Nadine Lustre informed her fans that a fake account has been using her name, and even her boyfriend Christophe Bariou’s photo, to endorse a product that she is not affiliated with.
Through her verified Facebook page on Monday, April 8, the actress showed a screenshot of the poser’s page as well as its posts promoting a milk that supposedly helps in having a better sleep.
One of the posts even includes Bariou’s photo from when he was battling cancer.
“Please block and report this account. I’m not affiliated with Dreamy Sure,” she stressed.
She also reminded those who shared and commented on the post to be cautious of what they consume online.
“‘Wag po tayo papaloko!” she added.
The poser account, which had 20 followers, can no longer be accessed as of this writing.
Meanwhile, Lustre earlier opened up about the “most challenging” time of her life, which was when her brother Isaiah died in 2017. Lustre recalled being told to “just keep working” to “forget about it” at the time.
“My brother was going through these challenges in his mental health as well. I was still doing a variety show everyday, so can you imagine?” she said in an interview.
“At some point, when I felt I was already crumbling, I’d ask for a break,” she said. “They’d respond with, ‘Just keep working. You’ll forget about it.’ It just goes to show how uneducated and out of touch we are when it comes to mental health issues,” she lamented.
