Sandara Park was caught for drug abuse, and to cover that up, they turned the medication into something labeled as a drug scandal involving me,” Park Bom previously shared.</p><p>Sandara has since then denied the claims made by her fellow member and wished her well instead.</p><div><br/></div><p>“I have never used drugs. I wish her well,” Sandara previously wrote.</p><div><br/></div><p>In response to this, Joseph backed up his ex-girlfriend and former onscreen partner. He claimed that it’s impossible for the South Korean star to do what she had been accused of.</p><div><br/></div><p>“For me, imposible yun. Imposible kasi matagal ko rin siyang nakasama, siyempre ang masasabi ko ay kilala ko ang pagkatao niya at tsaka yung sacrifice niya para sa family niya,” he shared.</p><div><br/></div><p>He then added how it’s hard for Sandara to even smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol as she was so focused on providing for her family and stabilizing her career. </p><div><br/></div><p>“Tumanda siya nang naka-focus sa trabaho para sa family at para sa career. I’m sure hindi niya gagawin yun. Yosi [at] inom nga lang ang hirap ipa-take, drugs pa. I’m sure, 100%, na hindi niya gagawin yun,” he assured.</p><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2026/3/3/2ne1-s-park-bom-claims-she-was-framed-to-hide-sandara-park-s-alleged-drug-use-1917" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>READ: 2NE1’s Park Bom claims she was framed to hide Sandara Park’s alleged drug use</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>Meanwhile, Joseph expressed his gratitude towards ABS-CBN and Star Cinema for giving their love team a chance in the past. He credited Sandara as well and shared how she was a huge part of his career.</p><div><br/></div><p>“Meron din siguro sayang kasi may mga times na pasaway kami. Tsaka siyempre bata pa kami kahit yung relationship namin hindi nag tuloy tuloy dahil hindi tinadhana. Sayang din kasi laki ng potential. Thank you sa ABS-CBN at Star Cinema binigyan kami agad ng movie–– yung tiwala nila,” he expressed.</p>
