Michelle Dee assured fans that she is safe and that all is well amid rumors she got into an accident in El Salvador, where she’s currently at for the 2023 Miss Universe pageant.
The actress-beauty queen, who represents the Philippines in the competition, took to her X (formerly Twitter) page on Monday, Nov. 6, to give an update and dismiss such rumors.
“[I don’t know] where the rumor came from that I got into an accident but don’t believe it!” she wrote, opting not to expound on the misinformed claims. “We’re all good!”
