Liza Soberano has directly addressed an old rumor that she had an abortion.
“I was accused of that during the time I got operated on in the States for my finger,” the actress said of the issue while doing a “lie detector test” in Bea Alonzo’s latest YouTube vlog. “I was so frustrated about that.”
Liza recalled that there were blind items by one person about it and that it was “super obvious” that these were referring to her. But the ironic thing was, the blind item came out on the day she was being wheeled into the operating room for her surgery.
The rumor started when Liza wasn’t posting on social media since she sustained an injury on the set of Bagani although “I wasn’t allowed to talk about it for some reason.” The injury also cost her the Darna project.
“Paano ako magpo-post, I was wearing a cast, and I was always sick ’cause I was taking antibiotics constantly,” she revealed.
Before traveling to the States, she also gained weight. She had stopped from two years of working out for Darna.
And if she did become pregnant at that time, she wouldn’t hide it because “I was in a really good relationship that was accepted by my people.”
“If I did get pregnant, why wouldn’t I come forward with it?” she added.
When she eventually posted a picture of her injury, some people however refused to believe it.
“It’s just sad that I couldn’t defend myself like that so I had to post the picture na nagpa-opera ako and for some reason people still didn’t believe it,” Liza lamented.
Nevertheless, Liza stressed that she wouldn’t opt for an abortion for an unplanned pregnancy due to her personal beliefs.
“I would never get an abortion because that’s not just something I believe in personally,” she stated.
