Minsan lang po ako sumagot sa mga ganto but sobra ka na po. Below the belt and harsh na po itong accusations, please stop 🙏🏻

Rayver has since issued an apology to those who may have been offended by his actions during the livestream.
“But I was just being myself. Playful and happy talaga ako. Lalo na when I’m with my love. She knows that, she knows me. I don’t usually speak up pero ibang usapan na ang accusations. Una, hinding hindi ko kayang saktan si Julie. My mom raised me right,” he explained.
He also clarified the incident where he allegedly touched Julie Anne.
“Hinawakan ko yung bohok nya na lagi kong ginagawa sa mga iba pa namin videos pag magkasama kami pero kung iba po ang dating sa ibang tao wala na po ako magagawa don🙏🏼 I respect Julie sobra sobra and sobra ko syang mahal pati ang family nya.”
