| Ynna deems Annabelle’s fiscal office outbursts ‘weird’ |
-By Maureen Marie Belmonte (Manila Bulletin)
MANILA, Philippines – After all the denigrating remarks that she and her mother Nadia Montenegro received from her talent manager Annabelle Rama, Ynna Asistio is convinced that an amicable settlement is not a viable option for both parties.
"Sa totoo lang po, kinakalat niya nga rin po na isang areglo lang kay Mommy or magbigay ng pera, maaayos [na po kami]. Hindi po [totoo ‘yun].
“Sigurado po ako na hindi, hindi maaayos,” Ynna maintained in an interview with PEP posted on Feb. 8.
Such was the case because, according to her, "Ganun na kalaki ‘yung damage na ginawa niya [Annabelle] sa pamilya namin, sa mga kapatid ‘ko, sa nanay ‘ko, para maayos pa.”
But if ever the opposite happens, she says, "Kung maayos man siguro, civil [na lang].”
On theft and meetings
The latest case between the two women is Annabelle’s theft allegation against Nadia for acquiring and selling her personal effects, reportedly amounting to P400,000, without the prior’s consent
According to Ynna, she was particularly hurt with that accusation against her mother.
“…kasi parang para umabot sa ganun na, 'Bakit ka namin nanakawan?'” she was quoted as saying.
The young actress even asked, "Bakit namin gagawin ‘yun na, paano kami nakarating do’n sa warehouse mo nang hindi mo alam?”
For her, there seems to be a “flaw” in Annabelle’s accusation in that it was “too specific” about the items that she “lost” in her warehouse. Note that Annabelle mentioned that among the things Nadia reportedly took from her warehouse were a hospital bed, a couch and some cauldrons.
"Meron siyang mga nabigay na bagay, pero hindi po namin ninakaw ‘yun, binigay niya po ‘yun," she insisted.
Ynna said she regrets being unavailable to her mother during the two previous preliminary investigations on the child abuse and theft case.
"Ang hirap nga po kasi never po akong nakasama sa hearing, lalo na 'pag nagwawala si Tita," she stated.
She, however, reasoned that those absences were merely coincidental as she also happened to have work during those respective days.
On Annabelle’s outbursts
Recall that in those two meetings, Annabelle had also twice blown her top off at the fiscal’s office and shouting expletives towards her nemesis, instances that were both caught on camera.
When asked for her reaction, Ynna said she finds it “weird” that Annabelle is going berserk every hearing.
"Weird lang na magwala siya dahil ‘yung hearing na po iyon, ‘yung pangalawang pagwawala niya, is hearing niya do’n sa kaso niya.
"So, hindi ‘ko alam kung bakit siya nagwala, ‘eh, kaso po niya ‘yun,” enthused the 20-year-old actress.
She continued, "So, parang ewan ko, parang ang hirap lang ng kada may kamera, magwawala siya, 'tapos ‘pag wala naman, okay naman.”
On signing a ‘new contract’
In one of her previous interviews, Annabelle divulged that Ynna, even though still under contract with her, reportedly signed up with the talent management agency Icons Celebrity Marketing.
Ynna, however, quashed the said issue and clarified that she never breached her contract with Annabelle. In fact, no matter how messy things have become between them now, technically, she's still Annabelle’s ward.
Ynna explained that her sole connection to Icons was the fact that it's headed by the former boyfriend of singer-actress Jolina Magdangal, Atty Bebong Muñoz, who also happens to be her cousin.
"He's my first cousin po sa Asistio side, iyon lang,” she quipped.
