Jennylyn Mercado has accused her former boyfriend, actor Dennis Trillo, of verbally and physically hurting her, resulting in their break-up in March of this year, "The Buzz" reported Sunday.
In her tell-all interview with "YES!" magazine, Mercado narrated how she was physically mishandled by Trillo on the night of March 5 at the actor’s condo unit in Mandaluyong City.
She said what started out as a petty argument developed into a full-blown fight wherein Trillo had hurled expletives and insults at her. According to the actress, Trillo repeatedly called her stupid.
She said when she slapped him, Trillo grabbed her and pulled her toward the sliding glass door and then threw her downstairs. She said her hip hit the floor but the actor did not attempt to help her.
She said she left the place after the incident.
When sought for reaction, Trillo sent this message to "Yes!" magazine: "I choose not to speak because there is nothing to speak about. The truth is my relationship with Jen just didn't work out."
Days following their break-up, Mercado took a special interest in Japanese martial art jujitsu. Many suspect that this is because of the incident with Trillo.
In her earlier interview, Mercado admitted she is learning jujitsu for self-defense.
She met Luis Manzano, whom she is now dating, in one of her classes.
