Heart Evangelista came to the defense of her fellow actress Marian Rivera, after a netizen seemingly tried to lecture the latter about “class” by using the fashion personality as an example.

The netizen’s remark came after Evangelista recently shared photos of her reunion with fellow actresses Anne Curtis and Solenn Heussaff, through her TikTok page.

Fan account @Espressoww commented, “Ganito ang class, Marian—sa kilos, sa salita, at sa pag-uugali.” (This is how you exude class, Marian—through actions, words and behavior.)

Evangelista did not let this slide as she responded to the netizen, expressing disapproval over the latter’s remark.

“‘Wag gano’n (Don’t be like that). Marian is a woman of her own,” she replied.

Several other netizens chimed in on the comments section and admired Evangelista for standing up for Rivera.

In 2023, Evangelista and Rivera revealed that they had reconciled their friendship after a conflict that started in 2011. The actresses opted not to expound on how their reconciliation happened.

“We’ve always liked each other, and it’s a true testament that queens should always support each other,” Evangelista said at the time.

Rivera, for her part, declared, “My heart is happy. Everything is finally peaceful in God’s perfect time.” /ra
