In a recent statement, Star Magic addressed a resurfaced interview of actress Kim Chiu that has gained attention amid her ongoing legal battle with her sister, Lakambini "Lakam" Chiu.
Clarification on the Interview's Context
"While the statements made by Kim at the time were true and reflected the circumstances then, they no longer represent the present situation," Star Magic explained.
The interview, recorded in 2023, featured Kim discussing her relationship with her sister before the discovery of financial irregularities that led to a criminal complaint.
- Kim filed a qualified theft complaint against Lakambini Chiu.
- The complaint alleges significant financial discrepancies in their shared business.
According to Star Magic, recent developments in 2025 prompted Kim to pursue legal recourse. The agency emphasized that the actress aims to uncover the truth and seek justice.
The statement also requests respect for Kim's privacy as the case progresses, highlighting the ongoing nature of the legal proceedings.

Fans noted a rift when Kim and Lakambini unfollowed each other on social media prior to the legal action becoming public.
The resurfaced interview is from Kim's appearance on "Come Dine With Me Philippines," where she expressed affection for her sister while welcoming viewers into her home.
