Yasmien Kurdi Emotionally Reflects on the Bullying of Her Son

Yasmien Kurdi, a well-known actress and hands-on  celebrity  mom, recently shared an emotional interview on the program Fast Talk with Boy Abunda. This time, she spoke in more detail about her daughter Ayesha Zara Soldevilla’s situation and what she went through after becoming a victim of bullying at school.

It can be recalled that in 2024, Yasmien gained attention after she went public with the news that Ayesha had been bullied. This news immediately became a hot topic because many parents related to this situation. A few months after the initial revelation, Yasmien again went public to tell a clearer story about her daughter’s ordeal, including her attending therapy continuously for six months.

According to Yasmien, therapy has been a great help for Ayesha’s mental health, especially in addressing her panic and anxiety attacks.

“She has been in therapy for six months straight and it’s very helpful for her because of her panic and anxiety attacks. When she went to therapy, what we did was homeschool her right away because I pulled her out right away because that’s what I felt like I had to protect her. I had to remove her from that environment right away,” she  shared with Boy Abunda.

Yasmien added that this decision was not easy because they had to reorganize Ayesha’s routine and study system. However, she said that her daughter’s well-being was more important to her than any inconvenience or hardship that would come with it.

When asked what advice she would give to parents going through a similar situation, Yasmien emphasized the importance of open and ongoing communication between parents and children. For her, this is the most effective way for a child to know that they have a partner and support.

“I encourage open communication with the child all the time. Kids really need to tell their mommy and daddy everything. Don’t be afraid, don’t be shy, there’s nothing to be ashamed of here. You don’t have to be ashamed of anything,”  he said.

She also clarified that sometimes, children are afraid to open up about their feelings because they think they might not be understood or their feelings might be minimized. That’s why it’s important for parents to be sensitive and willing to listen, no matter how small or big the issue. Yasmien added that being available when your child needs you is a big deal for their emotional security.

Throughout the interview, Yasmien showed that despite the severe trials her family has experienced, it is still possible to rise up and continue stronger. For her, this is not just a story of hardship, but also proof that family support, understanding, and care are essential to overcoming such challenges.

Yasmien’s message is clear: the fight against bullying should not be a silent struggle for a child. It requires help, understanding, and most of all, an open heart and ear from parents so that they can fully protect and strengthen their child.
