A personal assistant to actress Heart Evangelista publicly criticized content creator Mimiyuuuh this week after the vlogger described Anne Curtis as a “clean money girl” in a recent video, comments that many online read as a veiled jab at Evangelista even though her name never came up in the clip.
The remarks originated from a collaboration between Mimiyuuuh and fellow creator Esnyr that runs about 40 minutes and has drawn close to 600,000 views on YouTube. During the exchange, Mimiyuuuh asked Esnyr to name the local celebrity he finds most beautiful. Esnyr cited Anne Curtis and Nadine Lustre, which led Mimiyuuuh to praise Curtis at length.
“Adding to Miss Anne Curtis isa siya sa mga pinakamabait talaga din teh. Ate, parang di mo mafi-feel sa kanya na ‘I can buy you, this bar…’ Hindi siya ganung energy ate,” Mimiyuuuh said in the video. “We love you, Miss Anne. We only love Anne Curtis in this household. Kasi siya talaga ang clean money girl.” Esnyr followed with a short reply: “Kumbaga… from hard work.”
Neither creator referenced Evangelista at any point in the vlog. Despite that, an Instagram user identified as resztyrose — reported to be close to Evangelista — left remarks on Mimiyuuuh’s Instagram account after the video went live. According to entertainment outlet PhilNews, the same individual, whom it named as Resty Rosell and described as Evangelista’s personal assistant, had recently defended the actress against critics questioning the source of her wealth, and even said their side was prepared to present financial statements. Those Instagram comments have since been deleted.
The friction plays out against a backdrop of legal trouble for Evangelista’s husband, Senator Francis “Chiz” Escudero, whom she married in 2015. Escudero is the subject of a plunder complaint before the Office of the Ombudsman tied to the country’s flood control scandal. GMA News, citing the senator’s own counter-affidavit, reported that the Ombudsman’s Field Investigation Office recommended in April charges of plunder, graft, and indirect bribery, alleging he indirectly took kickbacks totaling P586 million — broken down as P306 million and P280 million — from flood control projects. The figures rest largely on statements from former Public Works undersecretary Roberto Bernardo.
Escudero has rejected the accusations. In his filing, he argued that Bernardo’s account shifted over time and that the P306-million figure surfaced only in a March 2026 affidavit, after the Ombudsman had already begun its own investigation. He also challenged the logic of the case against him, questioning why he would be cast as the principal offender while Bernardo, by his own admission, allegedly received a far larger sum.
Assistant Ombudsman Mico Clavano confirmed in May that the matter had entered the preliminary investigation stage, with the anti-graft body awaiting Escudero’s counter-affidavit before proceeding. No charges have been formally filed in court, and the senator has repeatedly denied any role in the flood control anomalies.
