Yassi’s take on the latest JaDine controversy
TPLUS: ‘Insidious’ creator interested to cast Filipino monsters in future movies
HEY’RE no longer close. That’s what Yassi Pressman made clear in a catchup session with In the Know at the Samsung Galaxy A8 and A8 Plus launch in Makati on Thursday when asked how she and her fellow Viva talent and BFF Nadine Lustre are doing.
“Maykanyakanyanapokami naginagawa and bibihiranapo kamimagkita.”
Yassi did not say that their friendship is over, but related they’ve drifted apart since their early days in stage far from where they started back in the movie “Diary ng Panget.” That’s why as much as she would want to, she couldn’t defend Nadine and her boyfriend James in the pair’s latest controversy with director Antoinette Jadaone.
