After days of silence amid growing online tension between his partner Abegail Cariquitan and talent manager Beverly Labadlabad, Filipino singer Elias Lintucan has finally spoken out.
On Monday afternoon, July 7, 2025, Elias addressed the issue via a video posted on his official Facebook page, Elias J. TV. The heartfelt statement came after fans flooded social media with speculations and heated commentary surrounding his personal and professional relationships.
“I usually stay quiet when it comes to online drama or bashing,” Elias began. “But this time, it’s different—because it involves the people I love.”
Elias went on to express his unwavering support and gratitude for his partner, Abegail, more popularly known as Abby. According to the rising music star, Abby has been with him long before he gained national recognition, supporting him through his journey from local gigs to mainstream attention. “Abby believed in me when no one else did. That kind of love and loyalty deserves respect,” he said.
The singer also addressed rumors involving his manager, Beverly Labadlabad, which some netizens had speculated to be the root of the conflict. Elias emphasized that his relationship with Beverly is strictly professional and clarified that she has played a key role in managing his career with dedication and focus.
“Beverly is my manager—nothing more, nothing less,” he stated firmly. “She has helped me grow as an artist, and I’m thankful for her guidance. But people need to stop reading into things that aren’t there.”
Elias called for an end to the online bashing, asking his supporters to respect the people in his life. He urged netizens to think before sharing harmful comments, especially when families are involved.
The online spat had gained attention over the weekend after subtle jabs were exchanged through social media posts, hinting at growing tension between Abby and Beverly. Though neither woman publicly named the other, fans were quick to connect the dots.
With Elias finally breaking his silence, many hope the drama will simmer down. The singer concluded his message with a plea: “Let’s focus on spreading love, not hate. I just want to make music and take care of my family.”
