Paul Desiderio at Agatha Uvero
“FAKE news!” Yan ang sigaw ng PBA player na si Paul Desiderio sa lahat ng akusasyong ibinabato sa kanya ng dating karelasyong si Agatha Uvero.
Wala raw bahid ng katotohanan ang mga ibinibintang sa kanya ng former UAAP courtside reporter, lalo na ang pang-aabusong pisikal o pananakit umano niya rito noong nagsasama pa sila.
Sa pamamagitan ng kanyang social media accounts, sinagot ng professional basketball player ang mga alegasyon at paratang ni Agatha laban sa kanya at mariing itinanggi ang lahat ng ito.
“Her social media allegation is unfortunate and sad, and most of all, untrue. I had hoped that we will be civil with each other after our separation, for the sake of our son,” bahagi ng pahayag ng player ng Team Blackwater Bossing.
Ipinagdiinan ni Paul na hinding-hindi niya magagawang saktan ang isang babae lalo na ang ina ng kanyang anak.
Patuloy na pagdedepensa ni Paul sa sarili, “I vehemently deny her allegations of abuse during our relationship.
“I have had relationships prior to Ms. Uvero, and I also have a daughter from a previous relationship. I have never hurt a woman, especially not the mother of my child,” paglilinaw pa ng cager.
Umaasa raw siya na darating din ang araw na mapapatunayan niyang wala siyang ginagawang masama at nangakong makikipagtulungan sa gagawing imbestigasyon ng pamunuan ng PBA o Philippine Basketball Association.
“I will fully cooperate with the PBA in the conduct of its investigation and I am confident that I will be absolved of the accusations hurled against me.”
“I will also face any complaint against me in any forum, especially in relation to domestic abuse accusations.
“I also reserve the right to seek redress for these defamations against my name and person. I have worked hard for the little that I have achieved in my life, and I have always done it with dedication and honor.
“I will fight for the honor of my and my family’s name and reputation because that is all we have,” lahad pa ni Paul.
Nag-sorry rin ang cager sa lahat ng mga taong nadamay at nasaktan sa kinasasangkutang kontrobersiya, “I apologize to all those who have been affected as a result of this issue, to my family, to my friends, to my team, Blackwater, and to my daughter and son.”
Sa Twitter idinaan ni Agatha ang mga akusasyon niya laban kay Paul. Narito ang bahagi ng kanyang naging pasabog na pahayag sa socmed.
“I really hate airing dirty laundry on social media, but I also don’t have it in me anymore to keep quiet just because I know that so many people empower this person, and enable him to be the abuser he is.
“As a go-getter, a woman with a strong personality, I couldn’t admit to myself that I had a lapse of judgment in this man who I defended to many people who told me to avoid.
“I’m swallowing my pride for my own safety and for my own accountability to not cover up for someone just because of love or fear.
“We won’t let them be the victors while we hide as silent victims. Please ladies, we can’t allow this to keep happening. Men should be accountable for their actions,” pahayag ni Agatha.
