SHOCKING REVELATION! Ian de Leon Breaks His Silence: “John Rendez is the Real Reason I Had to Walk Away from My Mom, Nora Aunor!”
Finally, after a long period of silence, Ian de Leon has finally revealed his thoughts on the long-standing public question: *Why does his relationship with his mother, Nora Aunor, seem to be strained?* And with this revelation, one name has resurfaced – John Rendez.
According to some close to Ian, tension has been building between him and his mother for a long time, not only because of their differences in perspective, but also because of John Rendez’s presence in the Superstar’s life. Although not directly accused, it cannot be denied that since Nora became close to John, it seems like a wall has gradually risen between mother and son.
In a private interview, Ian allegedly shared:
*”I don’t choose to stay away. But if space will give everyone peace, sometimes you have to let go even if it hurts.”*
Many were surprised by his story. This is an emotional opening that is rarely heard from a private person like him. He added that his respect for his mother remains, but as a son, he also cannot put aside the situations he witnessed that he said he could no longer ignore.
It is also no secret to the public that John Rendez, who has been close to Nora for several years, was once criticized by some netizens and even Ate Guy’s fans. Many are asking: *What is John’s real role in Nora’s life? And is he involved in the cracks in her relationship with the family?*
Although there is no direct accusation, it is clear from the hints that John played a part in the estrangement between mother and daughter. However, Ian also said:
*”This is not to discredit anyone. I just want people to understand that not everything you see on social media is the whole story.”*
This revelation has reopened the issue of the real dynamics of the Superstar’s family. And while the public asks questions, Ian remains silent, hoping that one day, there is hope that the wounds will heal and the old bond between them can be restored.
So far, Nora Aunor or John Rendez have not issued a statement regarding Ian’s remarks. But it is clear – the silent conflict in this family can no longer be completely hidden.
Lotlot de Leon defends brother Ian on issue with their mother Nora Aunor
Lotlot slams “judgmental” people who criticize Ian.
Lotlot de Leon defended his younger brother Ian de Leon on the issue involving him and their mother Nora Aunor.
Lotlot couldn’t help but react when a netizen mentioned that Ian didn’t show up to the birthday party that Nora organized for his actor son last weekend.
On December 11, 2020, Ian’s 45th birthday, Nora planned a birthday party for Ian.
Two hours before the celebration, Ian messaged his mother to say that he would no longer be able to attend because he was allegedly attacked by gout.
The Superstar was hurt by Ian’s actions, according to the story of Nora’s writer and close friend Rodel Fernando.
What was supposed to be a meeting and greeting between the mother and son was ruined after a long time of fighting.
LOTLOT: “PURE LIES JUST TELLED”
On Friday, Lotlot posted a birthday greeting to Ian on Instagram.
Attached to the post were some throwback photos of him and Ian when they were young.
Ian is the only biological son of Nora and her ex-husband Christopher de Leon.
Even before Ian was born, Nora adopted Lotlot.
After Ian was born, the Superstar adopted three more—Matet, Kiko, and Kenneth. In the comments section, a netizen said that he hoped Lotlot would also be able to attend if Ian and Nora ever meet.
Just like Ian’s relationship with his mother, it is no secret in showbiz that Lotlot and Nora have been at odds for a long time.
Another netizen responded, seemingly updated about Ian’s failure to show up at the birthday celebration Nora had prepared for him.
The netizen said: “Ian didn’t go, his mother even prepared it for him, he didn’t show up [crying face emoji]”
Based on Lotlot’s answer, it can be inferred that he was deeply upset about the written account of Ian’s non-appearance at the birthday party prepared by their mother.
Lotlot obviously didn’t like the judgment of others about the issue even though they didn’t know Ian’s reason.
Lotlot even called the side of those defending the veteran actress “lies.”
Lotlot’s response (published as is): “That’s the problem, you just read something and heard only one side and you immediately judge..
“You’ve already taken sides without knowing the real events.. don’t do that.. you’re just spreading lies.” Following this issue, Lotlot and Matet posted photos with Ian to express their love for their brother.
IAN AIRS HIS SIDE
Yesterday, December 13, through a YouTube video, Ian spoke to reveal what he called the “bitter truth” about why he didn’t show up to the birthday party his mother organized for him.
According to Ian, he and his mother had already spoken on the phone before the birthday party even happened.
According to Ian, he and his mother have already forgiven each other in that conversation.
Ian said he was happy about his mother’s birthday party plan for him, which he last experienced when he was a child.
In In Ian’s 38-minute video, he mentioned that he lost his appetite when his mother messaged him if he could post their phone greeting on his vlog.
It can be inferred that Ian does not agree with the fact that his greeting with his mother, Nora, who has a film being promoted for the Metro Manila Film Festival 2020, Isa pang Bahaghari, should be made public.
Although not directly, Ian seems to want to imply that he does not want their greeting to be used for publicity.
“This hypocrisy has to end,” Ian added.
In addition, Nora also wanted someone to come to the birthday party she prepared for Ian.
But Ian refused. He told his mother, “Sorry, Ma, I don’t think we will be comfortable.”
Ian repeatedly said that he wanted to meet his mother without anyone else and without cameras.
Although Ian did not mention any names, it is highly likely that the person he was referring to is Nora’s long-time companion, John Rendez.
Ian also insisted on loving his mother, but what they needed was Nora Cabaltera Villamayor, their mother, and not actress Nora Aunor.
Ian’s supposed birthday celebration turned out to be an advanced holiday party for Nora’s fans and friends.
Nora’s son Kenneth and his husband Sam also attended.
Meanwhile, today, December 14, Nora released the celebration that took place on Friday on her YouTube channel.
