Rica Peralejo Explains Viral Post About Heart Evangelista
RICA PERALEJO – The former actress responded to accusations that she’s “against” or “putting down” Heart Evangelista. In a sincere TikTok video, Rica explained that she never meant to criticize Heart personally and doesn’t hate her.
The issue began when Rica posted on social media, using Heart as an example to illustrate how celebrities live differently from ordinary people. Rica said people like Heart often don’t do tiring chores like cooking, cleaning, or carrying heavy bags, not because they’re lazy, but because their jobs require them to take care of their appearance. Rica said her point wasn’t to insult Heart—it was just to remind people not to compare their lives to those of celebrities.
Unfortunately, Rica admitted her wording might have been misunderstood. She rewrote her post to make things clearer, but by then, negative reactions had already begun to spread. Many thought Rica was attacking Heart’s lifestyle or choices, which she strongly denied.
Rica also cleared up rumors that she was criticizing Heart for not having children. She explained that she never said Heart’s life is easier because she doesn’t have kids. Rica shared that she personally experienced three miscarriages, so she understands how painful that journey can be. She even messaged Heart privately before to offer support when news of Heart’s miscarriages came out.
Rica made it clear she respects Heart and considers her a longtime friend from their early TV days. She also said she admires Heart’s honesty in sharing her struggles with anxiety and depression.
Despite the backlash, Rica said she has no reason to hate Heart and never did. Her real message was simple: we shouldn’t compare our everyday lives with the lives of celebrities, who often live differently because of their careers.
In the end, Heart responded kindly to Rica in the comments, reassuring her with a sweet message that showed there were no hard feelings between them. Rica, touched by Heart’s reply, thanked her and said she loves her too.
