Beauty brand expresses support for Maris Racal following cheating scandal with Anthony Jennings
A beauty brand expressed support for its ambassador Maris Racal following her cheating controversy with Anthony Jennings that became a hot topic on social media for days.
“To err is human, to forgive is divine, keep glowing,” Snail White Philippines wrote on its Instagram story on Monday, Dec. 9.
The actress was announced as the newest ambassador of Snail White Philippines on Dec. 3, just a few hours before her cheating scandal with started making the rounds online.
The skincare brand's show of support for Racal came a few days after cosmetic brand Dazzle Me announced its decision to end its partnership with her a day after her controversy broke out on social media.
“After thoughtful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to end our partnership with Maris Racal. Working with her has been an amazing journey—her energy, humor, and authenticity resonated deeply with our vision of a bold and inspiring Gen Z icon," its Dec. 5 statement read. "However, we determined that moving in a different direction is necessary to remain consistent with the principles that guide our brand."
Social media noise broke out on Dec. 3 after Jennings' ex-girlfriend, Jam Villanueva, shared text exchanges between the love team, which showed that the two had an intimate affair while the actor was still with Villanueva. She also posted photos of the two seemingly getting cozy during their work trips together.
"I've been trying to hold myself together through everything that's been happening. But after hearing all the things being said about me—about my character, my intentions, and even my family, I can’t stay silent any longer,” Jam said in her initial story entry. "There's only so much silence a person can bear when rumors twist the truth. I'm sharing this because I need to set the record straight—not to create more drama, but because I deserve to be heard, just like anyone else."
"When Maris came into the picture, I was genuinely happy for you both. I even chose to be supportive, despite the red flags I couldn't ignore. I respected your craft. I believed in you both. But betrayal like this cuts deep,” she added.
Racal and Jennings have apologized for what they did in separate statements.
