Heart Evangelista isn't one to stay silent when rumors swirl, and this time, she's addressing the buzz about an alleged rift with Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach. In a candid statement on Tuesday, Heart put an end to the speculation, making it clear that there was never any bad blood between her and Pia.

"Once and for all, woman to woman, I never had a problem with Pia," Heart said, leaving no room for doubt. "In fact, I was one of those who cheered for her in the past. And I like to think it was the same for her."

So, what's the source of all this drama? According to Heart, it's not about her or Pia personally but rather the company Pia keeps. "It's the people that she chose to surround herself with for specific reasons that makes this whole thing problematic," Heart added, hinting that the real issue lies in certain individuals stirring the pot.

While she didn't dive into specifics, Heart's statement seems to suggest that the rumors were more a result of external influences rather than any genuine friction between the two women. It looks like this is Heart's way of squashing any talk of a feud, focusing instead on the positive—a sign that there's still mutual respect between the two celebrated figures.

For now, it seems Heart is ready to move past the rumors, leaving the speculation behind. Whether this puts an end to the chatter remains to be seen, but one thing's clear: Heart Evangelista has spoken, and she's all about setting the record straight.
