Rayver Cruz has apologized for his “hyper” behavior during his recent livestream with girlfriend Julie Anne San Jose, an incident that drew backlash on social media.
Cruz went live with San Jose so they could interact with fans, but he caught the public’s attention for the wrong reasons: when he appeared to be hyperactive and could not focus, so much so that even San Jose seemed disturbed by his actions.
The actor-dancer kept on laughing at some point and seemed absent-minded while responding to an inquiry, as recorded by one @mehmehmeh143 on X (formerly Twitter).
May pa drug test ba kayo @gmanetwork at @AllOutSundays7 bago mag prod or pumasok ang artists niyo? Mukhang nakalusot e. Ang lala ni rayver cruz, lasing ba siya or naka marijuana? Tamang laughtrip at kita na sabog e 🤮 pic.twitter.com/3p5jWJtnJg

Reacting to this post, Cruz said sorry, while clarifying that he was just being his usual “playful and happy” self in the livestream, especially in the company of San Jose.

“Hinding hindi ko kayang saktan si Julie,” he said. “I respect Julie sobra sobra, and sobra ko syang mahal pati ang family niya. Pangalawa, may respeto ako sa trabaho ko at sa mga katrabaho ko. Hinding hindi ako gagawa ng makakasira dun.”
In his post, the Kapuso star also appealed to the public to have an open mind and practice respect. “At sana, matuto na rin tayo rumespeto sa iba at maging malawak ang pag-iisip. Salamat po and goodnight,” he said.
Meanwhile, San Jose replied to @mehmehmeh143 on X after the latter accused the actor of being under the influence of “drugs.”
“Minsan lang po ako sumagot sa mga ganto but sobra ka na po. Below the belt and harsh na po itong accusations, please stop,” she said.

Cruz’s agency Sparkle GMA Artist Center has yet to address the allegations hounding the “Asawa ng Asawa Ko” star, as of this writing.
Cruz and San Jose are set to perform with fellow Kapuso stars Ruru Madrid, Bianca Umali, Barbie Forteza, and David Licauco at the Sparkle Goes To Canada joint concert in April.
