Exclamation point at hindi basta tuldok ang ginamit ni Nadia Montenegro nang wakasan nito ang isyu tungkol sa inilihim niyang pagkakaroon nila ni Baron Geisler ng anak noong 2006, habang nagsasama pa sila ni dating Caloocan City Mayor Macario “Boy” Asistio.
Si Nadia ang panauhin ni Boy Abunda sa Fast Talk with Boy Abunda nitong Biyernes ng hapon, Hulyo 19, 2024.
Sa panayam sa kanya, binanggit na niya ang pangalan ni Baron sa national television at inaming may anak sila.
Ang anak nilang si Sophia Angela ay magdiriwang ng ika-18 na kaarawan sa susunod na buwan.

NADIA MONTENEGRO: "MY STORY WAS STOLEN FROM ME."
Bago nagsalita si Nadia tungkol kay Baron, nagbigay muna siya ng kanyang opinyon tungkol sa kontrobersiyang pinaniniwalaan niyang pinagpistahan ng mga Pilipino.
“Siguro yung ugaling Pilipino na meron tayong ugali na ayaw nating naiisahan tayo.
"Itong istorya ng buhay ko, feeling siguro ng mga Pilipino, naisahan ko sila by not telling my story," pasakalye muna ni Nadia.
Sabay daing niya, “It was stolen from me. My story.
"I realized this, I saw this clip from Salma Hayek, when she said that ‘I own my mistakes. I own my own mistakes. I’ve always own my mistakes.'
“But it is my story to tell. Nobody has the right to tell my story.”

NADIA TAKES A SWIPE AT CRISTY FERMIN
Nagpatutsada rin si Nadia sa mga nagsasabing “vindicated” sila dahil lumabas ang katotohanan makalipas ang labing-anim na taon.
Wala mang binanggit na pangalan si Nadia, malinaw na ang pinatatamaan niya ay si Cristy Fermin.
Si Cristy ang nagsiwalat nang nanganak si Nadia sa isang sanggol noong 2007 na hindi si Boy Asistio ang ama.
Dismayadong pahayag ni Nadia, "Anyone who says that this person was vindicated for doing what she did to me 17 years ago, is sick.
"No one can ever be vindicated for ruining somebody’s life. Just for a news?
“I had seven children at that time and I had a husband who was sick.
"Did anyone ever consider that? What I went through? To put my family where I am right now? Where we are right now?
“We are whole and I am living with my head up high, with dignity.
"Because as soon I start pleasing God and not man, I found the right road. I took that road."

NADIA ADMITS to HAVING A DAUGHTER WITH BARON
Hanggang sa diretsahang tinanong ni Boy si Nadia, “Does Baron Geisler have a child with you?”
Pag-amin ni Nadia, “I’ve already admitted that. Yes, Sophia is turning 18 in August.
"Ang that’s why I am here, it’s not for views. Not to trend because that’s one thing I hate.
"But to put an exclamation [point] to everything.
“Seventeen years ago, may isiniwalat ang isang tao tungkol sa buhay ko na I don’t think naman has the right kasi nung time na yon, inaayos ko lahat.
“Hindi man lang na-consider, 17 years ago, kung ano ang pinagdadaanan ko, ng mga anak ko. Kung ano ang puwedeng mawala sa akin."
Tanong muli ni Boy, “Ano ang inaayos mo, anong pinagdadaanan mo seventeen years ago?
Lahad ni Nadia: “Itong sinasabi ko ngayon na ako’y nagkaanak.
"And it’s happening again now, na parang, wait, everybody’s feasting on something that I did seventeen years ago.
“That’s why sabi ko, this is my mistake. Kung nagkamali man ako, I don’t even wanna call it a mistake.
“Sophia is one of the most beautiful girls you can ever meet. Not just sa mukha niya, pati puso niya. This child has been through so much that she do not deserve.”

SON-DAUGHTER MEETING
Inilahad ni Nadia na hindi siya nakialam nang magkausap at magkita sina Baron at Sophia.
“Pinangakuan siya na, ‘Sige, magkikita tayo isang beses, pero walang makakaalam.’
“Sila ang magkausap, hindi ako nakikialam.
"Si Sophia at si Baron, they were always in contact, from social media, but never, like, hide. Walang ganoon."
Pero paliwanag din ni Nadia, natagalan ang pagkikita ng mag-ama dahil sa bisyo ng aktor.
“Huwag nating kalimutan na bakit ba tumagal nang ganito? Unlimited chances for someone to change. Give me a reason na ipaharap kita sa kanya na sober ka.
“The drunk messages. The drunk text to my daughter, do you think that would help her?
“You came out in an interview all of a sudden without even asking us? Even if you didn’t mention may name, sa tingin mo, hindi kami nabulabog?
“You didn’t think for awhile what would happen to your daughter?
“It’s an open secret. Dahil may inamin siya sa interbyu and then pinik-ap naman ng ibang masasamang elemento so ayun.”
SOPHIA'S STORY
Paano naapektuhan si Sophia?
“School, friends,” sagot ni Nadia.
"She was bullied. Someone all of a sudden just posted on the student council page a picture of Baron in jail, ‘Kaninong tatay ito?’
“Kailangan ko pa bang ikuwento kung ano ang pinagdaanan namin, just to keep our peace?
"This is my life. This is my children’s lives.
"This is my story. No one has the right to tell my story.
“My mistakes, I’ve always owned my mistakes.
"But let me say kung ano ang pagkakamali ko. Hindi ko kailangan ng spokesperson. I’ve always faced my battles. I’ve always fought them head on.
“Why? Coz I pray. I do things not because I wanna hurt people. I do things now because I want people to learn from my mistakes."
Patuloy ni Nadia: "Hindi ko ikinakalat ito para mag-entertain or para pagpiyestahan ninyo ang buhay ko, buhay ng anak ko.
“I want this to end because my daughter is turning 18 soon, and she does not need to come out of this world and answers question for her mother so I am putting an end to this now.
“So yes, I am happy. I have a child named Sophia and she does not need anything else in this world because she is complete.”
Nanindigan si Nadia na hindi raw siya sinungaling at noon pa man, alam daw ni Sophia na anak ito ni Baron.
“She always knew. Tingnan mo naman yung mukha, lagyan mo lang ng wig.
“And all these years, I never lied. If someone approached me and asked me, I would have answered, but nobody did.”
