Carlos Yulo was shockingly submerged in controversy after his incredible performance at the Paris Olympics. After winning two gold medals, he became a hero to his nation, as people couldn’t get enough of him. He received numerous gifts, like multiple cars, an apartment, and many offers from restaurants that promised to give him free meals for his whole life. The gymnast had become a star.

But when one becomes a star, people start paying a lot of attention to their personal lives. This makes them magnify the controversies they get into. The gymnast fell into a similar case to as the tabloids couldn’t get enough of the controversy involving his mother’s embezzlement of his funds. Thus, Carlos had to talk about his finances for the people to hear.

In a recent event, Carlos Yulo was made the brand ambassador of the Filipino local bank EastWest. During the meet, he talked about his financial future with the bank. This was heavily important to talk about for the public post the controversy as they couldn’t wait to hear if the gymnast had suffered any further damages. However, that was not the case.

Talking in the event, he said, “I really appreciate it. And I’m really grateful and honored to be a part of this. And, of course, I’m grateful to my financial company. It’s hard for me to talk about it. But I want to say that I’m really grateful that I don’t have to worry about the future of my financials.” This statement might calm down the noise a bit as Carlos has refuted claims of any major damages that would affect his future. However, it seems to be seen whether his relationship with his mother would ever be repaired.

The whole controversy started right after the Paris Olympics. Carlos Yulo uploaded a TikTok where he accused his mother, who was handling his finances, of having withdrawn money from his bank accounts without informing him. His mother also didn’t tell him about the money he was supposed to get from previous competitions he participated in.

This was refuted by Angelica Yulo, his mother, who claimed to have withdrawn the money to safeguard the amount for her son’s future. The whole thing became quite shabby as tabloids started to get into it. However, Carlos Yulo has come forward and said that he has already forgiven his mother. As a successful gymnast, he now wants to look at the bigger picture and concentrate on his future endeavors, which include the LA Olympics.
