I was shocked. I’m truly, truly embarrassed. Dahil nakita lahat ng tao ‘yon without my consent, against my will,&quot; Maris said in an interview last month. </p><p>Maris said that Anthony led her to believe he had broken up with Jamela before he began courting her.</p><p>&quot;He would tell all the people who were close to me that he was single. So, I was confident to act a certain way around him on the set. Because in the eyes of the people there, we were both single,&quot; she remarked.</p><div><iframe width="1280" height="720" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-h7y-c36ZyI" title="EXCLUSIVE: Maris Racal addresses issue with Anthony Jennings | ABS-CBN News" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>The Kapamilya actress stated she was kept in the dark and had no idea that Anthony and Jamela were still in a relationship.</p><p>&quot;I asked him, nagkabalikan ba kayo? He said no. Do you still love her? He said no. He would say things na ako yung gusto niya and all. I really asked him so many times,&quot; Maris said.</p><p>She remarked that it was when the screenshots surfaced that she realized why Anthony couldn&#x27;t release a statement about the status of his relationship.</p><p>&quot;This is my side. And I’ve been reading those screenshots. Dun ko na pagtagpita-tagpi lahat na kaya pala hindi siya makapag-release ng statement. Dahil sila pa pala this whole entire time. I didn’t know. I was in the dark. I didn’t know. I had no idea,&quot; Maris said. </p><p>The actress made her first public appearance since the controversy during the <em>Incognito </em>fan conference at a mall in Taguig this January. </p>
