Calvin Abueva’s Wife Accuses Him of Abuse
Calvin Abueva was banned from the PBA in 2019 after his wife made serious abuse allegations. During a livestream on Calvin’s Instagram, Sam Abueva provided photographs of supposed CCTV video as proof to back up her claims. Sam, who was 32 weeks pregnant, voiced anxiety about the pregnancy as a result of Calvin’s behavior.
She described situations in which Calvin, when inebriated, placed his weight on her tummy, resulting in her hospitalization due to spotting. She also described a prior instance in which she resisted Calvin’s sexual advances because she was bleeding and feared a miscarriage. These charges surfaced when one of their children observed Calvin’s actions, causing Sam to speak out. Similarly, she recalled her kid waking up in panic and seeking comfort from her, terrified of their father’s behavior.
Furthermore, Sam accused Calvin of adultery, claiming that he had extramarital encounters with many women, which resulted in babies. Calvin responded by denying all charges on a different Instagram account, characterizing them as falsehoods. He also stated that he and Sam had already split. Despite the serious nature of the charges, Calvin looked unconcerned and even mocked Sam, questioning her delight in a vacation to Boracay without him.
