On June 10, model-actress Ana Jalandoni recalled how she continued filming for her upcoming movie, ‘The Revelation’ despite getting physically assaulted by her ex-boyfriend, Kit Thompson.
At the media conference for ‘The Revelation’ which LionhearTV covered, Jalandoni cited how she continued fighting for her work and career after the incident.
She narrated, “‘Yung time na ‘yun actually, may nagpe-play sa ano ko, sa isip ko. Kahit na nandoon kami, pero nilalaban ko na trabaho ‘to. So focus ako sa work talaga. isinasantabi ko ‘yung personal emotion ko.”
In March 2022, police found Jalandoni in a hotel room in Tagaytay City. This was after Thompson physically assaulted the model actress out of jealousy.
Jalandoni then asserted that she had already made up her mind when she took on the project. This was even after getting badly beaten by her ex.
She shared, “Hindi naman po, kasi bago naman po kami mag-start, bago mangyari ‘yung nangyaring insidente sa Tagaytay, nabasa ko naman ‘yung script na eh. So parang naka-play na siya sa utak ko. So alam ko na ‘yung gagawin ko. Di ako nagpa-apekto doon sa nangyari sa akin.”
When asked whether there was a connection between her sexy scenes in the movie and the incident in Tagaytay City, Jalandoni clarified that Thompson didn’t mind her taking on sexy roles.
“Hindi naman po, wala naman po.
“Alam naman po niya, sa amin naman po kasi, kapag work, work tayo eh. Ganon naman po eh, professional naman.”
‘The Revelation’ stars Vin Abrenica, Jelai Andres, Jalandoni, and Aljur Abrenica.
