Moira Dela Torre has broken her silence on claims that she uses a ghostwriter to pen her songs and that she had also been unfaithful to her estranged husband, Jason Hernandez.
In a statement posted on her social media account, the 29-year-old singer-songwriter expressed disappointment in having to “explain and defend my decision to leave a marriage, as well as justify the state of my mental health.” It was made in response to composer Lolito Go alleging that “95 percent of Moira’s hits” were written by Jason and that she never paid him for it.
“It is truly disheartening that I am being questioned and asked to prove my worth as a songwriter and artist. However, despite the overwhelming circumstances, I feel a strong inner calling to stand up for myself and protect my integrity,” Moira said.
“I want to set things straight once and for all. Let me be clear: I have never employed a ghostwriter,” she continued. “Throughout my career, I have been fortunate enough to collaborate with immensely talented artists who treat each other with respect and acknowledge the contributions we all bring to the table. Every song I have created is a true reflection of my deepest emotions and experiences.”
Moira added that she is willing to share “evidence” of her conversations and recordings of her songs that will refute the “harmful accusations.”
She then stressed that she had never cheated on Jason. “It is unfair that I find myself in a position where I have to defend my name and even explain why I did not deserve to be cheated on.”
Ending her statement, Moira said that her current focus is healing from the trauma that she still carries.
“This process is not only essential for my own well-being but also for the well-being of those dear to me who have unwaveringly stood by my side throughout these challenging times – my loving family, my dedicated band, my friends, who have all been my source of emotional support. Their presence has been my anchor, grounding me during these turbulent moments.
“I hold onto hope that, one day, when the dust settles and clarity is restored, I will have the capacity to embrace a love that is faithful and genuine. I take solace in the knowledge that I am Moira-an artist-who will bravely navigate these challenges and emerge stronger than ever.”
Moira and Jason married in 2019. They announced their separation in May 2022 wherein Jason admitted that he had been unfaithful during their relationship.
Moira’s team also seems intent on filing charges against Lolito Go after celebrity lawyer Joji Villanueva Alonso made a post about advising his unnamed showbiz client should file a case against an unnamed person “discrediting and maligning” his client.
Prior to this, Jason went viral for posting cryptic photos with another woman which turned out to be promotional material for his new song “Ikaw Pa Rin,” a song about yearning for a former lover.
