A VIETNAMESE girl named Minh Phuong (also known as Emma) made a statement on Instagram about her alleged involvement with actor Daniel Padilla.
Since last year, Phuong had received threats from Padilla’s fans because of these speculations.
An Appeal to Filipino Fans
“I know you guys love and appreciate your idol. I also feel the same to the artists I support, but please be civilized and polite. Please be a cultured person. You guys have threatened my life and my job, sent messages and spammed my family and friends. This is something I would not wish to happen to anyone,” she wrote on her Instagram post.
Phuong said she had only exchanged a few words with Padilla when he visited her brother’s bar in Vietnam in 2023.
“Since last year, I have received a lot of messages from fans and supporters of Daniel Padilla, a famous actor in the Philippines. It is known that Daniel visited Vietnam last year with his friends. Prior to his visit in my country, I have never met him.”
She claimed that Daniel went to the bar (that her brother owned), and her brother told her that Daniel was there and that she can say hi to him as he is a famous actor. “I saw Daniel and his friends in the bar, exchanged a few words, and then I went back home with my sister. That is the end of my interaction with him.”
Phuong said she doesn’t know who “Johnnymoonlightz” was and she does not care to know who’s behind it. She asked the public to stop spreading rumors about her being linked to Daniel.
“I am a common Vietnamese citizen. I work, hang out with my friends, meet people, and live my life normally. I hope you maintain dignity and respect when coming to my social media, and please do not act without thinking.”
