MANILA, Philippines – Anne Curtis took to social media to defend her boyfriend Erwan Heussaff and her younger sister Jasmine Curtis-Smith, after a photo of the two of them posted online had many fans talking – even though there wasn't any information available about the picture.
On Tuesday, January 26, Anne posted her message to critics making a big deal of a photo of Erwan and Jasmine hugging in a photo, a screencap from Snapchat. The photo, which became viral, has since been deleted.
"This is the only time I will comment on this issue. So please STOP saying awful things about my sister and boyfriend," Anne wrote on Twitter.
She also briefly clarified the context behind the photo, saying it was an inside joke between parties and that the picture was "wrongly screencapped" online. Calling the whole incident a non-issue, she said that some people reacted maliciously to the post and called out social media users who jumped to erroneous conclusions.
"Hey all, this is getting out of hand. It was all an inside joke between my boyfriend, my sister, myself and everyone at the party. My private account was wrongly screencapped and this is becoming ridiculous. We took down posts because so many people reacted maliciously to them automatically and we didn’t want all of this to happen. Case in point. Nothing happened, we are all fine.
"I’m lucky that Erwan treats Jasmine like his own sister. He has known her since she was 13. So please STOP. It deeply saddens me that such viciousness is being thrown at the people I love. DON’T perverse their relationship. I mean, seriously. This is a non-issue," she wrote on Twitter.
