In a revelation that has left fans stunned and divided, the mother of internet superstar Zeinab Harake has confirmed the heartbreaking truth: she was personally forbidden by Zeinab herself from attending the wedding.

While speculations about the mother’s absence had been swirling for days, this is the first time the truth has been directly confirmed — and it came with deep emotion, hurt, and a mother’s tears.

“Hindi ako basta hindi naimbitahan — sinabi niya sa’kin mismo, ‘Wag kang pumunta.’”
(“It’s not that I just wasn’t invited — she told me directly, ‘Don’t come.’”)

A Mother’s Painful Confession

In a now-viral Facebook live video, Zeinab’s mother spoke emotionally about her daughter’s wedding, which had been the talk of the town for its luxury, star-studded guest list, and extravagant ₱2M wedding cake — but notably, without a single appearance from her own biological mother.

“Masakit bilang isang ina. Anong klaseng anak ang ayaw makita ang ina niya sa pinakamahalagang araw ng buhay niya?”

She revealed that she tried to reach out to Zeinab multiple times before the ceremony, but was met with silence and, eventually, the painful request not to attend at all.

Netizens in Shock: ‘Walang Ina ang Dapat Pagdaanan ‘To’

As the clip circulated, social media erupted with strong reactions:

#JusticeForZeinabMom

#LetMothersIn

#FamilyBeforeFame

“No matter the issue, she’s still your mother. This is heartbreaking.”
“Fame shouldn’t replace family.”
“She gave birth to you. She deserved at least a seat at the back.”

But others defended Zeinab, reminding everyone that not all mother-daughter relationships are healthy.

“We don’t know the full story. Maybe there’s a reason Zeinab made that choice.”
“If her peace means cutting ties, let her choose herself.”

Zeinab’s Camp: Still Silent

As of this writing, Zeinab Harake has not responded to her mother’s statements. She has continued posting post-wedding photos and content, all while ignoring the brewing storm surrounding her personal life.

Her silence is being interpreted in two ways:
– As strength and boundary-setting by some fans
– Or as emotional coldness by critics who feel her mother deserved at least acknowledgment.

What Went Wrong Between Zeinab and Her Mother?

While neither side has fully explained the root of the rift, previous interviews and cryptic social media posts from Zeinab have hinted at a rocky and painful family history.

In one vlog years ago, she said:

“Minsan, kahit kadugo mo, sila pa ‘yung unang sisira sa’yo.”
(“Sometimes, it’s your own blood who hurts you first.”)

That quote now haunts the context of her mother’s emotional confession.

Final Thought: A Wedding Filled With Love — and Silence

Zeinab Harake’s wedding was a dream to many — but for one woman, it was the loudest heartbreak of her life.

A wedding is supposed to unite families, but in this case, it also revealed a fracture that fame, flowers, and ₱2M cakes couldn’t cover.

And while Zeinab has every right to protect her peace, her mother’s words now echo in the hearts of millions:

“Hindi ko man siya kasama sa altar, anak ko pa rin siya… at mamahalin ko siya kahit masakit.”

Zeinab Harake didn’t invite her mother to the wedding, how true?
Is it TRULILI that the rumors that Zeinab Harake’s own mother, Mariafe Ocampo, was not invited to her grand wedding to basketball player Bobby Ray Parks Jr., are true?

A netizen is now making the rounds on social media claiming that he saw the social media personality’s mother at a convenience store in Cavite.

“I saw Zeinab’s mother on June 1 around 6pm-7:30pm at Alfamart here in Silang, Cavite. Two women came in, one older, dressed formally like she just came from an event.

“As she entered the door, she was saying things like (not exactly but the same thought) ‘I’m her own mother, Zeinab didn’t invite me to the wedding’, ‘Do they want to be famous?’ They will become more famous for what they do. I’ll post them on my Facebook, both of them, Zeinab and Ray Parks,” the netizen said in the comment. Netizen Ivana Alawi immediately checked Zeinab and her mother’s Facebook and TikTok accounts and confirmed that it was the vlogger’s mother that she saw.

Also based on the released vlog of her wedding, it can be seen that her mother was not there and only her father walked her down the aisle.

When we visited Zeinab’s mother’s Facebook account, it had cryptic stories.

“When people hurt you emotionally. Take it as a sign that they are not worth your presence. Distance yourself and don’t let them destroy your mental health

Your inner peace is more important,” the first story reads.

In the second story, Zeinab’s mother refers to “toxic people”.

“Toxic people will do you dirty, then try to convince people that you’re the problem.”

Meanwhile, Zeinab’s manager, Jhay Isidro, answered the question of why his beloved’s mother was absent from her big day.

“Not feeling well,” was his short answer. The rumors that there might be a misunderstanding between the two have only intensified because of Zeinab’s latest story.

“Listen to God, not them.”

Meanwhile, BANDERA is open to Zeinab’s side and clarification about her mother’s absence on her most important day.
