Five hours after his wife\u2019s statements, Abueva conducts a live session on his new Instagram account @abuevacalvinthebeast, denying his wife\u2019s statements. (File Photo<\/a>: PBA<\/a>\/Facebook<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>Amidst his indefinite suspension from the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA), Phoenix Pulse Fuel Masters\u2019 player Calvin Abueva finds himself in hot waters once again as his wife Sam came out on social media accusing the forward of abuse and infidelity last Sunday, July 29.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sam Abueva initially opened up through the basketball professional\u2019s original Instagram account, @calvinabuevaofficial, which has more than 49,000 followers. The wife of the player for nine years posted screenshots from CCTV footage, and when asked by fans about the meaning behind the images, Sam states, \u201c[Calvin] has neglected his responsibilities as a father to his children.\u201d In an Instagram live session on the same day, Sam explains the physical abuse that she and her children were experiencing from Abueva, his infidelity by impregnating two other women, and his lack of communication with his family as a whole, explaining in Filipino to the seven-time PBA All-Star\u2019s fans, \u201cI\u2019m just telling my side so he won\u2019t fool you guys any longer.\u201d She also reveals that she was just released from the hospital three weeks ago due to health conditions that threatened the third trimester of her pregnancy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Five hours after his wife\u2019s statements, Abueva conducted a live session on his new Instagram account @abuevacalvinthebeast, denying his wife\u2019s statements, saying in Filipino, \u201cHey guys, to the followers of my old IG account, don\u2019t believe in [what Sam is saying] because we\u2019ve broken up and I have no communication with her. She\u2019s the one using my old Instagram account.\u201d He continued, \u201cI\u2019m okay with losing my career and family because it\u2019s not me who did wrong,\u201d elaborating that Sam also committed infidelity.<\/span><\/p>\n

In response to the issue, Phoenix team manager Paolo Bugia told the media, \u201cProfessional clubs do not really meddle in domestic and private affairs of players. In the same manner, teams still expect their players to carry themselves with the utmost professionalism that goes with their job on and off the court.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

However, after being fined by PBA Commissioner Willie Marcial a total of P70,000 – P50,000 for clotheslining Terrence Jones and P20,000 for inappropriate behavior towards a fan during a Phoenix-Blackwater game – and being caught participating in a \u201cligang labas\u201d game in Montalban, the 31-year-old now awaits for the final verdict from both the professional league and the Games and Amusement Board (GAB) on whether or not he\u2019ll be able to continue his duties for the Fuel Masters.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
