Ethel Booba bares depression, miscarriage

MANILA, Philippines – Comedienne Ethel Booba revealed she was suffering from depression when she accidentally set fire to some appliances in her condo unit at Prince June Condominium last March 11, Friday.

Booba, Ethyl Gabison in real life, said she went out Thursday night with a friend because she and her boyfriend had an argument.

“Thursday ng gabi lumabas ako tapos niyaya ako ng friend ko. Itinodo ko ang inom ko. Nag-away kasi kami [ng boyfriend ko] tapos pinalayas ko siya. Umalis lang siya,” she said in an exclusive interview with Boy Abunda on “Showbiz News Ngayon.

At around 5 a.m., she went back home drunk. She said she was supposed to smoke inside her bedroom when she accidentally lit the lighter and unintentionally burned the lamp shade beside her bed.

“Umalis na si Bekimon, nasa kama ako. Ang lampshade ay malapit sa akin. Nagsindi ako ng yosi, na-lighter-an ko agad...lumiliyab na ang lampshade,” she recounted.

According to the actress, she will never burn her condominium unit because she is only renting the place. “Bakit ko susunugin eh nangungupahan lang ako doon,” she said.

Gabison said police dropped the arson charges on the day of the incident.

Miscarriage

In the same interview, Gabison bared that she was 6 months pregnant but had a miscarriage last month.

She shared harboring ill-feelings toward her friends because they were not around when she needed them most.

“Nakakapagtampo ang situation, ang mga friends ko...nalaglagan ako ng baby. Six months na siya. Lahat sila hindi naniwala. Ang sakit na wala kang suportang natanggap,” she tearfully said.

Gabison related that even her own boyfriend refused to believe her.

“Ang boyfriend ko...noong sinabi ko na pregnant ako, hindi siya naniwala. Naging way ko rin iyon para sabihin sa boyfriend ko na, kasama sa pabalik ng Romania, [pero] umalis pa rin siya. So feeling ko mag-isa lang ako,” she said.

According to the actress, that was the reason why she labeled her boyfriend a gay.

Earlier reports said the reason why Gabison set her unit on fire because she found out that her partner is gay.

At your best you are love. 

At your worst you are forgotten.

Makakabangon din sya just believe in herself and trust God that He has something best for her.
