Francine Prieto is not that visible in the limelight these days. But her name is about to get involved in a huge controversy. That is because her name was dropped by a major daily newspaper for allegedly being arrested along with pimps and prostitutes in a five-star hotel in Manila. The reported raid of suspected prostitutes was published later last week. That time, no name was dropped but some of the authorities already hinted that several celebrities, particularly from show business, were involved. They only described one celebrity as a sexy star who is not too visible these days. Early this week, the local newspaper already revealed the name of the celebrity. And she was no other than Francine. According to reports, the sexy actress was arrested by the police together with some people of shady characters, who are believed to be pimping prostitutes to wealthy businessmen. Five-star hotel The flesh trade is reportedly active in that five-star hotel. The venue serves as an actual marketplace where pimps meet with businessmen to peddle their ‘talents.’ It turns out that the service involves having intimate activities with the businessmen, who are willing to pay huge amounts for sex. The authorities disclosed that they have been receiving reports for such activities allegedly happening in the unnamed hotel. But they took some more time to conduct the raid. Apparently, they nabbed some personalities, including some who are obviously connected to local showbiz. According to reliable sources, Francine was detained for a few hours in a police station. But she allegedly contacted an influential person who later took care of everything. She was released after just a few hours. The influential personality who helped her also reportedly made sure that she would not appear in any record in the police station. Francine’s side The authorities refused to confirm if Francine was actually among those who were detained. But they just hinted that there were actually well-known personalities who were arrested in the raid. For her part, Francine has chosen to remain silent about the issue. She did not confirm or deny allegations that she was involved in that raid. GMA-7 talk show ‘Startalk’ would air its comprehensive investigation about this controversy this coming weekend. Financial stress It is a common knowledge in and around show business that Francine is under pressure especially when it comes to her finances. This is the reason she transferred from GMA-7 to ABS-CBN. She once revealed that GMA-7 was asking her to lose some weight before she would be given assignments. Apparently, she could not wait for that to happen because she had too many bills to pay. She also had a falling out with some of her siblings regarding the proceeds of the sale of her late mother’s property, which she claimed she had helped built. She also once asked fellow celebrities for donations to help her out financially, but as it turned out, those who helped her got disappointed when they learned that she is expecting to have several millions from the pending sale of her mother’s property.
