In an Instagram story on Monday, Ricks recalled working with Evans whom she described as a “good person.”

“People with good hearts can never be put down,” said Ricks.

“Five years of being part of MATTMEL (their love team’s name). Spending almost every day with you dahil sa work na halos di na tayo natutulog (because of work where we barely got any sleep),” the actress added.

“I know how much of a good person you are, not only to me but to everyone around you. You have a good heart, Matt. That is a fact,” she further said.

According to a report from entertainment portal PEP.ph, the case against Evans was filed by Johnelline Hickins, his former partner with whom he has a daughter.

Ricks worked together with Evans in the ABS-CBN fantasy series “Da Adventures of Pedro Penduko” in 2006.
