Boy Abunda defends Maris Racal amid leaked conversation controversy

Veteran host Boy Abunda shared his perspective on the issue involving actresses Maris Racal and Anthony Jennings.

In a video statement, Racal took responsibility and asserted that Jennings had claimed to be single when they began their relationship.

Racal also expressed feeling embarrassed after screenshots of their conversations were leaked without her permission.

Abunda questioned the intensity of the public's anger towards Racal, suggesting societal double standards for women who are assertive or make the first move.

He posited that the public's reaction would likely have been different if the leaked messages had originated from a man, potentially viewed as 'hot' rather than scandalous.
