Bianca Manalo broke her silence about her leaked conversation with co-star Rob Gomez, saying that some parts of their exchange were deleted to “create malicious insinuations.”
Gomez, Manalo, and another beauty queen, Herlene Budol are mired in controversy following the leak of the actor’s conversations with his “Magandang Dilag” co-stars, and another woman on Wednesday, Dec. 20. The screenshots of Gomez’s messages implied a sexual relationship.
Manalo is now in Japan with her family for vacation. She is in a relationship with Senator Sherwin Gatchalian.
“It is upsetting that our conversations were exposed without my consent, which is a breach of privacy and the cause of so much online bashing,” Manalo said on Instagram.
“It is obvious that parts of our conversation were deleted to create malicious insinuations.”
In Manalo’s exchange with Gomez, the former asked the latter if she could meet him in BGC in Taguig.
To this, Manalo explained: “He was going to bring Christmas gifts and I wanted to receive them early before I leave for the airport.”
The message also showed the actress informing Gomez that someone is not with her because that certain individual is in Valenzuela, implying that she’s referring to Gatchalian.
“To be honest, this unfounded accusation is hurting me and my loved ones. Let this controversy end so I can enjoy the rest of my time in Japan with my family,” she said.
“Let us spread love and the truth this holiday season. Merry Christmas, everyone.”
