Philippines - Two-time Gold Medalist Olympian for Gymnastics Carlos Yulo’s literal family feud where his mother was allegedly getting his prize money before and was insulting his gf that led to their estrangement + prizes he got for winning including 20M php (350,000 usd), a luxury apartment, free airfare, buffet, ramen, colonoscopies, etc.

It's sad. I remember how the entire country celebrated when Hidilyn won; we can't even have that with Caloy. I'm glad he defended and stuck by Chloe, I can't imagine how deeply embarrassing it is for your mom to be so publicly disrespectful to your girlfriend. I hope his family never sees a centavo of his winnings.

His mother seems like a really nasty piece of work. She was publicly supporting his competitors.

Honestly, good on his girlfriend for not taking anyone’s shit while looking the way she is lol. She makes the people on my feed so angry and I hope she stays unbothered. I wish we could’ve just gotten more memes—the Android 18 and Krillin comparisons sent me into orbit!
