Host Marc Nelson has come under fire after he testified against his son Connor’s mother, Maggie Wilson. Maggie is the estranged wife of real estate mogul Victor Consunji, and their son Connor is now 12. Maggie and her son have not been together or seen each other in over three years.

The issue came when Maggie began making a statement on her Instagram Stories, where she referred to Marc testifying against her. According to Maggie, Marc had testified that his son was experiencing emotional stress, anxiety and discomfort due to his actions. However, according to her, the family court in the Philippines has rejected this.

Maggie’s post reads in part: “Despite several testimonies including Marc Nelson, who testified on behalf of the petitioner Victor Consunji that my son has suffered emotional stress, anxiety and discomfort due to me, all of which have been denied by me.” The Family Court of the Republic of the Philippines is unfortunate, this case also brought my son to court at the age of 12”.

Because of this, there was widespread reaction from netizens, who were not happy with what Marc did, especially since he and Maggie have been friends for a long time and even co-hosted the Metro Channel show “Beached”. The seemingly disagreement between Marc and Maggie caused many questions and comments from netizens.

According to the reaction of netizens, they were shocked by Marc’s decision to speak out against Maggie, who is also a mother who has gone through heavy emotional challenges. Many of them expressed their support for Maggie, especially given the pain of being separated from her son. Some even said that, as a father or godfather, I wish Marc would have chosen to protect the relationship between mother and son and not interfere in this matter.

Here are some reactions from netizens: “Marc Nelson is so wrong! Period!” Others, as a mother, felt the pain Maggie felt at being separated from her son.

“As a mother, my heart goes out to Maggie. The pain of being separated from a child for so long is something no one should have to go through. I can’t imagine the years of missing out on the simple joys of watching her child grow up and now this betrayal only makes things harder for her.

Marc’s actions did not escape criticism from netizens, many of whom felt that instead of being part of the separation between mother and son, he should have chosen to protect their relationship.

“I can’t help but feel that Marc should have protected that bond instead of tearing it apart. Whatever his reasons were, it wasn’t the best thing for Maggie. And that’s what makes this so painful — not just for Maggie, but for anyone who understands the depth of a mother’s love and the pain of separation,” one commenter wrote.

Another commenter said, “Why would you testify against a mother who just wants to see her child and nothing else?”

Some criticized that as the godfather, Marc had a responsibility to be both the child’s guardian and teacher, not just legally but also emotionally in his relationship with his mother. Some said that they wished Marc had understood the situation of the child and the mother better, and thought about Connor’s well-being instead of speaking ill of Maggie.

It’s also worth noting that, alongside the negative comments, there were also those who felt that Marc should only testify if it was in the child’s best interest. The issue of custody and the relationship between Connor’s parents is a sensitive one, so it’s hard to say which testimony is correct. However, for most netizens, showing support for Maggie and protecting the mother-daughter relationship is more important, especially given the legal issues they are facing.

The issue continues to be a hot topic on social media today, and many continue to debate the right view on the matter. Such controversies serve as a reminder to everyone, especially public figures, that their every action has a profound impact on their personal lives and the lives of those around them.
