MANILA, Philippines – Gillian Vicencio vehemently denied claims that she was involved in the breakup of Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla.
Vicencio, who worked with the former couple in their last television series 2 Good 2 Be True, was rumored to have had an affair with Padilla. Speculations about this alleged affair surfaced on social media after Bernardo confirmed that she and Padilla had broken up after 11 years.
“Wag niyo po ako idamay dito, hindi po totoo. Bigyan naman po natin sila ng respeto,” she wrote on X (formerly Twitter) late Friday, December 1.
(Don’t drag me into this; it’s not true. Let’s give them some respect.)
Media personality DJ Jhai Ho also came to Vicencio’s defense.
“That’s my girl! Magsasalita dahil alam ang totoo. Hindi mananahimik para ipagtanggol ang sarili. Hindi po totoo. ‘Wag niyo idamay ‘tong si Gillian,” he wrote.
(She’ll speak up because she knows the truth. She won’t keep quiet to protect herself. It’s not true. Don’t drag Gillian into this.)
In a separate tweet, Jhai Ho also hinted that he knows who’s spreading the issue involving Vicencio.
Prior to this, Vicencio, who also worked with Bernardo in the film A Very Good Girl, had already denied the rumors that she had an affair with Padilla through the online show Marites University.
Aside from Vicencio, Padilla is also linked to actress Andrea Brillantes. As of writing, Padilla and Brillantes have yet to issue statements about the matter. – Rappler.com
