“Pero at that time po talaga, wala po talaga sila no’n. Hindi rin po talaga sila no’n,” she stressed.
The celebrity said the two became a couple later. She also mentioned that other relationships had happened in between, although she did not provide specific dates during that part of the conversation.
For her, the timing of their relationship was an important reason she continued to stand by them.
“At the end of the day, I will always stand by my sister and stand by James kasi they came together at the time na everything was clear,” she shared.
“So as long as they’re happy, I will always support them.”
Beyond denying the allegations, the actress acknowledged that conversations about the issue could still take an emotional toll.
She explained that hurtful remarks are difficult to brush aside, particularly when they come from people who were not personally present and do not know the full situation.
“Syempre lalo na kapagka ’yung mga tao sobrang hurtful,” she said.
Her response focused on how such comments can affect those involved. She also questioned how outsiders could know what actually happened or whether the claims they were repeating were true.
During the exchange, Ogie brought up a reported conversation between Yassi and Nadine. However, the actress did not recount their exact exchange in the portion provided. Instead, she discussed the impact of the allegations and reiterated her support for her sister.
The interview later shifted to a lighter question about marriage.
The host asked whether she had told Issa to let her get married first, joking about the possibility of their weddings happening close together.
“Wala pong gano’n,” she answered, dismissing the suggestion that she had imposed such a condition.
Asked about their relationship as sisters, Yassi described them as very close.
“We’re very close, and I think blessed po kami,” she shared before mentioning the longtime friends they have in common.
