“Queen Sawsawera” RR Enriquez reacted to the recent online exchange between mother and son Izzy and Andrei Trazona by revealing her relationship with her transgender sibling.
The TV personality took to social media to express her two cents about the familial issues of former Sexbomb Girls member Izzy Trazona with her son Andrei who recently revealed his drag persona to the public.
In a lengthy Instagram post, RR reposted screenshots of the mother and son’s social media posts penned to each other creating a rift between them.
Seemingly relating to the issue, RR shared about her relationship with her transgender sibling, Melissa Enriquez.
“I have a transgender sibling. Sobrang favorite ko ang mga gay, because my best friend when I was in high school was a gay. That’s why when my brother was born, I forcedly made him a gay,” she started.
She continued, “Totoo yan. Baby pa lang sya tnreat ko na sya na babae. Minimake upan, dinadamitan ng pambabae at pinapa split. Pinalaki ko sya as a sexbomb dancer? Basta gusto ko talaga na gay sya. And true enough naging trans nga sya.”
RR also admitted that she “felt guilty” influencing her sibling to be gay which prompted her to “force” him to “become a man”.
“Umabot kami sa nag aaway na kami kasi nga ayaw ko na sya maging gay. I was desperate and tried to bribe him pa to attend a bible study every week in exchange of shopping ng mga shoes,” RR shared.
“But when he talked to me and say how hurt he was and how painful it is for him to be judged and forced to attend bible study, para hindi maging gay… NATAUHAN ako..”
By praying and asking God to give her compassion for her “brosis”, RR was relieved to finally accept and support Melissa with her passion and gender preference.
In her own words, the influencer gave pieces of advice to parents and guardians to give their children the freedom they need.
“My advice is let them do whatever they want to do. Let them fly with their own wings. Hinayaan din ako ng parents ko na lumipad at mag desisyon para sa buhay ko… Tama or mali one day our mess will become a message to inspire everyone,” RR said.
“He’s still young and maybe wants to experience or experiment life. Let him. Make a stand for what you believe but always choose compassion and love. Correct him with love. Guide him with Love,” she added.
“Hindi tayo ang makakapag pabago sa kanila. Si God lang talaga. Our job is to pray for them and guide them with love and compassion. You can plant a seed and God will be the one to water it.”
Melissa reacted under the comments section of RR’s post, showing off their close bond, “Tseh. ? hahahahhaha welcome back to manila tara na at magplastikan. ? pero sana man lang after mo sabihin 2012 HER mo na ko. CHARET.”
RR gained recognition as a host in Willie Revillame’s variety programs Wowowee and Wowowin, together with Valerie Concepcion and Mariel Rodriguez-Padilla.
