Inamin ng anak ni GMA trivia master at TV host Kuya Kim Atienza na si Emmanuelle “Emman” Atienza na nakaranas umano siyang abusuhin ng kaniyang yaya noon.
Sa latest episode ng “Toni Talks” noong Linggo, Nobyembre 24, sinabi ni Emman kung paano siyang inabuso ng kaniyang yaya na madalas niya noong kasama dahil parehong abala ang kaniyang mga magulang.
“My yaya was my companion a lot of the time. She was abusive in more ways than one. So one of the ways was verbal,” saad ni Emman.
“She’d always insult me, say the same things those people were saying on Twitter. You’re useless, disappointment, stupid, stupid,’” wika niya.
Dagdag pa niya, “She kind of gave me these paranoid beliefs. So one thing was I couldn’t be in rooms alone, any enclosed space because I had this feeling that I’m gonna die.”
Ayon kay Emman, naigpawan lang daw niya ang takot na ito noong siya ay umedad ng 14-anyos.
Kaya naman sumailalim siya sa therapy noong nasa pagitan siya ng edad na 12 at 13 dahil sa pakikipagbuno niya sa kaniyang mental health issues.
“My mental health got to the point where it was so bad that hindering my ability to function on a day-to-day basis,” ani Emman.
Matatandaang naging trending ang pangalan ni Emman sa X (dating Twitter) noong Setyembre dahil sa “guess the bill” challenge na ginawa nila ng mga kaibigan niya.
