If you remember, Cassy Legaspi and Darren Espanto sparked controversy last year due to a rumored relationship between the two, which Darren denied. Ki felt hurt because it seemed like the girl had been “friend-zoned” after what happened to Ki. To defend her daughter, Carmina Villarroel spoke up and expressed her thoughts through an Instagram story. Carmina said she didn’t expect to get the same kind of treatment in return. Most people thought her words were fitting.

Meanwhile, many people didn’t know that the girl was going through something. Kapuso artist Cassy Legaspi revealed that she was diagnosed with hypothyroidism at the age of 20. In the latest episode of Kapuso Art Tambayan, aired last Friday, January 1st, Ki shared that she felt like she could do anything. She tried to lose weight. Before, she just couldn’t do it. “I had gained a lot of weight. Then my hair started falling out a lot. It was so weird. I always felt cold, like I had a fever. I always had an explanation, but I was constantly sick. I just couldn’t do it anymore. I would go to the gym, I would work out.”

Talkative Cassy was no longer the same. According to Cassy, although the public didn’t know about her condition, her friends and family noticed how sluggish she felt. Since being advised, she shifted her goal from losing weight to becoming healthier, and she’s been working out. Ki’s mother, Carmina, was very worried about what happened to her daughter. But Carmina reassured her that her daughter would be fine because Ki is very brave.
