Michelle Dee airs frustration after car is stolen by acquaintance: 'Be careful who you trust'
Miss Universe Philippines 2023 Michelle Dee, who is currently in France for 2024 Paris Fashion Week, aired her frustration after finding out that her car was stolen and recently retrieved in the Philippines.
On Instagram, the beauty queen narrated how an unnamed "regular creative and his girlfriend" who used to work and lived in one of her apartments in Manila "admitted responsibility" over the stolen car.
Through this incident, Michelle was saddened by the fact that some people she trusted would go against her.
"It’s honestly so unfortunate when you trust, forgive, and build people up only for them to go behind you and prioritize their own personal agendas. My supporters from day one would probably decipher who this is but let’s stay calm and hope he delivers," she said.
According to the 29-year-old, she is currently handling the case "internally."
"If my deliverables, properties that are under their possession and materials that are under signed valued storage aren't returned[,] then my hand will be forced to take their names and this story to the press," Michelle said.
"Professionalism and proper communication is all we asked for. As always, love, respect, and kindness," she continued.
Michelle also urged her followers to share her sentiments so that it would not happen to anyone else while reminding them to be careful who they trust.
Michelle is currently in France for this year's Paris Fashion Week. She's been seen sporting her new platinum blonde hair alongside Heart Evangelista, Sarah Lahbati, Pia Wurtzbach, Max Collins, and R'Bonney Gabriel, among others.
Recently, she opened Michael Cinco's show in The Westin Paris - Vendome together with Pia.
