<div><em><strong>Trigger warning: This story mentions allegations of intimate partner violence.</strong></em></div><div><br/></div><p>MANILA — DJ Jellie Aw’s allegations went viral on Wednesday after she posted photos of her injuries online and claimed that she nearly died from the beating.  </p><p>She said the incident stemmed from a confrontation with Ignacio after they met with friends, including a fellow DJ whom her fiance was allegedly jealous of.  </p><p>“Pinagselosan niya po ‘yung ka co-DJ ko na bakit ko raw parang bineso, niyakap ko raw. Ang ginawa ko po kasi nung nakita ko siya, parang hug po na pa-beso. Ganun po kasi kaming lahat sa work namin. Kumbaga sa amin, wala lang naman po ‘yun,” she said.</p><p>“Sobrang seloso po kasi kahit maliit na bagay, talagang pinapalaki niya. Kahit po sa work ko, kapag may kumakaway sa akin sa gig, nagagalit siya.”</p><p>She said Ignacio began assaulting her inside the car on their way home, causing injuries on her head, eyes, ears, and neck.  </p><p>She said she could not recall how long the attack lasted but managed to seek help when their RFID failed at the toll gate.</p><p>“Hindi nagbukas kaagad ‘yung barriers ng toll gate kaya nakapag-open siya ng window at sumigaw siya ng tulong. Nakatakbo siya, kaya tinulungan siya,” according to Atty. Yehlen Agus, chief of the NBI Violence Against Women and Children Division (VAWCD).</p><p>“Then, natakot din ‘yung kanyang boyfriend kaya tumakbo din kaya nagamit niya ‘yung kotse niya para pumunta ng hospital,” she added. </p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/news/nation/2025/2/12/dj-jellie-aw-sinaktan-umano-ng-kanyang-nobyong-si-jam-ignacio-2301">DJ Jellie Aw sinaktan umano ng kanyang nobyong si Jam Ignacio</a></div><div class="twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered" style="display:flex;max-width:550px;width:100%;margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px"><iframe id="twitter-widget-0" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" style="position:static;visibility:visible;width:441px;height:610px;display:block;flex-grow:1" title="X Post" src="https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1890217286193352856&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com%2F%23%2Fworkspace%2Fmonitoring%3Fitem%3Durn%3Anewsml%3Aod2-workbench-api.abs-cbn.com%3A2025-02-14T01%3A54%3A20.203568%3Aae6f4cb9-707c-4945-8cff-0fbcb26f790f%26action%3Dedit&amp;sessionId=01b778689dc2ed4fc7b2a47ad4a87a83fb0e5b07&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px" data-tweet-id="1890217286193352856"></iframe></div><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charSet="utf-8"></script><div><br/></div><p>Deeply traumatized by the incident, Aw said she wanted Ignacio to be held accountable.</p><p>“Madali lang naman magpatawad e pero ‘yung ginawa niya sakin, hindi ko makakalimutan ‘yun.
