Manila, Philippines- Isa si Julie Anne San Jose sa nag-perform sa isang benefit concert sa Mamburao, Mindoro, noong October 6, 2024 na pinamagatang Heavenly Harmony Concert, Harana Para Kay Maria, na ginanap sa simbahan ng Nuestra Señora Del Pilar Shrine.
Nag-trending ang video ng performance ng singer-actress kung saan humataw siya sa tugtuging Dancing Queen habang naka gown na may slit.
Pinuna ito ng ilang netizens dahil kumanta si Julie Anne sa altar na pinagmimisahan.
Dahil dito, naglabas ng apology si Julie Anne sa kanyang social media accounts kasunod ng kanyang viral performance na diumano’y pambabastos niya sa simbahang Katoliko.
Post ni Julie Anne, “I am offering my apologies.
“Even though my only intentions were to share joy and to give support to the church through the benefit concert, many have felt offended about the incident I was in and with my performance which caused distress.
“I truly, sincerely apologize. This is a lesson learned and it is assured that it will not be repeated,” pangako ng Kapuso star.
Pagpapatuloy pa niya, “I am not perfect but please know that I have strong beliefs and my faith is unbreakable and cannot be shaken.
“I pray that we can all move forward with compassion in our hearts.
“Thank you.”
Bago pa man nag-apologize si Julia Anne ay naglabas na rin ng statement ang management niya na Sparkle GMA Artist Center, na inako nila ang kasalanan sa kontrobersyang kinasasangkutan ng girlfriend ni Rayver Cruz.
Sabi nila, “Sparkle would like to officially address the current issue regarding Julie Anne San Jose’s performance at the Nuestra Señora Del Pilar Parish.
“Sparkle GMA Artist Center takes full responsibility for Julie Anne’s attendance at this event.
“It is our job to coordinate and clear details with the organizers and relay the instructions to our artist.
“Julie Anne only fulfilled her duties and commitment as a true professional.
“She is a devout Catholic and had no intention of disrespecting the Church or its members.
“We are truly sorry to those we have offended. We hope that this puts the issue to rest.
