Nagsalita na rin ang nakatatandang kapatid ni Kapamilya actress Francine Diaz na si 'Chantal' dahil patuloy na umanong nakakaladkad ang pangalan ng kaniyang kapatid, na muli na namang umingay dahil sa naging proposal ni UP Fighting Maroons basketball star Ricci Rivero kay Andrea Brillantes noong Abril 9, pagkatapos ng bakbakan sa MOA Arena.
Matapos manggalaiti ang ina ni Francine na si Merdick Diaz sa kaniyang FB post at tinalakan sina Andrea at Seth Fedelin, ang ate naman ni Francine ang nagpakawala ng sunod-sunod na tweets tungkol dito. Matatandaang nagsalita na sina Seth at Andrea hinggil sa mga isyung kinasangkutan nila sa pamamagitan ng magkahiwalay na Instagram Live.
Narito ang sunod-sunod na tweets ni Chantal:
"Hello. I just want to clear some things in behalf of Francine and some issues that has been circulating for quite some time na. This has been stressing me out as an Ate of Chin and I can or we can no longer stay silent kasi we tried hard to stay silent for peace kaso ang hirap ma maintain with such environment. Kasi either we speak up or not lagi dawit ang name ng kapatid ko."
"Firstly, we are happy for the new couple they are happy and labas si Francine sa rs nila, I understand na most fans are asking Blythe for an apology kay Francine publicly. Blythe already apologized privately months ago when a certain issue na nangyari."
"Again, sometimes nadadala tayo ng emosyon and we do things rashly and for that naintindihan ko siya."
Itinanggi naman niya na totoo ang eksena ng panunugod umano ni Andrea kay Francine sa dressing room, matapos ang ABS-CBN Christmas Special noong Disyembre 2021. Ipinaliwanag din niya kung bakit naispatan si Seth sa bahay nila noong Enero.
"Second, is about the rumor ng panunugod sa dressing room. The panunugod is not true that’s not exactly what happened. What happened was a misunderstanding, B felt that Chin was disrespecting their LT when Chin posted an IGS picture with the Glam team and Seth."
"She called my sister and was very upset about it. As an Ate There was nothing wrong with that picture and I hated lang how she reacted about it, they were friends after all."
"That’s the reason why Seth came to visit us and apologized in person for what happened. Syempre may kasamang picturan and all. That’s when the other issue started ulit."
"Francine has been called a lot of names when wala namang masama sa picture na 'yon very wholesome with the family pa nga."
"Masakit sa akin na makabasa ng masasamang salita against sa kapatid ko na wala namang ginawang masama. At mas lalong hindi siya malandi at hindi siya ahas gaya ng sabi ng iba, wala siyang inagaw."
"I was hoping lang din for Blythe sana and Seth to clear it for Chin when they went LIVE but they saved themselves."
"Lastly, I’m saying this because both side has cleared up their names and half truths lang ang nasabi. We are all moving forward with the past issue and I hope kayo rin," pahayag pa ng kapatid ni Francine.
Samantala, wala pang tugon o reaksyon sina Andrea o Seth tungkol sa isyung ito.
