The Confession That Set the Internet Ablaze

During a radio interview turned viral video clip, PJ Abellana didn’t hold back when asked about his relationship with Tom Rodriguez. With raw honesty, the veteran actor spoke of an incident during the height of Tom’s marital issues with Carla.

“There was a situation where Tom almost gave in,” PJ said. “He was tempted. It could’ve turned into something that destroyed him further. But he stopped. He held back.”

The host, caught off guard by the comment, immediately asked for clarification. That’s when PJ confirmed: “Yes, I’m talking about a one-night stand. It almost happened, but Tom chose not to go through with it.”

He continued, “I don’t condone the temptation. But I know that in that moment, he chose not to become someone he wasn’t. That counts for something.”

A Look Back: The Tom-Carla Fallout

Tom Rodriguez and Carla Abellana were once regarded as one of the most beloved celebrity couples in the Philippines. After years of dating, they tied the knot in a glamorous wedding in 2021. But their marital bliss was short-lived.

Less than a year later, rumors of infidelity, emotional disconnect, and betrayal began circulating. In mid-2022, the couple separated, shocking their fans and the entire showbiz community. Tom left the Philippines soon after and stayed mostly out of the public eye, while Carla remained silent about the real cause of the split.

Though neither party provided a detailed explanation, cryptic social media posts and vague interviews kept the public guessing. Many believed Tom had cheated. Others claimed the issues were deeper than infidelity. But PJ Abellana’s recent interview may have just added a new dimension to that speculation.

Why Speak Now?

Many were puzzled by the timing of PJ Abellana’s revelations. Why choose to speak out now, almost two years after the breakup?

According to PJ, he has remained mostly silent about the incident to protect his daughter and respect the privacy of both parties. But he now believes that some form of truth must be shared for healing to happen.

“I’m a father. I watched my daughter break down. I saw Tom lose his way. I stayed quiet for a long time because I didn’t want to worsen the situation. But I also believe people need to understand that these are human beings, not just celebrities. They make mistakes. They also fight to do the right thing.”

The Moment That Could’ve Ruined Everything

In PJ’s account, the incident happened during a time when Tom was emotionally unstable and struggling with the unraveling of his marriage. He had allegedly been out with friends when he met a woman who made a move on him. The chemistry was there, and the opportunity was too easy.

“But in the middle of it, Tom stopped. He told her he couldn’t do it. He walked out,” PJ shared. “He came to me the next day, and he was crying. He felt ashamed of himself, even though he didn’t go through with it.”

According to PJ, Tom wanted to be honest, at least with himself. “He didn’t want to lie. He didn’t want to destroy what little was left. But by then, it might’ve already been too late.”

Netizens React

As expected, social media had a lot to say about the unexpected confession.

“Tom may not have done it, but the intention was there. That still hurts.” — @karlafan_21

“At least he had the decency to stop. That shows character.” — @truthseekerPH

“Why is PJ even talking about this now? Is he defending Tom or throwing him under the bus?” — @showbizunfiltered

“If this is his way of giving closure, it’s confusing. I feel for Carla more than ever.” — @heartbreakchronicles

Opinions remain divided. Some view Tom’s decision to stop the potential one-night stand as an act of restraint, maturity, or guilt. Others believe that simply being in that situation was already a betrayal.

Where Are They Now?

Tom Rodriguez has remained low-key since his split with Carla. He has kept a relatively quiet life in the U.S., occasionally posting updates about his personal wellness and growth journey. He has not been active in the Philippine entertainment scene, and efforts to reach him for comment on PJ’s revelations have so far been unsuccessful.

Carla Abellana, on the other hand, has been focusing on her career. She has appeared in several TV projects, endorsed multiple brands, and maintained a strong social media presence—though still noticeably private about her personal life.

As for PJ Abellana, this interview may mark a turning point in how the public views the complicated triangle involving him, his daughter, and his former son-in-law.

An Act of Redemption or an Unnecessary Confession?

Whether PJ Abellana’s motive was to clear Tom’s name, offer a moment of redemption, or simply share his truth, one thing is clear—his words have stirred emotions, reopened wounds, and sparked conversations about accountability, forgiveness, and healing.

Some see it as an overdue explanation. Others call it an unnecessary spotlight on an already painful chapter.

In the world of celebrity relationships—where every move is analyzed, criticized, and magnified—even the act of holding back can become headline news.

One night. One choice. One confession.
And once again, the tangled lives of Tom Rodriguez, Carla Abellana, and PJ Abellana are back in the spotlight.

Only time will tell if this revelation brings closure—or reignites a fire that never truly died out.
