Heart Evangelista on dealing with backstabbers: ‘It always happens’

Heart Evangelista got real—and at the same time literal—about dealing with backstabbers, saying that encountering such people is almost unavoidable.

The fashion personality spoke about this in a video on her TikTok page on Wednesday, April 17, in response to a fan who asked: “What do you do when someone backstabs you?”

“Ito lang mabibigay kong advice: It always happens and it’ll always happen,” she said.

The actress then shifted to a lighter tone and quipped, “So ‘wag kang tatalikod—maintain. Gano’n lang dapat.”

“Matatamaan ang kabuhayan showcase,” she continued, referring to her face. “Pwede pang i-conceal ‘yung likod.”

Netizens found Evangelista’s response hilarious but agreed with her anyway, with some saying backstabbers will always be behind the fashion personality—”where they are supposed to be.”

“I love the humor!” one TikTok user said.

“Tama. That’s why they’re always at the back,” another netizen commented.

Earlier this year, Evangelista opened up about the “damage” caused to her by people she was once close to, admitting she feels the need to be “perfect” because they “paint [her] as a bad person.”

In a more recent interview held in March, the actress said she regarded trusting other people too much as her greatest mistake.

While Evangelista didn’t name anyone in particular in her statements, Evangelista made headlines in 2023 after she had a falling-out with her former makeup artists and close friends Jeck Aguilar and Justin Louise Soriano.
