Cristy denies causing Kris’s plan to leave The Buzz

"Hindi pa kami nakakapag-usap pero kung bubuksan mo ang puso ko, wala na sa akin ‘yon," says The Buzz co-host Cristy Fermin about her rift with Kris Aquino in an interview with PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) earlier today, April 18. She continues, "Iyong damdamin ko para sa kaniya... Anak-anakan ko pa rin ‘yon. Hindi ko naman puwedeng itapon ang isang batang tulad niya at saka sa kaniya rin siguro [hindi niya kayang gawin 'yon]. Hindi nga lang nga kami nakakapag-usap-usap." All about Hope. Kris and Cristy had a falling out after the latter reportedly told Kris about the affair of James Yap—Kris's husband—and a former Belo Medical Group employee named Hope Centeno. Cristy was said to have known about the affair since January, but only told Kris about it in February. After the revelation, Kris allegedly started to ignore Cristy during their live show. Cristy was said to have been affected by the way Kris was treating her. In her defense, Cristy said she was waiting for the "tamang pagkakataon" before she reveals anything to Kris. To her, reports said, she was looking out for Kris and the health of Baby James, Kris's unborn child. Three is a crowd? There have been reports that Kris won't be returning to The Buzz, which she co-hosts with Boy Abunda and Cristy, after her maternity leave. "Ang sure na sure talaga ‘yong Kapamilya Deal or No Deal sa June 18," Kris said in a taped interview with The Buzz on April 15. "Alam ko napapabalita ako na baka hindi na ako bumalik sa The Buzz. Wag na tayong magpaka-plastic dahil nasa lahat ng mga tabloid at sa mga radio. "Kung ano man magiging desisyon ko will happen 'pag lumabas na ‘yong baby. Of course, hindi niyo rin maaalis na dalawa na kasi ‘yong anak ko so iba rin ‘yong priorities. Iniisip ko rin na it's Sunday, but of course, puwede naming dalhin si Baby James sa studio..." PEP asks Cristy if her rift with Kris is the cause why Kris is undecided whether to return to The Buzz or not. "Palagay ko hindi. Gusto lang talaga niya sigurong bigyan talaga ng sapat na panahon si Josh at ang magiging anak nila ni James, at natural 'yon para sa isang magulang. Pinapangarap ko rin 'yon, e," the tabloid columnist answers. She adds, "Mas gusto ko siyang mag-The Buzz kasi mahalaga siyang sangkap ng programa. Isa siya sa pinanonood sa programa. Hindi naman mamamatay ang programa 'pag wala siya, pero dagdag na sangkap siya sa pampalasa at pampasarap ng programa." Nanay. Cristy says that despite of her tiff with Kris, Kris is still in her prayers. "Naku, mahal ko ‘yon! Hindi ko kayang itapon at hindi rin niya ako kayang itapon, ako na ang nagsasabi. Napakalalim ng pagkakaibigan para wasakin ng isang isyu lang," she says. She also says that they will probably talk to each other when Kris comes back from her maternity leave. She explains, "Kasi sa ngayon, alam naman natin na delikado ang kaniyang pagdadalang-tao. Kahit mga kaibigan namin dito, hindi siya gaano nakakausap dahil kailangan niyang mag bed rest, di ba? Palagay ko hindi ito 'yong takdang panahon para pag-usapan ang mga problema kasi siyempre makakadagdag pa sa problema niya, di ba?" "Wala nang galit. Nagtampo lang ako. Iba naman kasi ang tampo sa galit. Natural lang sa nanay-nanayan 'yong nagtatampo pero iyong galit—andami nang nanakit sa amin ng mas matindi pa, siya pa kaya?" ends Cristy.- Philippine Entertainment Portal
