After weeks of absence from the public spotlight, Cuban broadcaster Frank Abel has broken his silence, refuting circulating rumors about his alleged state of homelessness. In a phone call to the Destino Tolk show, he assured listeners that he is in good health and undergoing emotional recovery.
“Everything being said is false. I am perfectly fine, with excellent health parameters and ready,” Frank Abel declared during his conversation with the hosts of the show led by Destino Positivo and Fernan.
He revealed that his hiatus was due to a severe depressive episode that compelled him to withdraw from public life: “Indeed, I was battling depression. I had a pretty serious diagnosis, combined with blood sugar spikes and associated issues, which led to an imbalance, but I am perfectly fine now,” he admitted. He also mentioned regaining his weight and having the full support of his family.
Frank Abel further clarified that images purportedly showing him as homeless were either misinterpreted or shared with ill intent.
“There was a picture taken because I was preparing for a trip, and I was seen with a suitcase from a laundry, getting into an Uber. Someone from Cuba, mind you, as not all but some individuals are a bit malicious, recorded me and, as we know, this scruffy character aired it, leading everyone to believe I was on the streets. It's all false,” he explained.
The broadcaster is currently focused on a fresh start, prioritizing his well-being and family support: “I am going through the process of starting anew, starting from scratch. Fortunately, life always begins tomorrow, and this country sometimes offers opportunities,” he expressed.
Weeks prior, Destino Positivo, host of Destino Tolk, had publicly voiced concern over the whereabouts and health of Frank Abel. His reappearance in the interview has been met with messages of love and support from his followers.
