Arra San Agustin: “Hard no”
ARRA SAN AGUSTIN – The Kapuso actress denied that she had a relationship with Kapuso actor Paolo Contis.
The Sparkle star said “Hard no” when she was asked by Boy Abunda on Thursday’s episode of “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda” if she ever had a relationship with the actor.
Boy Abunda’s question to Arra came after rumors spread last year that she and Paolo were romantically involved with each other while the actor was still in a relationship with actress Yen Santos, who is now his ex-girlfriend.
The actress said in an interview that rumors started in the Kapuso variety show “Tahanang Pinakamasaya” where she and the actor had a love triangle skit with Kapuso comedian Betong Sumaya for the show’s segment “TP Happy”.
According to her, people cut out pictures of her and Paolo and they’re making articles claiming that she was the third party in the relationship between Paolo and Yen. She added that she didn’t know why most people still believe in those articles.
“We can easily be manipulated or gaslighted by a single headline lang na hindi naman pala totoo,” Arra said. “So what, is it really real, ano ba talaga ‘yung totoo? Anong totoo sa social media? Nothing, I guess.“
Arra said in an interview that netizens on social media do not bother to ask her if the news is true and instead just draw conclusions, with some people even labelling her a “third party”.
The actress also shared that she and Paolo don’t have photos and videos casually hanging out together without their “TP fam”, adding that she and the actor have been co-workers since her first show, “Bubble Gang”.
To recall, it was last November 2023 when Paolo Contis said in an interview on “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda” that the viral video of him kissing Arra on the forehead during a segment for “Eat Bulaga” was “maliciously edited”.
Arra also answered in an interview on “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda” about her relationship status with her ex-boyfriend, PBA player Juami Tiongson. According to the Kapuso actress, she and Juami are “talking again”.
Meanwhile, Arra San Agustin is set to star in the upcoming Kapuso series “My Ilonggo Girl” alongside Michael Sager, Jillian Ward, and more.
