James Reid gives update on Careless' legal battles

Josh Mercado

<p>Last September, actor James Reid confirmed that Liza Soberano had left Careless. Soberano was able to act in the Hollywood film &quot;Lisa Frankenstein&quot; through the firm Reid created, and she also received endorsement deals.</p><p>In an interview, Reid said he and Soberano are okay, despite her departure from Reid&#x27;s talent management firm.</p><p>“There’s no bad blood. It’s amazing what she&#x27;s doing, you know, maybe, you know, pushing for her dreams in Hollywood,” he told select entertainment press during his “just got home” press tour.</p><p>When asked for an update on his company&#x27;s legal battle, Reid revealed, “I believe it&#x27;s still being resolved every day. It’s still getting untangled and resolved every day together with my legal team. That’s all I have to say.”</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1733714379827image1 (1).jpeg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">Actor James Reid. <em>Photo by Josh Mercado.</em></span></span></span></div><p>He went on to remark that he&#x27;s glad his former business partner has departed Careless.</p><p>“The team is still trying to reach out and resolve the issues, but honestly, I don&#x27;t even care. I&#x27;m just happy he&#x27;s gone. I wouldn&#x27;t say [he’s] exactly a scam. It’s more complicated than that,” Reid confessed.</p><p>According to the singer-actor, Careless is doing well right now, and they are still discovering new talents and producing projects.</p><p>“Careless is really back on track and it&#x27;s been quite a journey as well for us. Everyone I work with, they&#x27;re like family to me. Everyone’s in a really good place right now. I’m very happy,” he said.</p><p>This year, Joshua Garcia reunited with Julia Barretto, his ex-girlfriend and onscreen partner. Alden Richards also starred in a reunion film with Kathryn Bernardo. Is Reid interested in undertaking a reunion project with ex-girlfriend Nadine Lustre?</p><p>“I don&#x27;t see that in the cards for now. When it comes to the acting, I really wanted to, you know, start fresh and try different roles and everything, but that hasn&#x27;t been talked about yet, so you know, we&#x27;ll see, but for now, you know, I really want to explore different roles when it comes to my acting and working with a lot of different people,” he shared. </p><p>“Maybe when the times or the time is right, when the times have changed,” he added.</p><p>Reid highlighted that for his acting comeback on ABS-CBN&#x27;s Dreamscape, he wants to work with people with whom he has not before worked. He also announced that three leading ladies will participate in a look test for his series.</p><p>“I didn’t get to work with many people last time, so this one I&#x27;m excited to work with as many people as well,” he said. </p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/2024/9/14/liza-soberano-no-longer-part-of-james-reid-management-team-careless-1348" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Liza Soberano no longer part of James Reid&#x27;s management team Careless</a></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/02/28/23/james-reid-proud-of-liza-soberano-for-going-against-the-grain" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">James Reid proud of Liza Soberano &#x27;for going against the grain&#x27;</a></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>RELATED VIDEOS:</strong></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/o3d51XB0oys?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vUX9tx-ZTHQ?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bDsCSDkHfxk?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/btZymc2EPYo?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div>
