Jasmine Curtis-Smith admitted that she had a difficult time dealing with the controversy surrounding a so-called "audio scandal" which had fans speculating about her ties with actor Daniel Padilla.
The 90-second clip made the rounds online in September and, by Padilla's admission, strained his relationship with his love team partner and rumored girlfriend Kathryn Bernardo.
The two have since patched things up.
In a live interview on "Aquino & Abunda Tonight" on Wednesday, Curtis-Smith said her first step after her name got dragged into the controversy was to talk with the parties involved.
"Siyempre po noong una, nahirapan ako, but I had the advice of the right people. I had the right people around me. Ang maganda, hindi ako nahirapan i-approach 'yung mga taong kasama doon sa isyu na 'yon," said the actress, who is in a relationship with singer Sam Concepcion.
Curtis-Smith added: "Sinigurado ko na nakausap ko silang lahat, na kahit papaano, naka-reach out ako para maayos 'yon. Kahit sa amin man lang, 'yung mga pangalan na nasama doon sa isyu."
Asked specifically if she was able to speak with Bernardo, who admittedly got affected by the controversy, Curtis-Smith said, "I reached out to her, yeah."
In her first interview last September addressing the issue, Curtis-Smith admitted exchanging text messages with Padilla, but emphasized that she is not romantically involved with him. The two met as first time co-stars in the upcoming biopic "Bonifacio: Ang Unang Pangulo."
