So siyempre para sa akin hindi maganda 'yun lalo at nanggaling sa fans ko. Siyempre pangit naman na marinig ko sa fans ko 'yun, nasisira ang pangalan ko. Kasi siyempre hindi naman alam ng mga fans kung ano ang totoo diyan eh,'</i> said Miho.</div><div><br/></div><div>According to her, this is the first time that Joey did something like that.</div><div><br/></div><div><i>'Kasi bago mag-April 9 PA ko pa siya.

Tapos meron akong nabalitaan na kakilala ko na ka-text niya si Joey. Kasi meron akong kakilala na kakilala rin ni Joey, na nagtetext rin sa kanya. So tinatanong ko sak anya kung 'Baka ka-text mo si Joey pakisabi sa kanya replayan niya ako at sagutin niya ang tawag ko.' Pero nag-reply daw si Joey sa kanya na 'Ayaw kong mag-reply. Wala daw siyang balak magreply.''</i></div><div><br/></div><div>The former<i> Pinoy Big Brother</i> alumna shared that some fans even advised Joey to take up his issues with Miho.</div><div><br/></div><div><i>'Sabi niya nahihiya daw siya kasi wala pang pera si Miho ganon ang sinasabi niya sa fans,'</i> she said.</div><div><br/></div><div>While Joey was not able to get money from her fans, Miho said that he also attempted to get some from her stylist.</div><div><br/></div><div>Miho revealed that she and Joey are actually cousins.

Isa pa hindi naman kasi totoo ang sinabi ni Joey. Pinapakain ko siya, pangalawa sinuswelduhan ko siya and pangatlo kapag nawawalan ako ng pera or nagtitipid ako, sinasabi ko sa kanya pero hindi ko siya tinitipiran. Sinasabi ko sa kanya direchuhan,</i>' she said.</div><div><br/></div><div><i>'So 'yung mga sinasabi ng fans na galing kay Joey, kung nao-offend ka man sila sa akin wala akong magagawa kasi siyempre tao lang naman tayo pero siyempre hindi naman totoo ang sinasabi ni Joey,'</i> Miho ended.</div><div><br/></div><div><i>Photo credit to Miho Nishida's Instagram</i></div>
