After Star Magic conducted drug tests on 40 of its talents, Solenn Heussaff is the next celebrity to publicly announce that she got a negative result.
According to her, she took one after a series of articles were written about her. She said, “There’s a lot of things happening, and you never know what’s going to come out. There were two or three articles about me already. So sabi ko [I said], I’ll do it on my own para [so] people would know. When you’re accused of anything that you know you didn’t do, kahit small issue lang [even if it’s just a small issue], it’s not a nice feeling.”
However, Heussaff clarified that she is not affected by the issue. She said that she took the drug test so the people “would know.” She added that she’s willing to undergo one anytime, saying, “I’m game any day. Just come and knock at my door.”
This statement echoes the previous statement of her manager, Leo Dominguez.
“This is to inform the public of Solenn’s beliefs to clean and healthy living. Solenn practices in what she believes in, which is to live a healthy and productive lifestyle, this includes her position against the use of prohibited and illegal drugs,” he said.
This news follows reports that the Philippine National Police (PNP) will not give special treatment to celebrities in Operation Tokhang, a government initiative where police officers will visit the homes of suspected drug users to encourage them to change their ways. Tokhang is a combination of the Visayan words toktok (knock) and hangyo (request).
