Herlene Budol talked about the controversy she went through

Kapuso actress Herlene Budol admitted that she sought psychiatric help because of her issue with Kapuso actor Rob Gomez.

Herlene and Rob worked together in the series Magandang Dilag as onscreen partners. At that time, the actor was still together with his ex-girlfriend Shaila Rebortera.

Later on, Rob’s intimate conversation with Herlene was posted on the actor’s Instagram page. Because of this, the two Kapuso stars were bashed and criticized online, and accused of being a “kabit.”

Netizens also mocked Herlene Budol because of her “kain” message to Rob Gomez. Eventually, the actress turned this into a positive thing for her. She said that she was able to move on because she was not guilty and that bad publicity is still publicity.

In a recent interview, based on the article in PEP, Herlene admitted that she asked for help from a psychiatrist in dealing with the controversy.

“Nagpadoktor po ako para, I mean po, ma-process po siya nang maayos sa akin kung bakit may mga ganung klase ng tao na talagang hihilahin ka pababa kapag alam nilang itinataas ka ng Panginoon…,” she said.

She wanted to accept what people were saying about her and to overcome what she was going through at that time.

Herlene also admitted that it was hard for her and it was difficult moving on from that chapter of her life. However, now, she can say that she has moved on. Then, she said, “Ang tanong, naka-move on na ba ang mga tao?”

Herlene Budol now has a new series titled Binibining Marikit. She was asked if the controversy would not repeat. “Wala na pong kainan na magaganap!” she quipped. Her leading men in the series are Tony Labrusca at Kevin Dasom.

Previously, Tony revealed that he really prayed to have a project with Herlene and he was so happy that it was realized.
