Matt Evans’ camp denied that the actor physically hurt his live-in partner Johnelline Hickins and her brother Juan Alberto Carlotta that resulted into his arrest by the Pasig City Police.
Gerly Rico, Matt’s legal counsel, said that the allegations against the Star Magic actor were “nothing but lies.”

“Matt denies having inflicted any injury against his girlfriend or her brother. In fact, it was Matt who was hit on the leg and who was threatened with a knife,” Rico said.
Rico further said that there was indeed a heated argument between Matt and Johnelline but the actor didn’t hurt her. Johnelline allegedly fell off the stairs during the argument and that’s why her brother intervened.
The argument allegedly took place while Johnelline and Juan Alberto were preparing a surprise birthday party for Matt.
Matt was arrested after Johnelline filed a complaint against him for physical assault on Saturday. She also said that Matt kicked her brother in the face when the latter tried to intervene.
The actor’s camp is now awaiting the start of the legal processes so that Matt could clear his name. He is facing charges of violence against women and physical injuries.
Meanwhile, Matt will soon be seen in the upcoming afternoon drama, Precious Hearts Romances Presents: Paraiso, set to premiere on November 12.
