MANILA, Philippines – Kim Chiu is putting to rest the incessant questions about whether or not she’s had plastic surgery in the past. Recently, Kim took to Instagram to talk abot the matter, posting a photo of her minor accident in 2014.

“Here it is.. Don’t want to post this na sana pero para matigil na (but I hope it will stop)… Some people don’t understand puberty and what makeup can do (thanks to my makeup artists). Ayan na po (Here it is), last 2014 I got into a car accident, and my nose got hit sa bakal ng (metal part of the) car, it was bleeding so hard na ayaw tumigil (it wouldn’t stop) that I was so scared. Kaya nag-pacheck up ako and pina X-ray (That’s why I had it checked and got an X-ray)…

“When i got the result, it’s kinda off kasi the nurse told me ‘ay Ma’am Kim tunay pala ilong mo?’ (Ma’am Kim, your nose is real). Kinda off yung nurse but I just walk away… #2014photo,” she wrote.
