Andrea Brillantes admitted that she got annoyed and walked out on a fan after she was repeatedly asked to have photos with him without masks on.
Brillantes addressed the issue about the photos of her and a fan after a netizen pointed out that the actress appears to be upset in the said photos.
“To be honest, yes. Actually medyo bad trip ako n’yan. Una, ang kulit kasi ni kuya na ‘Pwede po bang walang mask?’ sabi ko, ‘Bawal po, bawal po talaga,'” she explained via her TikTok page on Monday, April 18. “Nag-picture siya, tapos umulit-ulit siya, tapos sabi ko, ‘Kuya, bawal po talaga’ kasi duh? Nasa pandemic pa po tayo at ang dami ko pa pong work na nakasalalay na hindi ako pwedeng mag-positive.”
(To be honest, yes. Actually, that was a bit of a bad trip for me. First was because he repeatedly asked, “[Can we take pictures] without masks on?” I told him, “We’re really not allowed [to take masks off].” He took a photo then he asked again so I told him, “We’re really not allowed [to take masks off].” Because duh? We are still in the middle of a pandemic and I still have a lot of work in place, I can’t afford to test positive [for COVID-19].)
The actress was apparently given a shirt by the fan and was asked if she could post it on her social media accounts. Brillantes declined and cited that she has an endorsement deal for another clothing brand, which prohibits her to do said postings.
Brillantes also admitted becoming more bothered when the fan requested to do the “two joints” sign with her, a hand gesture associated with presidential candidate Manila Mayor Isko Moreno Domagoso. Brillantes refused and said she is supporting “Leni,” referring to Vice President Leni Robredo.
