Maris Racal thought that Anthony Jennings was single
Kapamilya actress Maris Racal accused her loveteam partner Anthony Jennings of lying about the status of his relationship with Jam Villanueva.
Maris finally broke her silence following the controversy involving her and Anthony. Their names became trending topics these past few days after Jam revealed on Instagram the private conversation that they had.
Maris received negative reactions because of this. She was scrutinized online for having an affair with someone who was already taken.
In her statement on December 6, released by her mother network ABS-CBN, Maris Racal said that while working together, she started liking Anthony Jennings and she knew this was wrong.
At that time, she was still with her ex-boyfriend singer-songwriter Rico Blanco. With her intention to come clean, she told Rico that she was falling for Anthony and this caused their breakup.
Maris told Anthony that she and Rico had broken up. The actress said that Anthony told her the same.
“I told Anthony that I broke up with my ex and he also said the same,” Maris shared. She admitted that she was so vulnerable at that time, and working with Anthony almost everyday made her fall for him even more.
The actress also said that Anthony would tell people close to her that he was single. With this, she said that she is comfortable acting the way she did around Anthony on the set. “Because in the eyes of the people there, we were both single,” she said.
When they went to Italy to shoot for their series Incognito, Maris Racal said that this was the time when they knew each other deeply. “I really fell,” she said.
Talking about the screenshot showing that she asked Anthony how Jam was, Maris stressed that this was not because she knew they were still together and that it was because she knew Jam was going through something.
She also shared that she asked Anthony if he and Jam got back together and if he still loves her, the actor’s answers were both no. The actress said that she would ask Anthony several times when he would speak about his breakup with Jam. However, the actor would just tell her that he was waiting for the right moment.
Maris Racal said that she went silent about this because it was not her story to tell. Last October, when she received bashing because of the cryptic posts that Jam shared on Instagram, Maris said that she once again asked Anthony when he would speak up about his breakup.
“I asked him to fix this because I’m so tired of getting bashed,” the actress said and the actor said once again that he was waiting for the right moment. She also said that it was too late for her to realize that Anthony could not release a statement because the entire time, he was still with Jam.
Maris Racal also said that she reached out to Jam Villanueva but there was no reply.
