“I understand Bella is fragile and we openly discussed and settled the matter maturely.”
“We sat down together, discussed rationally and communicated about the issue,” he said, confirming what was revealed by Bella as true.
“I know Bella, she will not issue a statement without investigating. She will not throw a fit if it is not true,” he added.
Aliff admitted that the issue was due to his own doing.
“No one anticipated the controversy would blow up. I take this as a warning from God so that when there is filming in the future, to maintain boundaries.”
Meanwhile, Kosmo! quoted Aliff denying the controversy was made up to promote the show.
