<p>MANILA -- Singer Denise Julia turned to social media to share that she was in contact with her legal team about a defamation suit, after celebrity photographer BJ Pascual named her as the &quot;worst&quot; personality he had worked with. </p><p>In a podcast, Pascual claimed that Denise&#x27;s team attempted to cancel a photoshoot the night before it was scheduled. Pascual said he covered the cancellation fees.</p><p>In her Twitter post on late Wednesday night, December 25, Denise uploaded a screen recording of messages between her manager John Vincent Salcedo and Pascual&#x27;s manager Pearl Acuesta.</p><p>The singer also shared her message for Pascual, saying that she and her team were &quot;genuine fans&quot; who were &quot;so excited&quot; about the collaboration with the celebrity photographer. </p><p>She said her team had been upfront about their budget and that she had &quot;moved my entire release date just to be able to work with you, out of respect for your time.&quot;</p><p>&quot;I’ve stayed quiet for as long as I could, but I needed to say my piece. Even until the end my manager was still trying to make this work, suggesting solutions and new dates so we can re-align and no one’s effort goes to waste,&quot; Denise said. </p><p>&quot;What hurts the most is seeing my character publicly attacked over something that’s not just out of my control but is a business negotiation between our managers and conversation that should’ve stayed private.&quot; </p><p>Addressing Pascual, she claimed, &quot;You targeted me to bring me down.&quot; </p><p>She then shared a screen recording of their text messages &quot;for full transparency as we have nothing to hide.&quot;</p><p>&quot;I thought this was something we had agreed on to talk about in person. We are now in contact with our legal team about a defamation suit. I hate that this had to go this way when it didn’t have to,&quot; she added.</p><div><br/></div><div class="twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered" style="display:flex;max-width:550px;width:100%;margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px"><iframe id="twitter-widget-0" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" title="X Post" src="https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1871921047966208181&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com%2F%23%2Fworkspace%2Fmonitoring&amp;sessionId=3ffc32c776df546d9d0ede80a632e54e497a835a&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px" style="position:static;visibility:visible;width:550px;height:1414px;display:block;flex-grow:1" data-tweet-id="1871921047966208181"></iframe></div><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charSet="utf-8"></script><p>Denise earlier shared screenshots of parts of the conversation between their teams.</p><p>But on Christmas Day, Pascual said that the screenshots &quot;do not reflect the full context of what transpired.&quot;</p><p>He said his team &quot;made every effort&quot; to adjust the budget for the shoot to around P371,000, which he said &quot;was below industry standards.&quot;</p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/music/2024/12/24/denise-julia-speaks-up-on-controversy-with-bj-pascual-0751" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">READ: Denise Julia speaks up on controversy with BJ Pascual</a></div><div><a href="http://BJ Pascual breaks silence on issue with Denise Julia: ‘Let’s move forward’" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2024/12/25/bj-pascual-breaks-silence-on-issue-with-denise-julia-let-s-move-forward-2106" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BJ Pascual breaks silence on issue with Denise Julia: ‘Let’s move forward’</a></div><p>He said he hoped they could &quot;move forward constructively while focusing on improving practices in the industry.&quot; </p>
