Sofia Pablo on feud with Jillian Ward: 'We never got to talk about it'

Sofia Pablo opened up on the feud between her and fellow Sparkle star Jillian Ward.

In her GMA Integrated News interview together with Allen Ansay, Nelson Canlas asked the 18-year-old actress about the score between her and the Star of the New Gen.

"Actually, lagi siyang natatanong sa 'kin and I've always said na hindi kami magkaaway, hindi rin kami magkasundo or something," she said.

"Pero the truth is, I say that para iwas na issue sa amin both. Kumbaga, it's a feud na sobrang tagal na. I think one of the things kaya 'di namin siya naayos is because we never got to talk about it," she added.

Sofia said their conflict started way back in the first season of their GMA Afternoon Prime series "Prima Donnas," which began airing in 2019. However, she did not reveal the reason for it.

Sofia said she and Jillian were close before.

"Nagulat na lang ako biglang hindi na. Ganun 'yung nangyari sa amin. After nun, we never talked anymore," she said. "We're close tapos biglang wala na. Like literal wala na, in a snap, wala pong buwelo na ilangan. Literal, stopped."

Sofia said she does not want them to have an issue as they are both at the peak of their careers.

"People should stop making an issue about it. Like kung 'di kami OK, I don't see any problem with it. Kumbaga it's normal," she said. "You can't force friendship to reconcile out of nowhere."

The actress also revealed that she and "Prima Donnas" co-star Will Ashley also previously had a misunderstanding and they didn't talk for four years.

"He would just greet me on my birthday," she said. "Nagte-thank you naman po ako pero bukod doon kapag nagkikita kami, invisible."

Now, however, they have reconciled and star together in "Prinsesa ng City Jail."

"Before po we started taping we talked," she said. "I think darating naman din 'yun with Jillian. When the time is right, kapag may taong nag-start na, 'bakit 'di kayo mag-usap.' Kasi 'yun po 'yung nangyari with Will."

"Naging OK kami kasi we both wanted to be OK na. And now is not the right time [with Jillian] yet since kahit ako labong-labo rin ako."

"Prinsesa ng City Jail" premiered on GMA Afternoon Prime on Monday. It airs weekdays at 3:20 p.m. after "Lilet Matias: Attorney-At-Law."
