Amid Controversy w/ Anthony Jennings, Maris Racal Goes Emotional during Interview
MARIS RACAL – The Kapamilya actress broke her silence on the revelation of the alleged private messages between her and actor Anthony Jennings.
The social media platforms were recently taken by storm when the ex-girlfriend of Anthony Jennings posted his private messages with Maris Racal. The two (2) celebrities are on-screen partners who have worked together in several projects and are visibly in the pursuit of making a name in the industry.
Jamela “Jam” Villanueva, the now ex-girlfriend of Anthony, posted several screenshots of the alleged conversation of the two (2) celebrities while they were still together. Based on the screenshots, Jam initially supported the love team of her boyfriend with Maris and the so-called “method acting” wherein he has to make her feel loved and cared for so they can perform better.
However, as per Jamela’s posts, despite that Anthony has told her that he and Maris will stop things following a confrontation between them, the two (2) celebrities allegedly continued what was going on between them. The revelation of the ex-girlfriend of the actor earned him and Maris countless criticisms on social media.
Recently, Maris Racal broke her silence on the revelation of the private messages between her and Anthony Jennings. In an exclusive interview with ABS-CBN News, the actress stressed that she is speaking from the heart and she wants to take accountability of what happened.
Maris admitted that she committed a mistake and she wants to say sorry for everything. According to the actress, it was in June 2024 when romance started blooming between her and Anthony and she felt the need to tell Rico Blanco, her boyfriend then, about it.
Maris Racal claimed that she was in a dark place then and she was getting attention and she got it from Anthony Jennings who’s allegedly very sweet to her at the set. According to the actress, the actor would tell everyone at the set that he is single so they are both single in the eyes of their fellow celebrities.
The actress stressed that she was really vulnerable and she was single then. During the interview, she stressed that she is “truly, truly embarrassed” as her private messages were exposed without consent and against her will.
According to Maris Racal, when Jamela Villanueva posted the screenshots, she was shocked that she had to read it over and over again. Meanwhile, she expressed respect on the side of then-girlfriend of Anthony Jennings.
“That’s her side of the story, this is my side,” Maris said.
Maris claimed she really thought that Anthony was single. According to her, she understands where Jam is coming from after she allegedly found out based on the posts that Anthony and Jam were really still together when he is also sweet to her.
“Kaya pala hindi siya makapag-release ng statement dahil sila pa pala those whole entire time,” the actress said.
Maris Racal stressed that she went through a lot for her career and she does not know where she is going now but she vowed to continue. She also claimed that she has reached out to Jam Villanueva but there was no response.
