest endorsement deal, some asked Carla on the comments section why she was deleting comments about their marriage.
"Ayaw ko lang po ng negativity," Carla replied to one Rosario Arellano. However, some netizens still found her answer lacking and asked for more details, stating that she would not find peace if she didn't talk things out with Rodriguez.
In a lengthy reply to one Marlyn Generao, Carla spoke up about their marital state after liking negative comments toward Tom.
"Opo, nag like po ako, pero yun lang po ang ginawa ko. Hindi ko na po yun inulit. Nag like po ako pero hindi ko po ginawa ng paulit-ulit at ng matagal. Ang taong lubos na nasaktan hirap pong pigilang hindi ilabas ang galit sa anumang paraan."
Carla continued to share how she and her family were mistreated during their relationship.
"I was disrespected. I was betrayed. I was lied to. I was used. I was shamed. I was made to look so stupid."
"Kung sana hanggang dun lang po makakabangon din po ako balang araw. Pero para gawan pa po ako at ang pamilya ko ng mas marami pang kasamaan at kataksilan sa mga sumunod na araw, linggo at buwan, sobra sa sobra na po ang sakit at pagdurog ng puso at pagkatao ko," she added.
She went on to share the seven years they had gone through as a couple, and how Carla was not permitted to voice out negative emotions to Tom.
"7 na taon po akong bawal magalit, magtampo, masaktan, mabigo, malungkot, madismaya dahil hindi po pwede."
"Makakatikim po ako kahit subukan ko pong ipaliwanag sa kanya na nasasaktan niya ako at hindi po tama ang mga ginagawa niya. Paulit-ulit ko pong pinapaalala sa kanya na hindi po ako kalaban at mabuti po ang kalooban at intensyon ko."
She added that she urged Tom to seek professional help, to no avail: "Ilang beses ko po siyang hinikayat na magpatingin, magpagamot at magpagaling dahil yun din po ang gumana sa akin. Pero wala parin po."
"Sa lala po ng sakit, pambabastos, panloloko, pandudurog, paninira, panggagamit at pagtataksil po niya, mga tinago niya, napakadali pong ibalik sa kanya sa paraan ng pagganti. Pero hindi po ako ganun."
The actress concluded by asking the public to not judge her for liking comments against Tom, and she remains a good person despite what netizens have to say.
"Kung ano po ang nakikita, naririnig at nababasa ninyo online ay kakarampot lang po ng hindi po ninyo nakikita, naririnig at nababasa kapag wala pong kahit anong camerang naka record. Kapag sarado na po ang pinto sa pamamahay po namin at wala na pong ibang nakakakita."
Carla and Tom exchanged vows on Oct. 23, 2021, at a church in Batangas. They met on the set of the GMA series My Husband's Lover in 2014 and have been a couple ever since.
In March of 2022, rumors of a separation surfaced after Tom deactivated his Instagram account and wiped off Carla from his follower and following list. Carla was spotted without her wedding ring as early as February.
Carla's father, actor Rey Abellana, fueled the separation rumors when he confirmed that Tom and Carla were having marital problems. He initially stated that a "one-night stand" was the cause but later retracted the allegations.
