Bea Borres’ Candid Reflection On Her Brother’s Abusive Behavior
During her recent interview on Toni Gonzaga Studio on August 25, 2024, Bea Borres revealed that her brother had s*xually exploited her in the past.
She emotionally reflected on the struggles she reportedly experienced during her youth.
In the video, she told Miss Toni that her brother recorded her while she was bathing n*ked and sent the footage to his friends.
When Bea discovered the video on his phone, her brother apologized.
At that moment, she was roughly thirteen or fourteen years old.
When her parents asked Bea if she wanted to send her brother to jail, she answered, “No. There’s no need.”
She said:
“So, I want it to set free. Because I love my brother.”
She chose to forgive him, considering that his bipolar disorder could have led to his actions.
Before the incident, Bea talked about their childhood, saying:
Actually, growing up, we didn’t get enough guidance. And actually, now, I love my older brother so much. I am so proud of all his small achievements.
Regarding her brother’s behavior, she also mentioned that he took pictures of her in short clothes and touched her while she slept, causing her to yell loudly in anger.
That incident did not repeat afterward. Looking back now, she doesn’t feel pain anymore.
Previously, the memory would trigger chest pain and shaking, symptoms of trauma, and potentially PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder).
Her trauma includes not just her brother but also her parents’ problematic relationship, which she witnessed as a child.
She noted that her mother’s accumulated anger often resulted in physical abuse towards her and her brother, leading to bruises.
She disclosed that she found out in 2018 or 2019 that her mother had bipolar disorder.
She described how her mother’s behavior fluctuated wildly, shifting between anger and calmness within short periods.
Even with their imperfections, Bea loved her family deeply. The world appeared to fall apart when her father and mother passed away.
Her father died of COVID-19, and her mother passed away from a heart attack.
With the loss of her parents, Bea’s older brother became the stand-in for both parental figures.
Not much information is available about Jacob Kyle Borres, Bea Borres’ younger brother, besides that he is a teen.
