Manila, Philippines — In the world of glitz, glamour, and high-paying stardom, even the brightest celebrities are not immune to family drama behind closed doors. Recently, entertainment reporter and talent manager Ogie Diaz dropped a bombshell that has left fans shocked, confused, and concerned: Sarah Geronimo’s salary was allegedly being split into four parts — all under the watchful eyes of her controversial mother, Mommy Divine.

The revelation came during Ogie Diaz’s trending vlog episode, where he opened up about rumors that have long surrounded Sarah’s finances and the intense control of her mother, even during her peak years as a singer, actress, and commercial endorser.

Ogie Diaz Speaks Out: “Hinahati raw sa apat ang sweldo ni Sarah!”

In his vlog, Ogie Diaz didn’t mince words:

“I was told by reliable sources that Sarah’s income — from concerts, movies, endorsements, and shows — wasn’t fully going to her. It was being split into four parts. Mommy Divine was allegedly the one managing that breakdown.”

According to Diaz, the four-way split allegedly included:

A portion for Sarah herself

A share for Mommy Divine

An amount reserved for the family or other siblings

Savings or investments controlled by the parents

Fans React: “Grabe, kawawa naman si Sarah!”

Fans of the Popstar Royalty didn’t hold back their emotions, especially those who have followed Sarah’s emotional journey of breaking free from her family’s tight grip — most notably during her secret wedding to Matteo Guidicelli in 2020, which reportedly sparked a dramatic confrontation between the groom and Mommy Divine.

Social media exploded with comments like:

“She worked so hard for years — and couldn’t even enjoy her full earnings?”

“No wonder she fought for her freedom. Let Sarah be happy!”

“She deserves every single peso of what she earned.”

The Long History of Mommy Divine’s Control

Mommy Divine Geronimo has long been known in showbiz circles for her strict, hands-on control over Sarah’s career — from song choices and projects, to approving her relationships and allegedly even dictating what kind of people her daughter could work with.

While some saw this as protective parenting, others criticized it as financial and emotional overcontrol — especially as Sarah reached her 30s but reportedly still needed permission for personal decisions.

Where Does Matteo Guidicelli Stand in All This?

Sources say that Matteo, now Sarah’s husband, has been a key figure in helping the singer slowly reclaim her financial independence and personal freedom. Though neither Sarah nor Matteo has publicly addressed this latest claim, fans believe the couple has been working quietly to rebuild Sarah’s life on her own terms.

“Matteo has always had Sarah’s back. He’s not flashy, but he protects her. That’s love,” one fan commented on Facebook.

Ogie Diaz Clarifies: “I’m Not Attacking — I’m Revealing”

Ogie Diaz made it clear that his intention wasn’t to bash the Geronimo family but to shed light on the reality many celebrities face behind fame.

“This is not unique to Sarah. A lot of stars experience this — where their own families end up controlling their money. It’s a tough truth in the industry,” Ogie said.

Sarah’s Silence: The Class Act Continues

As of writing, Sarah Geronimo has remained silent on the issue, staying true to her image of grace and quiet strength. Fans continue to support her music and performances, admiring how she continues to deliver excellence despite personal struggles.

Final Word: The Price of Stardom

Behind the lights, fame, and adoration lies a story of a woman who fought — not just for her career, but for her freedom, her earnings, and her own voice. Whether or not the full truth behind the salary-splitting allegations will ever be officially confirmed, one thing is for sure: Sarah Geronimo has earned every bit of the love and respect the public gives her.

💔 Is this the hidden cost of being a superstar daughter? Or is this just another chapter in Sarah’s battle for independence?

Only time — and perhaps Sarah herself — will tell
