Young actress Bianca King, along with her parents Suzanne and Brian King, granted an interview with 24 Oras last night, January 16, to defend herself against Jean Saburit's claim that she is a bad influence on her daughter, Nicole Anderson.
At the time 24 Oras called Jean Saburit, the actress was crying because Nicole had not come home yet. She also expressed resentment against Bianca for not telling her that Nicole was with her.
Bianca, however, denied this claim. In an interview with Lhar Santiago, the young actress said, "On the day that she [Nicole] had me pick her up, she texted both her parents, so they both knew that she was with us, with the family..."
Suzanne King, Bianca's mother, supported her daughter with her own explanation. She said, "With Jean, I did text her back but she didn't reply, so I didn't... You know, if I sent it to the wrong number. I sent it twice again but she did not even call. Now, Nicole told me that she agrees and it's okay with her that she's with us because she knows us."
Bianca also answered Jean's allegation that she is a bad influence on Nicole. The 20-year-old actress said, "We could not dictate anything to her and in any way because Nicole is 18. She has the mind of her own to decide at her peace how she wants to be with her life."
Meanwhile, Bianca's German father, Brian King, defended his daughter by describing Bianca as a good daughter. "When my daughter was four or five years old, I was her walking hero. Well, now, about 17 years later, she's my walking hero. She does everything for her family, she helps us. She's not only my daughter, she's also my friend," said Brian.
Bianca admitted that she is bothered by the negative comments about her concerning this issue between Jean and Nicole. She reiterated that she never meddled in their problem
She said, "Hindi po siguro kami nakikisawsaw in any way, kasi all we would do during the time that Nicole was really under our roof is encourage her to make peace with her mom."
In the end, Bianca left a message for Jean. She said, "Sorry for any pain your feeling and we hope that whatever issues that you have with Nicole, that you both be able to settle it soon because she needs you."
GMA-7 News tried to contact Jean Saburit again but the actress refused to give another interview. The actress said that she would consult his lawyer first before making any further statement.
