Julie Anne San Jose defended Rayver Cruz on social media after they taped GMA’s Sunday show, All Out Sundays.
In the episode, Rayver was seen goofy and playful with Julie Anne and hitting her on the head. A netizen screen-recorded the scene and uploaded it on X (formerly Twitter).
The netizen wrote: “May pa drug test ba kayo @gmanetwork at @AllOutSundays7 bago mag prod or pumasok ang artists niyo? Mukhang nakalusot eh. Ang lala ni Rayver Cruz, lasing ba siya or naka marijuana? Tamang laughtrip at kita na sabog eh.”
This did not sit well with Julie Anne. The Filipino actress and singer commented on the netizen’s post.
“Minsan lang po ako sumagot sa mga ganto but sobra ka na po. Below the belt and harsh na po itong accusations, please stop,” she commented.
