Exclusive - Is Money to Blame? Vanessa Matsunaga confronts Erich Gonzales: 'Please Address the Money Issue! My Mom Doesn't Deserve This!'

Everyone was absolutely stunned when actress Erich Gonzales and model Daniel Matsunaga called it quits after being a couple for two years.

It began when Erich deleted all traces of Daniel in her Instagram account. Daniel for his part posted this comment: "Guys I would like to ask favor pls... we are talking and going through some personal things... all we need is your support and love."

On February 8, Erich confirmed the breakup and said that they aren't on speaking terms. She states that a third party wasn’t the reason for their split.

“It’s not true that we are talking. Hindi po kami magkaibigan,” she said.

Although many netizens specululated that money was the reason why they broke up. She had nothing to comment on this.

The controversy doesn’t end however as Vanessa Matsunaga, Daniel's older sister, decided to address Erich with a comment on Erich's Instagram account.

The following is the comment Vanessa wrote:

"Hi Erika, how are you? I'm really sorry to send you this message. Daniel asked our family, friends, and fans to keep quiet and not fight back or even reply to any comments, but the truth is I can't keep quiet when people are invading my privacy, asking us if we owe you money and saying that you are spending on us! I can't believe this is even happening. How can people even speculate about this, right? I know you answered the interview [to] the best of your ability, I understand it's hard to answer too many questions, but I honestly wish you had addressed the money issue. You guys don't owe an explanation to anyone and I know both of you are hurting and want privacy right now. Please look back at the good times. Remember, you were with us for two years, you were included in every family plan, trips, weddings. [We] took care of you and your family and took in consideration your preferences and watched over you. I'm not here to measure what we did for each other because this is love, and it comes with it naturally. All I'm saying is [that] I'm very sad to see people defaming not only you and my brother, but also my mom and family. You know my mom, and she definitely doesn't deserve this. As a matter of fact, we are still defending you from all the hate as much as we can. We all love you to the best of our abilities and with all our hearts. It's your choice to unfollow us, delete your photos—some people move on that way. 'Out of sight out of mind.' Others would like to treasure the memories, whatever works best, right? Whatever it is we respect that and chose to give you your privacy. [So] please forgive me if you are receiving this message here, I would've sent this to your inbox but now my messages get to you as a spam...anyways, I'm asking you to please address this issue, people are calling us users, but you know best, and you know the truth. I'm counting on your integrity, dignity, and your love for our Lord Jesus. Love you! Isabella misses you! We will always be here for you."

After the comment was posted, Erich has since deactivated her comments section.
