After a whirlwind of online chatter, Bianca Manalo finally addressed the leaked conversation between her and ‘Magandang Dilag’ co-star Rob Gomez.
Taking to Instagram, the beauty queen-turned-actress cleared the air, clarifying their relationship as “friends and co-workers.”
The leaked screenshots, which caused a stir online, apparently stemmed from a simple misunderstanding. According to Manalo, the conversation revolved around a Christmas gift from Gomez that she was supposed to receive early before leaving for the airport.
“It’s upsetting that our private chats were exposed without my consent,” Manalo declared, rightfully indignant at the breach of privacy.
“It’s clear that parts were deliberately deleted to create malicious insinuations. This unfounded accusation is hurtful to me and my loved ones,” she added.
While she didn’t delve into specifics, Manalo expressed her desire for the controversy to fade, stating, “I just want to enjoy the rest of my Japan trip with my family.”
Ending on a hopeful note, she urged everyone to “spread love and truth this holiday season. Merry Christmas, everyone!”
As for Gomez, he previously claimed his phone was taken and used without his knowledge, adding another layer of intrigue to the saga. Whether this is a mere phone mishap or a more deliberate plot remains to be seen.
