Sharon denies endorsing weight loss pills
MANILA – Actress Sharon Cuneta cried foul on social media after a number of online advertisements for weight loss supplements used her name and image without her consent.
In a series of Facebook posts, Cuneta denied that she endorses weight loss pills, saying she has never used such products.
The mother of actress KC Concepcion went on to say that she has only been on a “doctor-supervised diet.”
She then urged her fans and followers to not believe in these ads which, she noted, also featured other local celebrities.
In an open letter posted on Facebook last year, Cuneta opened up about her problems with weight, noting “the demands of this industry I move around in.”
The actress, who hosted the first season of “The Biggest Loser Pinoy Edition” before leaving ABS-CBN in 2011, said she would like to be fit again.
Last year, actress Ruffa Gutierrez was featured in a series of ads about African diet pills, which turned out to be a hoax.
“Do not believe fake, paid advertisements saying that I lost weight due to African diet pills. It’s a lie!” Gutierrez said in a statement on her official website at the time.
