MICHELLE DEE – The Miss Universe Philippines 2023 responded to speculations suggesting her involvement as the third party in the relationship between Sarah Lahbati and Richard Gutierrez.
The rumors initially stemmed from information released by Ogie Diaz, alleging that Sarah was unfaithful to Richard by engaging in a relationship with another person. However, Ogie later surprised fans by hinting that the said relationship was not with a ‘man.’
A netizen openly speculated that Michelle might be one of the individuals referred to in the blind item, prompting Michelle to address the rumors. Expressing her disbelief, Michelle said, “Homygah ano nanaman yan.” A fan playfully responded to Michelle, stating, “Babaero ka kasi,” to which Michelle jokingly replied, “At least magaganda lahat char.”
Michelle, the daughter of former beauty queen Melanie Marquez, openly identified herself as a member of the LGBT community. She has been linked to other actresses, including Kapuso star Mikee Quintos. In the past, her boyish appearance gained attention on social media.
Michelle emphasized the importance of avoiding baseless connections and urged people not to spread unverified information. “Sana po yung mga tao, hindi na lang ipagkalat yung mga something na hindi naman totoo kasi mahirap naman po, knowing the industry, ang bilis kumalat yung mga ganung issues,” she said.
Clarifying her relationship with Mikee, Michelle emphasized, “Uhm… I’ve never been in a relationship, so hindi ko alam kung bakit na-misinterpret ng mga tao yung closeness namin ni Mikee,” addressing those who intruded into her personal life.
Meanwhile, rumors that Sarah and Richard have broken up started after they were noticed being absent in some pictures together. This was fueled after Annabelle said in an interview with MJ Felipe that her son and grandchildren are staying at her house. This made people on the internet think there could be problems in Sarah and Richard’s marriage.
