Jessy Mendiola admits thoughts about quitting showbiz

The actress would have quit if not for the encouragement from director Johnny Manahan and Luis Manzano

25 May - Actress Jessy Mendiola admitted that she had thought about quitting showbiz a couple of times after continuously being negatively portrayed by Netizens, as reported on Chism.

The actress has experienced a lot in the past couple of years; from making headlines for being harassed by Enrique Gil, being cyberbullied for her physique, and slammed by Netizens for supposedly being the third party in her boyfriend Luis Manzano's previous relationship with Angel Locsin.

With so many negative stories being woven about her, it is no surprise that Mendiola had thoughts about quitting showbiz altogether.

However, according to the actress, the encouragement she received from both Manzano and director Johnny Manahan gave her the strength to continue.

"He told me not to give up. [He said that] "You are young and you have so much to do". Luis told me I shouldn't give up," she said.

Mendiola said that while sometimes she feels beaten up and just wants to get away from everything, she now learns to rest rather than quit.
