Abegail Rait, the alleged lover of Francis Magalona, has issued an apology for the pain her revelation has caused to the Magalona family, although she maintains that the late rapper’s civil status was “single,” and he was already separated from his wife, Pia Arroyo-Magalona when their secret relationship began.
Weeks after introducing herself and Gaile Francesca, her alleged love child with Francis, to the public, Rait spoke up to defend themselves amid the hate remarks thrown at them.
“Homewrecker, kabit, mistress—lahat na ng adjective na nagamit niyo, tanggap ko po. Pero ang ipinakikiusap ko sana ay ‘wag naman ‘yung anak ko,” Rait said in her YouTube vlog on Friday, November 3.
“Aminado po ako, tao lang ako na nagkakamali, nasasaktan, pero imbes na iiyak ko ay ipinapakita ko sa anak ko na kaya ko siyang ipagtanggol. Sana po maintindihan niyo ako bilang ina na nagsasalita para sa kanyang anak,”
When Abegail Rait revealed the details of their secret relationship with Francis Magalona, it sparked deep opposition and judgment from various sectors of society. Many netizens and fans of the late rap icon expressed their disgust and anger towards her. There were doubts about her motives for disclosing their relationship, and many suspected ill intentions.
Despite all of this, Rait continues to deny being a “homewrecker” or having an affair with Francis while he is married to Pia Arroyo-Magalona. According to her, the late rapper was already separated from his wife before their secret relationship began. However, this has not silenced the supporters of the Magalona family who continue to accuse Rait of breaking up the family.
It cannot be denied that this incident has caused deep emotional wounds for the people involved. On one hand, it shows a mother willing to speak up for the well-being of her child, someone who doesn’t want her child to be dragged into this controversy. On the other hand, many still do not accept Rait’s explanation and continue to criticize her for coming out in public.
In the end, this issue highlights the importance of private life and the responsibility of everyone in safeguarding the well-being of children amid challenges and controversies in society.
