“Buntis janella eh kaya ni nilabas ngayon relasyon niyo para di naman kami ma shock ng sobra siguro ano? Nasa uk na kayo pareho kasi manganganak dyan si janella,” the netizen wrote.
The rumors about Janella’s pregnancy came after the actress was claimed to have been rejected by a TV show on the Kapatid network.
Netizens said that the reason for her rejection being her attitude problem was only a cover-up to her pregnancy.
