She maintained it was through host Rovilson Fernandez who happens to be a good friend of Vanness that she met Van Ness.</p><div><br/></div><p>“Before spreading false information please fact check first. Vanness personally gave us backstage access through his friendship with @rovilsonfernandez. Live Nation had nothing to do with it,” Ellen expressed.</p><div><br/></div><p>“I’ve been friends with Rovilson since before showbiz, and he’s been good friends with Vanness for years. They simply wanted to catch up, and we were fortunate enough to be invited along,” she added.</p><div><br/></div><p>The actress asserted that no special treatment was given to them. </p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2026/6/28/ellen-adarna-meets-f4-s-van-ness-wu-jowa-reveal-1847" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>READ: Ellen Adarna meets F4&#x27;s Van Ness Wu: ‘Jowa Reveal’</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>“Sometimes it&#x27;s simply called friendship. Next time, verify your information before making accusations. Pag inggit, pikit,” she said. </p><div><br/></div><p>In another screenshot that she shared on her Instagram Stories, a netizen questioned why she was standing so close to the Taiwanese-American actor in the photo.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1782869540975Screenshot 2026-07-01 at 07.56.42.png" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><p>“Diba may asawa ka pa? You are still married. Also, sobrang kala mo makukuha mo lahat ng gusto mo, napa-wife reveal tuloy si Vanness. Gurl, you need to heal. By the looks of it the only man you need is JESUS CHRIST. Don’t get lost any further, naka-dalawang panganay ka na,” the netizen questioned. </p><div><br/></div><p>“Di mo alam kung anong feel ng isang fan girl. Ma-unmarried na din ako in time. Wait ka lang. Tigilan mo na gamit na gamit na si Jesus sa mga taong katulad mo. Pangit mo ka bonding,” Ellen responded. </p><div><br/></div><p>Meanwhile, the F Forever 1st World Tour will continue in Bangkok this August. </p>
