'Life's too short for grudges': Maggie Wilson says she's not angry at ex Victor Consunji
Maggie Wilson says she doesn't harbor any anger toward estranged husband Victor Consunji.
The beauty queen answered several personal questions from her followers in an Instagram Q&A on July 20.
Asked if she was still mad at her ex and his partner, Rachel Carassco, Maggie said that she wasn't.
"I genuinely want the best for everyone, especially the kids," she wrote. "I just wish the same could be said in return."
"Life's too short for grudges[,] and frankly, bitterness is terrible for your skin."
One follower also asked Maggie how she was honestly doing, and the Binibining Pilipinas World 2007 titleholder answered candidly.
"It's a strange thing to feel both sadness and joy at the same time. Sometimes I catch myself feeling guilty for being genuinely happy or excited about something, especially when others expect me to still be weighed down by what's happened," she said.
"But the truth is, I'm in a really good place right now, and I'm truly excited and grateful for the new opportunities unfolding in my life," she said.
In January, Maggie received a decision from a court denying a petition for a Temporary and a Permanent Protection Order under the Anti-Violence Against Women and their Children Act filed by Victor against her.
She said that the petition was intended to stop her from being able to communicate or see her son, Connor, who has been staying with her estranged husband since their separation, on the basis that she is a "threat" to his mental and physical well-being.
Maggie also gave some advice to anyone going through a season of hitting rock bottom and rebuilding their life.
"I had every odd stacked against me. I lost my son, the life I built, and everything I had worked so hard for. And in the midst of that pain, I learned something unexpected[:] Sometimes, the people you least expect to show up for you and the ones you thought would stand by you, turn away," she shared.
She added that it all comes down to mindset. "You come to understand that wat's lost isn't the end. It can all be rebuilt[:] relationships, work, a home, and a future with new goals, new strength, and a clearer purpose."
Maggie announced her separation from Victor in 2021 after 11 years of marriage.
