Michelle Dee is now an ‘ate-manager’ to brother Abraham Lawyer amid his growing popularity

Aside from being a beauty queen and actress, Michelle Dee now has a new responsibility to play as she is now her brother Abraham Lawyer’s "ate-ger,” or ate and manager!

In Lhar Santiago’s report on “24 Oras,” Friday, Michelle expressed her full support for Abraham should he want to pursue a showbiz career.

“We have the same mindset,” the Sparkle actress said.

“If an opportunity presents itself, then that's to be assessed, and try to figure out if it works in his career path or his life plan. It's just a matter of whether he'll stay here in the Philippines or go back to the US,” Michelle added.

Abraham is Michelle's half-brother to mother Miss International 1979, Melanie Marquez, and American husband Adam Lawyer.

In a recent interview on “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,” Abraham was asked if he was open to joining showbiz, and he simply answered, "Yeah," with Michelle adding that they are "a family of like if there's opportunity then grab it."

Abraham was present in El Salvador with their sister, Maxine Dee, when Michelle competed in the recent Miss Universe.

Michelle finished Miss Universe in the Top 10 and won four special awards, including Best National Costume. —Carby Basina/LDF, GMA Integrated News
