Pokwang says she wants to be free of ex-partner Lee O'Brian

Pokwang said she wants to be free of her ex-partner Lee O'Brian and that's why she filed a deportation case against him. 

In Nelson Canlas's report on "24 Oras," Tuesday, the "TikToClock" host said among her complaints against Lee are financial abuse, intimidation, abandonment of their daughter Malia.

Pokwang and Lee split in 2021, but the American remains in the Philippines.

"Gusto ko na lang ng kalayaan, 'yung alam ko na wala na siya dito," Pokwang said.

According to Pokwang's lawyer, Atty. Rafael Vincente Calinisan, Lee is misleading the laws of the Philippines as he takes on jobs without a work permit.

"So nagkukunwari siyang turista pero ang ginagawa naman talaga niya is nag-e-empleyo o naghahanap ng trabaho dito sa ating bansa," he said.

"Ngayon na nagkasira sila ni Madam Pokwang, sadly, does it really make it right that he stays here?"

Pokwang said Lee gets the income from their YouTube channel and he has not looked in on Malia for some time even though she grants him visitation rights.

GMA Integrated News has reached out to Lee for comment but he has yet to reply as of posting.
