Issa Pressman’s Tearful Confession Leaves James Reid in Tears Too
ISSA PRESSMAN – The emotional tension was undeniable when Issa Pressman opened up about her struggles, leading to a heartbreaking moment that left James Reid deeply concerned.
After spending several years away from the spotlight, Issa Pressman is finally opening up as she takes part in an exclusive and heartfelt sit-down interview with Karen Davila. The much-awaited feature is set to premiere this Thursday, November 13, on @KarenDavilaOfficial on YouTube.
In the interview, Issa offers audiences a rare look inside the home she shares with her boyfriend, actor and musician James Reid. She also courageously discusses her identity as part of the LGBTQIA+ community, revealing her experience as a bisexual woman and how she has come to accept herself fully.
The conversation explores Issa’s three-year struggle with anxiety, depression, and self-harm, shedding light on the emotional battles she endured privately. She openly talks about the individuals who became her pillars during these difficult times — James, who supported her without hesitation, and her sister Yassi, who consistently provided strength.
Issa also revisits her and Yassi’s modest beginnings, remembering how they both stepped up to help their family when their father became unemployed and their mother had to work abroad. These hardships, she explains, played a significant role in shaping their resilience and deepening their family bond.
One of the most striking parts of the interview captures Issa breaking down in tears, with James visibly affected and struggling to keep his own emotions in check. This impactful moment leaves viewers questioning the depth of the pain that led to such vulnerability.
She further shares her story of love, recounting how she opted to remain quiet amid circulating rumors, hoping the untrue allegations would eventually disappear. For the first time, Issa confirms that she became James Reid’s second relationship after his 2019 split from Nadine Lustre — an experience that taught her important lessons about personal growth, understanding, and self-worth.
“The past is behind us and I’ve managed to see and be grateful for the growth this challenge brought,” she shares.
“It’s about healing, for me, ayokong may mawala pa ang isa pang magandang kaluluwa. Kailangan nang matigil ang bullying,” she adds.
Issa’s journey serves as a reminder that many people carry unseen burdens behind their smiles — and that compassion, courage, and love can bring hope even during life’s darkest moments. This interview seeks to encourage open discussions on mental health, bullying, and self-harm, motivating others to reach out, show empathy, and believe in the possibility of healing.
