The Kadenang Ginto actress revealed that she began her fight against anorexia in the first few months of playing the aforementioned show’s Romina. “When I started the show, I was anorexic. I was a hundred pounds,” she admitted.
Beauty had mentioned in previous interviews and press events the pressure she received from body-shamers and those who would insult her weight. She also struggled with the feeling that she’s “been fat for almost all [her] life.”
However, she was able to turn it all around. “I’m the healthiest I’ve been now in my life. Pero sa totoo lang [In all honesty], this is the best who I am right now,” Beauty assured the press. “It’s a blessing to be alive right now and to be healthy. I’m happy to be here and healthy.”
