“People only saw our happy moments. What they didn’t see was the silence, the struggle, the sadness,” she confessed.

After years of keeping her pain private — out of love, respect, and fear of public scrutiny — Cherry Pie says she now feels empowered to speak for women who might be enduring the same kind of emotional wounds in silence.

Edu Manzano’s Side

Edu Manzano’s team responded swiftly with a brief statement:

“We are saddened by these accusations. Edu continues to respect and care for Cherry Pie. No further comment will be made at this time.”

While the former couple has not announced any legal steps, fans and netizens are divided — some praising Cherry Pie’s courage, while others call for fairness and sensitivity for both parties.

A Complicated Love, A Gentle Goodbye

Despite the emotional revelations, Cherry Pie insists that she and Edu have remained civil — even friendly — after their breakup.

In a press conference for her film Firefly, she described Edu as a “good person” and shared that they still “love each other in a different way.”

“At this stage in my life, I’ve learned that happiness can’t depend on another person. I have to be whole for myself,” she said, smiling despite the pain.

She admitted the breakup wasn’t easy, but emphasized that she’s in a better place now, choosing self-love and healing over resentment.

“With or without a partner, I’m okay. Let’s just be thankful for what we have. Let’s love and support one another,” she said, echoing the life lessons she’s embraced after the pandemic.

Moving Forward

Cherry Pie’s brave revelation isn’t just about her and Edu — it’s a reflection of what many women go through behind closed doors. Her decision to speak up has empowered others and started conversations around emotional abuse and silent suffering in relationships.

Her story is a reminder that strength doesn’t always roar — sometimes, it speaks softly, after years of silence.
