All the major players that comprise this bizarre love triangle have said their pieces. Whether we take what Maris Racal, Anthony Jennings and the non-showbiz ex-girlfriend Jam Villanueva have said as bible truth, with a grain of salt, or as bereft of honesty, your choice is your choice. In the democracy that we live in, the sum of our choices and beliefs, as well as what we hold dear, just, moral and fundamentally true, makes up the fabric of who we are.

As of this writing, a new scandal brews, with the protagonists as Joshua Garcia and Elisse Joson, witnessed by an anonymous source, allegedly sharing a clandestine moment that included major lip and tongue action.

Whether true or not, this tempest a-brewing, the Racal, Jennings and Villanueva maelstrom is reduced as a thing of the past, gone with the wind and in 60 seconds.

I cannot help but wonder, why were most people obsessed with what transpired between MaThon and the bitter ex who spilled all the tea?

They are all young, entitled to do stupid things. They can always put the blame on their reckless youth and raging hormones regarding their dirt and mess, and move on from it. And yet the level of attention and opinions it gained eclipsed the ongoing tensions at the West Philippine Sea, the martial law in South Korea and the fear that Russia’s next invasion target is the United Kingdom.

Scorned

I cannot fully sympathize with the plight of Jam Villanueva because of a glaring fact that most seem to ignore — the vicious act that she screen-grabbed from Jennings’ mobile phone the private conversations between him and Racal, made it public, with the lame pretense that it was necessary to share the deceit for her ability to move on, and emotional and mental health.

The saying, “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned,” seems to apply here — this is her tale to tell and, yes, she did use the “victim” card successfully. The love team destroyed. Endorsements cutting off the contracts of the tandem.

Ms. Villanueva, you were with Jennings for the past seven years. For you must have seen and experienced all the red flags, but you chose to ignore it because you so claim that you love him. Prior to Racal, you also had your fair share of posting cryptic posts and your target then was Daniela Stranner who became Jennings’ pair.

For a relationship to foster and fail, it always takes two to tango. Please do not give me that “I sacrificed myself and my life for him for seven years, endured and ignored everything for him to make him happy, I am the wind beneath his wings” hoopla.

Spare me the drama. Only the gullible and unenlightened will readily accept your version of truth hook, line and sinker.

It was an act of vengeance. Your vendetta is a success. Happiest place that you are now in, right?
