Why Maria Ozawa wants to apologize to Kris

MANILA - Former porn star Maria Ozawa wants to apologize to Kris Aquino after a "report" from a satirical news website, which quoted both of them to have insulted each other, misled netizens as it went viral in recent weeks.

The Japanese performer, who took the stage at FHM Bro-Con over the weekend, addressed the issue on the sidelines of the event held at SMX Convention Center in Pasay City.

"I was surprised," she told reporters. "I don't know who said it first, but everybody was making a big deal out of it. If I have a chance to speak to her (Aquino) one day, I'll just apologize."

The satirical website, Manila Link, published the fake report after Ozawa said she was willing to date President Benigno Aquino III, the brother of Kris.

"Ilang lalake na gumamit sa kanya?" Kris supposedly said, referring to Ozawa.

Another fake story from the same website then quoted Ozawa to have said, responding to Kris, "Not as many as you."

Kris earlier denied making any statement against Ozawa. In a statement to PEP.ph, the TV host said: "I was never asked, so how can I comment? ... Sa akin lang, kung mag-iingay, sana huwag na akong gamitin."

Meanwhile, in a video interview with men's magazine UNO, Ozawa also denied saying anything against Kris. Like the ABS-CBN star, Ozawa said she was never asked on the matter.

"I never had that interview," she said. "I was wondering who made that story up and why they would do such a thing, to make it look like we're fighting. I was surprised. Why would people do that? I'm so sorry for everybody."

Asked if she was serious about her earlier statement about dating the President, Ozawa answered: "It was a joke! I'm sorry about people making it so serious and it became news. I'm sorry."

Ozawa is returning to the Philippines next month to start filming "Nilalang," wherein she will co-star with Robin Padilla. The horror film, which marks her local showbiz debut, is one of eight entries in the 2015 Metro Manila Film Festival.

"#AngelForUnoMagazine is definitely one thing we can finally cross off the UNO wishlist (though of course we’d love to have her back!)," UNO said on its Facebook page.

It added: "Without a doubt the sweetest, funniest and most down-to-earth, Manila’s sexiest woman teases us with cheekiness in her eyes that leaves us tongue-tied. Angel Locsin is definitely the best way to toast 12 years."
