After Liza Soberano apparently unfollowed Careless on Instagram, her former talent manager Ogie Diaz chimed in, citing claims that she is no longer “friends” with the talent management company’s founder, James Reid.
Diaz spoke about this through his YouTube channel on Monday, Sept. 9, after eagle-eyed netizens noticed that Careless is no longer on the actress’ Instagram following list. Careless, meanwhile, is still following Soberano.

“Ang balita natin ay parang hindi na magkaibigan itong si James Reid at si Liza Soberano. Dahil sa pag-unfollow ni Liza sa Careless, ibig sabihin lang ay ayaw na niya magkaroon ng connection sa Careless na pag-aari ni James Reid,” Diaz claimed, without stating any reason behind the supposed falling-out.
Diaz further stated that Soberano is apparently in the United States with Jeffrey Oh, who the showbiz insider said is no longer the CEO of Careless.
Diaz also touched on the rumors of the actress and Oh’s supposed romance, although no confirmation was immediately made.
Soberano left Diaz’s management after 11 years and signed with Reid’s Careless in 2022. Just last February, Reid declared that 2024 would be an exciting year for Soberano as several local and international projects had been lined up for her.
“It was really cool to see Liza in a completely different level, different setting, and if anything, she’s doing this really proud,” Reid said at the time. “I’m so happy for her. It’s a big dream come true for her and also for us, being behind her, supporting her.”
Soberano and Reid, however, have yet to comment on rumors of their falling-out as of this writing.
