Luke Conde addresses past gossip about him: ‘Di ko alam kung sobrang pagpa-fantasize’

Luke Conde said that he found the past gossip that involved him funny, and at the same time, he pitied the person who started the tittle-tattle.

On Thursday’s “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,” the Sparkle star looked back at the rumor that started with a blind item post on social media.

“Merong nag-claim na naka-date daw n’ya ako and parang na-meet n’ya ako sa isang bar sa BGC. Parang blind item type siya eh, nagbigay lang siya ng hint and clues,” Luke said.

“People picked up na ako because of the image na pinost niya. So parang kli-naim ng mga tao, inassume ng mga tao na ako ‘yon. So ‘yon, umikot siya sa social media,” he added.

When asked if he looked like the mystery person in the post, Luke said, “Actually, hindi kamukha kasi parang back siya eh.”

The first blind item was then followed by more, which Luke said he found funny.

“Parang nanganak siya ng mga blind item na—actually, in-include pa ‘yung experience ko with Hashtags, mga ganoon pa. Sabi ko, parang nakakatawa kasi ‘di ko alam kung sobrang pagpa-fantasize o papunta na siya sa delusion,” he said.

“Parang nagke-create na kasi sila ng story na parang—hindi ko alam kung maa-appreciate mo pa ‘yun o matatawa ka na lang. Maaawa ka for them eh.”

Luke found out about the gossip through a friend who sent him the post.

“Sinend niya lang sa ‘kin kung aware ako tapos nung nalaman ko, unang reaksyon ko is natawa po ako kasi parang nasobrahan po kasi talaga ako doon sa kuwento n’ya na parang ang galing n’yang scriptwriter.”

Luke said that he was rather concerned about his family seeing the issue.

“Kasi may social media ‘yung mama ko, may social media ‘yung ate ko. So parang partly, I’m praying na hindi makarating sa kanila ‘yung mga ganoong klaseng posts,” he said, agreeing that he’s now used to experiencing things like this.

Luke was a member of the boy band #Hashtag before he officially became a Kapuso in June 2021.

Luke has made appearances in Kapuso shows, including “Magpakailanman,” “Tadhana,” “Stories From The Heart,” “Dear Uge,” and “Daig Kayo Ng Lola Ko.”
