Social media personality Xander Ford, formerly known as Marlou Arizala, trended on Twitter Thursday after an ex-girlfriend accused him of physical and sexual abuse in a public Facebook post.
In the online revelation by a certain Ysah Cabrejas, who said she was in a relationship with Xander, she exposed the alleged abuses she received from him.
Ysah said that she felt compelled to speak up because of Xander’s “lies”, presenting himself as the victim in their failed relationship.
“BINIGAY KO LAHAT NG GUSTO MO PERO GINAGO MO KO. AYAW KO NA SANA MAG SALITA PERO SOBRA NA. Pa-victim ka masyado, masyado kang sinungaling. Palagi mo sinusumbat sakin na kasikatan lang habol ko sa’yo.
“Hangal ka ba? Tinaggap kita buong buo sinugal ko na lahat kasi pinili kita, pinag tanggol kita sa lahat, kasi sabi ko kahit sukuan ka ng lahat ako hindi kita susukuan pero ano ginawa mo? Masyado mo kong tinake advantage hindi mo ba naisip yon? O wala ka lang talagang isip kasi sarili mo lang iniisip mo.”
Ysah also recalled crying and begging whenever he forced himself on her, adding that she would get bruises and he would get angry whenever she refused his sexual advances.
“BAGO AKO SUMUKO NAG TIIS MUNA AKO pinipilit mo’ko na may mangyari satin kahit na meron ako at kahit na AYAW KO. Pag hindi ako pumayag magagalit ka kaya nga ako nag kapasa gawa mo Kasi pinilit mo ko!! Hindi kaba naawa sakin? umiiyak ako sa harap mo, nag mamakaawa ako sayo, na tama na ayaw ko na pero di ka nakinig sabi mo BASTA MABUNTIS KITA KAHIT IWAN MO KO OKAY NA KO DON tanga ka ba?
“Anong klaseng boyfriend ka? Hindi lang isang beses nangyari yon! Yung una DAHIL LANG HINDI AKO PUMAYAG NA SABAY MALIGO SA’YO GRABI NA YUNG GALIT MO SAKIN. Pinamukha mo lang na KATAWAN lang habol mo sakin. Binabaliktad mo ko sa lahat para ano? Para malinis image mo? Nag papaawa effect ka pa. Kahit na ako yung mas kawawa! Tinapakan mo pagkatao ko eh!”
Ysah ended her Facebook post by saying she didn’t post it for fame but for her to finally air her side.
She also shared screenshots of past conversations wherein Xander admitted to the wrongdoing and apologized.

As of writing, Xander has not responded to these serious allegations. However, his talent agency Star Image Artist Management said in a Facebook post on Wednesday that they have sought their artist’s side on the sensitive matter.
In 2019, Xander’s talent agency suspended him indefinitely for alleged misbehavior. They took back the screen name Xander Ford from him and began a search for a deserving person “bearing the good qualities of an upcoming Idol and a good role model to all”.
