Nadine Lustre has been on the receiving end of criticism after she promoted online gambling as a brand ambassador of an online casino.
The actress announced the online gambling platform’s launch, sharing a photo of herself holding a phone through her Facebook page last Saturday, Nov. 16.
Netizens then flocked to the comments section to express their dismay over the actress, who is a known advocate for animal rights and promotes vegan lifestyle. She also supports environmental organizations and causes.

On the other hand, there were those who came to Lustre’s defense and urged fans to just “respect [the actress’] hustle.”

Lustre, who was announced as the online gambling platform’s “muse” last August, has yet to comment on the matter as of this writing.
Lustre has been using her platform to speak about her advocacies for animal rights, environmental causes and even mental health.
Just last August, she spoke against the exploitation of zoo animals. She was also recognized as a wildlife protector in 2023 by a private conservation area in Rizal.
The actress is busy promoting her latest movie, “Uninvited,” where she is cast alongside screen veterans Vilma Santos, Aga Muhlach, Tirso Cruz III, Mylene Dizon, and Lotlot de Leon.
