Billy Crawford denies rumored romance with Coleen Garcia

MANILA, Philippines - Billy Crawford shot back at netizens who claimed Coleen Garcia was the cause of his breakup with Nikki Gil.

The Kapamilya host’s statement was posted on Vice Ganda’s Instagram page (@praybeytbenjamin), wherein the comedian posted a photo of“It’s Showtime” hosts Vice, Anne Curtis, Vhong Navarro, Jhong Hilario, Ryan Bang, Teddy Corpuz, at Jugs Jugueta with the caption “I missed my Showtime sibs a lot. Great to be back.”

Vice is currently on leave from the program due to polyps on his vocal cords.

Other “It’s Showtime” hosts Kim Atienza, Karylle, Billy, and Coleen were not present in the photo.

This prompted some Instagram users to ask if Coleen was the third party behind the Billy-Nikki split.

But Billy replied: “What the hell is wrong with you people? There is nothing about me and Coleen! You guys are just so wrong man. May problema kayo sa 'kin, ako na lang. Wag nyong idamay mga taong walang kinalaman sa hiwalay namin ni Nikki.”

He added: “Punta kayo sa ABS harapin nyo ako. Lakas nyo magsalita tungkol sa kung anong nangyayari eh. Pero wala kayong alam!!!”

“As much as I’m lost and unhappy. You guys got major problems with your lives. Narrow minded people! Open your eyes and look in the mirror and ask yourself. Are you content with your life talking about others. Of course not, you guys are perfect! May God bless you all!!! Not even being sarcastic. Bless you all.”

Vice also posted a comment regarding the issue.

“Hope u guys who are busy meddling in Billy/Nikki issue find REAL HAPPINESS with what you’re doing. God bless!” he said.

Billy opened up about his breakup with Nikki on Sunday in a live interview with ABS-CBN’s showbiz talk show “The Buzz.” In the interview, the Kapamilya host said the breakup “all boils down” to him and that Nikki “has no fault.”

“I am not a perfect guy. I’m not a perfect person. I’ve done things in my life that I regret. And she supported me, she understood,” he said.

Billy, who will leave for the United States on August 3 to spend time with his parents, said his interview with “The Buzz” is the last time he’ll talk about the issue.

Nikki has yet to issue a statement regarding the split.
