Model and rugby player Andrew Wolff maintains that he never offended veteran actress Melissa Mendez following the news of the latter's deplaning from their Cebu Pacific flight to Pagadian City.

“I never said or did anything bad towards her. The other passengers and flight attendants can attest to that… meron siyang nasaktang tatlong tao; kami po, wala kaming ginawa sa kanya,” he said in a statement sent to The Buzz.

He even argued that if their camp did something remotely offensive then they would've been deplaned by the pilot as well.

“We were not issued any warnings by Cebu Pacific staff. Unfortunately Ms. Melissa was given three warnings to sit down or otherwise be ejected sa flight. Kung naagrabyado po siya, sana kami din po ang pinababa ng eroplano at sana kinonfront din po kami ng ibang mga pasahero. Kung may makita kang binabastos na babae, ‘di mo ba ipagtatanggol? The fact is hindi po siya binastos or binully,” he explained.

Moreover, Andrew stressed that Melissa's four friends with whom she was to travel with to Pagadian would've confronted them if she was really maligned.

'Hindi po nila kami kinonfront or inaway sa pag-eject ni Ms. Melissa sa buong flight hanggang Pagadian kasi wala pong rason para i-confront kami. Wala kaming kasalanan sa kanya,” he said.

In parting, Andrew said that he and friend Rey Pamaran, whom Melissa slapped, won't be issuing any more statements after today.

“Naniniwala po ako na lalabas din ang buong katotohanan. Ang mga taga Cebu Pacific at mga pasaherong kasabay namin ang makapagpapatunay kung ano po ang nangyari,' he said.

The news broke out last Friday with the actress being accused of being intoxicated and of hurting flight attendants.

Andrew's friend, Rey in a recent interview claimed that he's planning to file charges against Melissa.

The actress for her part apologized for the incident and claimed that she wasn't intoxicated but rather was undergoing a juicing program.
