The world of Philippine showbiz is once again rocked by a bombshell revelation—this time coming from veteran actress Cherry Pie Picache, who has boldly spoken out about a dark chapter in the rumored relationship between Edu Manzano and Jessy Mendiola. In an interview that has since gone viral, Cherry Pie dropped shocking details that no one expected, pulling back the curtain on what was once a carefully hidden secret.

“People only saw the surface,” Cherry Pie said. “But behind the smiles and handshakes, there was a lot more going on than anyone knew.”

According to Cherry Pie, who had close ties to both parties at the time, the relationship between Edu and Jessy was not as smooth or simple as it seemed. She claimed there were moments of tension, manipulation, and emotional strain that the public never saw. “There was a power imbalance,” she explained, “and one of them was always trying to hold the upper hand.”

Though the two never made their relationship official to the public, Cherry Pie confirmed that the connection was real—and intense. “It wasn’t just a fling,” she said. “There were emotions involved. And it left scars.”

One of the most controversial parts of Cherry Pie’s statement was her claim that their relationship overlapped with other ongoing affairs. “There were times Jessy would call me crying,” she revealed. “She felt trapped between admiration and confusion. Edu had a way of charming people, but he could also be cold.”

She added that Jessy confided in her about feeling lost. “She didn’t know if what they had was real or just something convenient for the moment. She was very young. And he was… well, very experienced.”

The revelation has shocked fans, especially considering that Jessy later became romantically involved with Edu’s son, Luis Manzano, whom she eventually married. Many are now questioning whether Luis was aware of the emotional history between his father and wife. Some sources claim he knew and chose to accept it. Others believe this latest bombshell may spark new conflict within the Manzano family.

Netizens are now flooding social media with reactions, ranging from disbelief to outrage. “Is this real? How did we not know?” one user posted. Another commented, “No wonder there’s always been tension between certain people in showbiz!”

Cherry Pie clarified that she had no intention of stirring controversy but felt the truth needed to come out. “I stayed silent for a long time, but I saw what it did to Jessy. And I think people deserve honesty.”

When asked why she chose to speak now, Cherry Pie responded, “Sometimes the past comes knocking. And when it does, you either hide or face it head-on.”

Representatives for both Edu Manzano and Jessy Mendiola have yet to respond to the allegations. Neither has released a public statement, though close sources say both are “shocked and disappointed” by the sudden exposure of a part of their lives they thought was long buried.

Tensions are reportedly running high behind the scenes, with family members and close friends being urged to stay quiet. Some insiders say Luis Manzano has chosen to “stay neutral,” but is “privately devastated” by how things are unfolding.

Meanwhile, Cherry Pie stands by her words. “This isn’t about revenge,” she said. “It’s about clarity. It’s about people understanding that even those who look perfect on the outside can have complicated, painful histories.”

The entertainment industry is no stranger to scandal, but this one cuts deeper than most—touching on family, trust, and the blurred lines between love and manipulation.

As the story continues to unfold, fans are waiting for statements, clarifications, or possibly even confrontations. One thing is certain: the silence from Edu and Jessy is only fueling the fire. And Cherry Pie’s revelation has officially reopened a chapter everyone thought was closed forever.
