After more than seven months of absence from the palpable local entertainment scene and social media, San Pablo City actress-beauty queen Azenith Briones has finally showed up albeit only in her Facebook and her friends are happy about it.
The narrative on the "abduction" of Azenith surfaced in social media when a certain netizen Paul Macasiano wrote in his Facebook wall which was copied and pasted by actress Isabel Rivas in her FB that Briones was forcibly taken by three men from her house one evening.
Immediately after the digital post, all digital platforms io Azenith were deactivated. Paul implicated the kids of the beauty queen-actress as the main accomplices of the kidnapping and said they asked their mother about their inheritances from the Briones-Reyes' estates which the actress-beauty queen allegedly denied.
Macasiano added that Zenith was committed to a rehabilitation center by her kids without her consent. To inform the authorities about the incident, Isabel went to the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and defended Azenith about the latter's children's accusations that she was a drug addict and sufferer from mental health.
Meanwhile, one of the closest persons Rivas reportedly consulted on was Senator Lito Lapid. So far, nothing has come out publicly about the NBI and the senator. To get the side of Azenith's children, we asked her son James Briones Reyes what happened to her mom. "My mother is in good hands. Please don't believe stories that are circulating in social media," texted James in his FB Messenger.
Many of Briones' friends were worried about her situation until some of them said she was indeed brought to a facility for treatment. It turned out, according to Willie Chu, one of Azenith's closest retinue, that his friend was in a hospital in Paranaque City. Weeks before Briones surfaced in socmed, Willie informed this columnist that she would soon be out of the hospital.
Until last week when Azenith reactivated her real FB account and posted a photo of her with her family. In the caption, Briones noted that they were together for the birthday of her transgender daughter Preciousa. Welcome back to society's circulation, Zenith.
