Just like Issa, netizens are accusing Yassi of being the *third party* in Coco Martin and Julia Montes’ rumored relationship.

We’ve all heard of it by now: James Reid and Issa Pressman just *hard-launched* their relationship on Instagram, which was met with mixed reactions from netizens with some JaDine fans expressing *disappointment* over the news.

Here’s a rewind: Back in 2020, Issa was actually *rumored* to be the third party in James’ relationship with his reel-to-real partner Nadine Lustre, and now that they have seemingly ~confirmed~ their dating status, netizens speculate that the rumors were true after all.

Naturally, Issa’s sister, Yassi Pressman, was quick to defend her from bashers. “Just don’t agree with people making fake conspiracies only to hurt other people. Let’s stop being only opinionated, but try harder to be educated with facts,” she shared on Twitter. “‘Cause if the words you threw around were tattooed on you, would you walk around proud?”

Yassi’s post garnered angry replies from netizens saying that she’s *enabling* her sister, as they believe that Issa broke the “girl code” for dating her friend’s ex.

“It’s disgusting that you don’t find it weird that your sister is now dating your bff’s ex-boyfriend (bf for 4years),” says one netizen. “Take note that Issa is also a friend of Nadine. Sige kunwari ‘di nag-cheat, konting hiya, respeto, at delikadeza sana.”

Adding fuel to the fire, speculations of Yassi being the alleged *third party* in Coco Martin and Julia Montes’ rumored relationship back when she portrayed Alyana Dalisay in the hit teleserye FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano also resurfaced. Netizens even posted screenshots of Julia allegedly liking posts about telling someone to ~back off~ from people in committed relationships.

However, the actress denied the allegations in a 2019 interview, saying that Coco is just a “really good friend.”
