MANILA – More than six months since she expressed regret over her “wasted” friendship with Maja Salvador, Kim Chiu still chooses to keep mum every time she is asked about her former best friend.
In an interview with ABS-CBN News at the sidelines of the “Bakit Hindi Ka Crush ng Crush Mo” press conference on Tuesday night, Chiu shrugged off questions about Salvador’s tweet allegedly defending her from bashers.
“Let’s not talk about her,” Chiu briefly said.
On June 25, just as Chiu was being criticized about her relationship with her late mother, Salvador tweeted: “You don't know her... You just know her name... #PleaseDon'tJudge #PleaseRESPECT.”
While Salvador did not indicate who she was pertaining to, many netizens believed she was asking the public to respect Chiu, who was then mourning the loss of her mom.
Insisting that she does not want to talk about their falling out, Chiu just smiled and said: “Masaya ako kasi thankful ako sa mga nandiyan for me. 'Yung totoong nandiyan for me.”
Chui was referring to her family and her rumored boyfriend Xian Lim.
“Pamilya ko, of course, lagi naman silang nandiyan, sila ang inspirasyon ko sa kung anuman ang nangyayari sa buhay ko. Hindi naman sila bumitaw sa akin. And si Xian siyempre,” she said.
Chiu said her loved ones stood by her amid all the intrigues and they continuously help her in coping.
Meanwhile, Lim said Chiu is truly fortunate to have so many good people around her.
“Marami kami, hindi lang ako. Iyon nga ang sinasabi ko kay Kim. She’s really privileged na marami sila. 'Yung ibang tao kapag nangyari sa kanila iyon, siguro one or two people lang ang tutulong. Kay Kim ang dami. Naramdaman niya iyon,” he said.
