Sofia Andres admitted that she was betrayed by someone she treated as family while reminding her fans to “trust a person’s vibe,” a month after ending ties with celebrity stylist Steph Aparici.
Without mentioning anyone’s name, Andres took to her Instagram page on Sunday, October 27, to reveal that she was hurt by someone she treated as her own family.
Her post also included a text exchange that talked of someone who accepted check payments under their name, without the actress’ knowledge.
“This will be [the last time] that I will be talking about this. It’s really painful for me because I have treated my friends as family. My friends will know that… I will really fight for them to death no matter how it will affect me,” she said.
“‘Yung mga taong tinulungan mo from the very start. Mga taong akala mo nagmamahal sayo ng totoo. Itinuring mong kapatıd, kaibigan. Iba’t ibang klase ng suporta nagawa mo na (The people you helped from the start. The people you thought loved you fully. You treated them as a sibling, friend. You gave them all kinds of support),” continued Andres.
In the same post, Andres reminded her followers about the importance of “trusting [someone’s] vibe” while noting that life is “still beautiful” despite being unfair at times.
“It is also important to trust the vibe & not by blood. It will never be enough [for] people who are not genuinely happy for you. Iba’t Iba ang mga tao talaga (People are different)… Life is not always fair but it’s still beautiful,” she said.
The actress-influencer is nonetheless grateful to God for protecting her and sending blessings along her way.
“God is still on my side & thank you Lord for the never-ending support, the unconditional love, for protecting me & the blessings coming my way,” she said.
The “Pusong Ligaw” actress earned the support of Sarah Lahbati and Chie Filomeno in the comments.

While Andres didn’t address anyone in particular, she made headlines after cutting off ties with Aparici due to the latter allegedly making business dealings using the actress’ name, but without the latter’s consent.
The Kapamilya star also noted that her decision to end her professional relationship with Aparici was “hard” to make. Despite this, she said that she’s excited to explore new opportunities.
Aparici has yet to comment on Andres’ statement, as of press time.
