Filipina actress Maris Racal recently opened up about the cheating allegations involving her and co-actor Anthony Jennings. The controversy began when Anthony’s ex-girlfriend, Jamela Villanueva, shared screenshots of alleged private conversations between the two actors on Instagram.
Maris Racal’s Emotional Response
In an interview with ABS-CBN News, Maris expressed her distress over the issue. “I don’t know where to go. Whenever I go out, I feel like a woman naked. I’m so embarrassed,” she shared, visibly emotional. The controversy has left her feeling vulnerable and overwhelmed.
Clearing the Air About Her Breakup
Maris confirmed that her relationship with Rivermaya frontman Rico Blanco ended in July. She clarified that Anthony Jennings was not involved at the time. Her feelings for Anthony developed later, during a period when she was emotionally vulnerable. She admitted finding comfort in Anthony’s attention while working together on projects like Can’t Buy Me Love and the upcoming series Incognito.
Maris acknowledged her emotions played a significant role in the situation. “When I sensed there was an attraction between Anthony and me, nadala ako sa emotions ko. I knew it was wrong,” she admitted. She revealed that she informed Rico about her feelings for Anthony before their breakup, describing the experience as emotionally draining.
Addressing Dishonesty Allegations
Maris emphasized that Anthony presented himself as single during their interactions. “He would tell everyone close to me that he was single. So I was confident to act a certain way around him on set because, in the eyes of the people there, we were both single,” she explained. Her actions, she said, were based on the information Anthony provided.
The allegations have sparked intense discussion on social media, with fans sharing mixed reactions. Maris acknowledged her mistake and apologized to everyone affected by the situation. She expressed regret over her actions and the pain they caused, hoping to move past the controversy.
Maris expressed her desire to rebuild trust with her supporters and learn from the experience. “I hope to move forward and regain the trust of those I’ve let down,” she said, adding that she remains committed to improving herself both personally and professionally.
The issue continues to be a trending topic, but Maris hopes to turn the page and focus on her growth as an artist and individual.
