Leren Mae Bautista strongly denied that there is something romantic between her and Ricci Rivero

Beauty queen Leren Mae Bautista, who is also serving as councilor in Los Banos, released an official statement on rumors linking her to basketball player Ricci Rivero.

Leren Mae is accused of being the third party in Ricci’s breakup with actress Andrea Brillantes. It is because netizens noticed that the councilor posted a photo of Ricci on her Instagram story and he reposted this on his IG story also.

However, netizens noticed that the said post was immediately deleted. The fact the basketball player did an outreach program in Los Banos for his birthday celebration also added fuel to the fire of speculations.

Previously, a screenshot of Leren Mae Bautista’s message to a friend debunking the allegations against her surfaced online. Just recently, her office officially released a statement.

She stressed that the claims against her and Ricci are “entirely false and have no basis in reality.” Her camp also stressed that she has been busy doing her duty as a councilor and she is doing this with “utmost sincerity and integrity.”

The statement also stressed that the outreach program in which Ricci and Leren Mae participated is not an indication that they are sharing romance with each other.

It was also stated that the birthday photos that Ricci posted on social media in which he was joined by his friends were taken down in order to create more speculation. The camp of Leren Mae Bautista also encouraged the public to refrain from posting malicious comments and that fact-checking is very important.

Meanwhile, a source close to Andrea Brillantes shared that jealousy was the reason why the actress broke up with Ricci Rivero.
