Priscilla Meirelles said she's "had enough" as she shared her thoughts about the value of respect and having time for self-reflection amid her marital problems with John Estrada.

The former beauty queen, who is currently in Brazil with her daughter and mother, went live on Facebook on July 15 while they were heading to the latter's condo unit.

She was giving shoutouts to commenters when one of them asked whether Estrada has someone "new" again.

Without directly responding to the question, Meirelles said, "Ay, ano ba 'to," before laughing.

"Naku po. Ganun talaga 'yung buhay. Wala eh. Ganun talaga," she said.

At one point, a commenter also asked about a supposed divorce from Estrada.

Without addressing it directly or mentioning his name, Meirelles replied in jest, "Wala pa tayong divorce sa Pilipinas, 'di ba? Paano tayo? Joke lang."

ICYMI, Estrada shared photos of his vacation in Boracay when Meirelles, in response to his follower asking who he's with, name-dropped a certain "Lily Hallman."

She also commented, "Looking very divorced, Mr. Estrada," before he turned off the comments section of his post.

'I had enough'

As Meirelles was greeting those who tuned in to her livestream, she talked about the value of respect.

"Respeto lang 'yung gusto ko sa kahit sino," she said. "Especially kaming mga babae, we deserve respect... palagi kong binibigay ang respect sa mga tao."

Meirelles noted that it is not too much to ask as it's "easy" to give. "Respect is the most important thing that exists. It's more important than love."

She also explained to her followers that she's in Brazil to enjoy and make her daughter know more about their culture. "I'm just vacationing and I'll be back home soon."

Ultimately, Meirelles shared she went there for self-reflection. "I need some time for myself to rewind, to think about life, to plan the future and my daughter's and my family's," she said. Without getting into detail, she noted it's better "to take out yourself of the situation so you can think clearly and do the things that you need to do."

She also reminded her followers that celebrities, without pertaining to anyone, "go through things," and that they "do things for the well-being of everyone."

"But it does not reflect who you are as a person... what you have in your heart," she said. "And sometimes, you say, 'To hell with everything. I had enough.'"

"Maybe I'm in my time... I need to say, 'I had enough,'" she added.

She stressed that she's "very patient," "very kind," and "very forgiving," but she also has her limits. "When I get to my limit, I'm sorry. I don't think I'm the best person for you to fight," she said, without referring to anyone.

Meirelles noted that "the nicest people turn to be the most dangerous people."

"When we give our best and we get to the limit of abuse of certain people," she said, "we don't care anymore."

"I refuse to let it pass from this point onwards," she continued.

Meirelles, without again referring to anyone, warned that "when you do things, you need to be very careful about the consequences."

In 2023, Meirelles bared that her relationship with Estrada was on the rocks amid his alleged cheating.

She wrote a post asking her followers, "What to call a female that entertains married man?" and "Married men/women who chase single boys/girls are seriously so pathetic!"

Estrada, meanwhile, has remained mum on the issue.

In 2023, Estrada refused to answer questions about her reported marriage issues, saying that though he's a public figure, it doesn't mean being open about his personal life.

Estrada and Meirelles got married at a beach wedding in La Union in 2011.
