Usap-usapan ang pag-call out ng isang Japanese national sa mag-asawang singer na sina Jessa Zaragoza at Dingdong Avanzado sa usapin ng naibentang condominium unit.
Noong Enero 9, 2024 ay nag-My Story sa kaniyang Facebook ang isang nagngangalang "Fujiwara Masashi," na kinakalampag ang mag-asawa tungkol sa isang bagay na kailangan nilang bayaran sa kaniya.
Mababasa rito, "Dingdong jessa !! You guys!! Please feel free to contact me and pay!! Aren't you embarrassed?”
"You are happy. You only paid 250,000 peso for the condo you sold to me, and I paid you 5 million yen, but I didn't get it. Shouldn't you talk to Joel and make amends? Please return 5 million yen. Aren't you embarrassed? To Dingdong Avanzado to Fujiwara(japanese," saad pa nito sa isa pang hiwalay na post.

Hindi malinaw kung bakit kailangang magbayad ng mag-asawa sa nabanggit na Japanese national gayong ang nakalagay, ang mag-asawa raw ang nagbenta nito sa kanila. Ngunit ang malinaw, ito ay usaping pera kaugnay ng isang condominium unit.
Nitong Enero 19 ay naglabas ng opisyal na pahayag ang mag-asawa.
Pinabulaanan ng mag-asawa ang mga akusasyon laban sa kanila.
Mababasa sa opisyal na pahayag, "It has come to our knowledge that some Facebook posts and tags were made on social media concerning our family. It is unfortunate that certain individuals are using the power of social media to spread inaccurate and false information against us."
"They hide behind the cloak of protection provided under ‘Freedom of Expression’ to cause injury and harm to our family. However, we would like to remind them that this freedom is not absolute and is subject to accountability."
“We categorically and specifically deny all these false, misleading, malicious, and baseless allegations made against us. We have not committed any offense that would undermine our integrity or tarnish the good reputation of our family name."
“Our family does not have any unpaid obligations due to anyone, nor did we commit any act to defraud any person. We have been working hard in the entertainment industry for the past decades to honestly provide for the needs of our family."
Pinag-aaralan na raw ng mga abogado ang posibleng pagsasampa ng legal action sa nabanggit na Japanese national.
“We have referred this concern to our lawyers, and they are reviewing all the possible legal precautions available to us. We remain resolute and committed to protecting the legal rights of our family.”
Pareho itong shinare sa kani-kanilang Facebook page ng mag-asawa.
"My husband Dingdong Avanzado & I’s official statement in response to the baseless allegations against us," ani Jessa. Shinare naman ito ni Dingdong sa kaniyang sariling socials.
