Carla Abellana Explodes in Rage, Curses Chella Grace Falconer—Alleged New Flame of Ex-Husband Tom Rodriguez
Manila, Philippines – In a fiery and unexpected turn of events, veteran actress Carla Abellana reportedly unleashed a torrent of anger towards beauty queen and aspiring actress Chella Grace Falconer, who has recently been linked to her ex-husband, Tom Rodriguez.
The shocking outburst, which allegedly involved expletives and verbal attacks, has gone viral on social media, stirring intense public interest, rampant speculation, and a tidal wave of support and criticism alike.
A Heated Confrontation Caught on Camera
The controversy ignited after a private video surfaced online, showing what appears to be Carla Abellana engaged in a heated confrontation with Chella Grace Falconer. The footage, though grainy and clearly recorded discreetly, captures Abellana yelling and reportedly hurling strong language at Falconer.
In the video, Abellana’s voice can be heard accusing Falconer of “destroying what little peace I had left” and calling her a “shameless homewrecker.” Witnesses say the confrontation occurred at a private gathering where both women were unexpectedly present.
Abellana’s management team has neither confirmed nor denied the authenticity of the video. However, multiple sources close to the actress have revealed that she has been under emotional stress since rumors of Rodriguez’s new relationship surfaced online.
The Chella-Tom Connection
Chella Grace Falconer, a former beauty queen known for her charisma and growing presence in the entertainment scene, has recently been linked to actor Tom Rodriguez, Carla’s ex-husband. While neither Falconer nor Rodriguez has publicly confirmed the relationship, netizens have pointed out a series of social media interactions—likes, comments, and cryptic posts—that strongly suggest the two are romantically involved.
Adding fuel to the fire, a photo allegedly showing Rodriguez and Falconer holding hands in a resort in Palawan went viral earlier this month. While fans of the actor were divided in their reactions, many empathized with Carla, who has remained mostly silent since her divorce.
Rodriguez, who left the country last year amid personal controversies, returned to Manila recently, reportedly to revive his career and reconnect with old friends. His return has coincided with increased sightings with Falconer, prompting widespread speculation about the true nature of their relationship.
A Painful History
Carla Abellana and Tom Rodriguez were once one of the most beloved celebrity couples in the Philippines. They met in 2013 on the set of the drama series My Husband’s Lover and began dating shortly afterward. In October 2021, they tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony attended by family, friends, and industry colleagues.
However, their fairy tale romance came to a screeching halt less than a year later when they publicly announced their separation. While neither party gave full details about the reason behind their breakup, hints of infidelity, emotional abuse, and trust issues were widely speculated upon.
In a rare interview last year, Abellana hinted at being emotionally “manipulated” and “betrayed,” though she refrained from directly accusing Rodriguez. Since then, she has focused on rebuilding her life, returning to work, and advocating for mental health awareness.
Public Reaction and Celebrity Support
As news of the confrontation broke, social media exploded with reactions. The hashtag #JusticeForCarla trended within hours, with fans expressing sympathy for the actress and condemning Falconer’s alleged relationship with Rodriguez.
“This woman went through hell and back, and now this? My heart breaks for Carla,” one user tweeted.
Others, however, urged caution, saying that no one truly knows what happened behind closed doors. “We don’t know the full story. Maybe Chella and Tom weren’t even together while he was still married. Let’s not judge,” another user posted.
Meanwhile, several celebrities and influencers voiced their support for Abellana. Fellow actress Marian Rivera commented on one post, saying, “Carla deserves peace and respect. No woman deserves to be humiliated or betrayed.”
TV host Bianca Gonzalez also weighed in: “This isn’t just chismis. It’s a reminder of how women in the public eye get judged more harshly for expressing their emotions.”
Silence from Chella and Tom
As of this writing, neither Chella Grace Falconer nor Tom Rodriguez has issued any statement regarding the confrontation or the rumors surrounding their alleged romance. Falconer has deactivated comments on her Instagram posts, while Rodriguez remains inactive on social media altogether.
Sources close to Falconer claim that she was “visibly shaken” by the encounter and is considering legal action for defamation and harassment. Whether this will escalate into a legal battle remains to be seen.
According to entertainment insiders, Falconer is being advised by her management team to stay silent and let the controversy pass. However, damage to her public image may already be taking root, as several brands she endorses have reportedly paused campaigns featuring her.
A Deeper Issue in Showbiz
This incident highlights the deeply personal struggles many celebrities face behind the glitz and glamour. The pressure to maintain a perfect image, especially after high-profile breakups, can often lead to mental and emotional breakdowns—something Abellana has spoken about in the past.
Industry psychologist Dr. Lara Santos weighed in, saying, “What we’re seeing isn’t just a ‘celebrity catfight.’ It’s emotional trauma manifesting in real time. When someone you loved moves on—especially with someone in the same industry—it can feel like public humiliation layered on top of personal grief.”
What’s Next?
Carla Abellana has yet to make an official statement regarding the incident. Her fans hope she will speak her truth, but many also wish she’ll take the time to heal.
Tom Rodriguez, whose career has seen ups and downs since the split, may soon be forced to address the swirling rumors if he hopes to make a successful comeback.
As for Chella Grace Falconer, her future in showbiz hangs in the balance. Will she confront the controversy head-on or retreat from the spotlight?
One thing is clear: in the world of Philippine showbiz, personal dramas often eclipse on-screen ones. And for the audience watching from the sidelines, this latest chapter is as heartbreaking as it is compelling.
