Kapuso actress and original SexBomb Dancers member Rochelle Pangilinan recently shared her emotional ordeal after being betrayed by a close friend.
In an appearance on GMA Network’s weekly talk show ‘Sarap Di Ba?’, Rochelle opened up about the painful experience of discovering that someone she trusted had been speaking ill of her behind her back.
Rochelle revealed that while this friend appeared supportive and kind to her face, they were actually spreading negative comments about her when she wasn’t around. This revelation came to light during a discussion about dealing with two-faced friends in the entertainment industry.
“May pagkakataon bang nairita ka sa isang artista dahil maganda ang ipinapakita niya sa’yo kapag kaharap ka, pero may sinasabi pala ito kapag nakatalikod ka?” host Carmina Villarroel asked.
“Meron,” Rochelle replied candidly. She explained that other friends informed her about the hurtful things being said by this particular individual.
When asked if she confronted the friend, Rochelle said her husband, actor Arthur Solinap, advised her to address the issue directly.
“‘Yun ang sinasabi sa akin ni Art lagi. Parang kung kaibigan ang tingin mo sa kaniya, kausapin mo. And then, ayusin mo,” she explained.
Rochelle added that she prefers to distance herself from toxic individuals before she completely loses her affection for them.
“Masasaktan ka ng mga taong ‘yan kapag importante sa ‘yo. ‘Yung mga taong hindi mo kilala e, kahit ano gawin nila sa ‘yo hindi ka maaapektuhan,” she said emotionally. “Pero ‘yung mga taong mahal mo na makakagawa sa ‘yo ng masasakit, ‘yun talaga ‘yung lumilinya.”
Rochelle’s betrayal by someone she genuinely considered a friend and family left her deeply wounded, highlighting the impact of deceit and the importance of confronting such issues head-on.
