Pokwang asks Lee O’Brian for child support

Pokwang directly addressed her former partner, American actor Lee O’Brian, as she demanded child support for their six-year-old daughter Malia.

The actress-TV host said this through the comments section of Atty. Bernice Piñol-Rodriguez’s Instagram video, in which the latter explains the right of a single mom to ask for financial support from their estranged partners, even if their child is over 18 years old.

“Grabe, thank you [attorney]. Napakalaking tulong (This means a lot). God bless you po,” Pokwang wrote.

About a week later, Pokwang returned to the Instagram post and commented, “Hoy, [Lee O’Brian], ano na? Panay lang party at golf kasama ng mga pokpok? Mag-support ka hoy!”

(Hey, Lee, what do you plan to do? To continue partying and playing golf with your girls? Provide support for your child!)

O’Brian made no immediate public response to Pokwang, just as he had done before.

Pokwang and O’Brian, who had been in a relationship for around six years, welcomed Malia in 2018. The former couple confirmed their separation in July 2022.

The comedian filed in June 2023 a deportation complaint and cancellation of visa against O’Brian, claiming that he had been using a tourist visa even when he had been staying in the country for the past eight years.

O’Brian, in turn, issued a counter-affidavit, but the BI released a decision in December ordering the actor’s deportation.
