Actor John Estrada has turned off the comments section on his Instagram account following a public exchange involving his wife, Priscilla Meirelles. The incident unfolded after John posted photos from a trip to Boracay, one of which he captioned, “What an awesome place.” The posts quickly garnered attention, but it was a particular comment from an Instagram user that sparked controversy.
The user commented, “Sino kasama mo Rigoooor? Si Lena or Marites?,” referencing John’s character Rigor from the popular television series “Batang Quiapo.” The comment implied curiosity about John’s companions during his trip. Priscilla Meirelles, John’s wife, responded directly to the comment, saying, “Si @ Lily Hallman_.” This comment, which tagged another user, seemed to suggest an accusation or a hint at John’s company during his Boracay visit.
Adding fuel to the fire, Priscilla further commented, “Looking very divorced Mr. Estrada,” a statement that hinted at marital discord. This public interaction between the couple drew significant attention from the media and fans alike, leading John to disable the comments on his Instagram posts.
This incident comes after Priscilla Meirelles openly discussed their marital issues in an interview with “Fast Talk With Boy Abunda” last May. During the interview, Priscilla admitted that their relationship had hit a rough patch the previous year. She shared that the experience had been a learning journey for her. “Unang-una, ang dami kong natutunan tungkol sa akin, sa sarili ko. Kasi very light akong tao, I’m very easy-going. And darating sa panahon na ang lahat ng tao may limit,” Priscilla explained, reflecting on the challenges they faced.
Priscilla emphasized the importance of setting boundaries and communicating one’s limits, highlighting that she had reached a point where she needed to assert herself. “Dumating ako sa limit, kailangan ko sabihin ‘yung isang bagay para naiintindihan ng kabilang side na tama na. Nangyari siya, and natutunan ko diyan, at the end of the day, ‘yung pinakaimportanteng bagay sa buhay natin is peace of mind,” she added.
The recent comments and the ensuing public reaction underscore the ongoing challenges within John and Priscilla’s marriage. The couple, who have been in the public eye for years, continue to navigate their issues amidst the scrutiny of fans and the media. John’s decision to turn off his Instagram comments reflects a desire to manage the situation privately, away from the public eye.
As the situation develops, it remains to be seen how the couple will address these challenges moving forward. For now, John Estrada’s Instagram account serves as a quiet testament to the couple’s ongoing efforts to find resolution and peace amidst their marital struggles.
