PHOTO! Here is an update on that ASAP XV Anne Curtis swimsuit wardrobe malfunction picture. The Anne Curtis pic scandal, a swimsuit malfunction picture taken in Boracay and then posted online, is now prompting outrage.

The picture, which remains online as of 1 pm PST Wednesday appears to have been taken with a cellphone, not as part of the production of the Curtis’ shoot.

Viva Communications says the picture has spread across social networks online, and been reproduced in local tabloids. As covered on Wednesday morning on LALATE, the pic is now spreading across U.S. based websites.

Cecilia Santelices, Viva Communications Inc documentation officer, says the picture is appalling:

“We are appalled by the behavior of some people who have irresponsibly posted over the internet and maliciously published a photo of our artist, Ms. Anne Curtis-Smith, taken during the taping of one of her production numbers for ASAP XV. What happened during the taping was an unfortunate accident. Nothing was done intentionally. Anne was merely doing her best to deliver a solid performance as an artist.”

“It is disheartening to discover though that certain people have taken advantage of the situation, maliciously uploading the photos over the internet and capitalizing on the same for publication. Worse, participating in the proliferation of the same.”

“Obviously, some unscrupulous individuals have capitalized on this misfortune and consequently exploited our artist whose only fault was to do her job well. We appeal to these individuals, please have a little respect and decency to stop posting the photos and distributing the same. Think of your sister, your mother, your wife, or your daughter. . . . . have a heart.”

On Tuesday, Anne Curtis held a press conference about the Boracay Island scandal. The picture featured Curtis during a summer special episode taping of the hit TV musical variety show entitled “ASAP XV.”

Reports claim the video hit youtube, and was then removed, and then the picture spread across Facebook. Boyfriend Sam Milby reportedly comforted her as she began to cry following the malfunction.

Today Curtis sat down with ABS-CBN reporter Gretchen Fulido to discuss the picture now online. Anne says the following:

“I feel really disrespected na parang alam ko naman na hindi talaga maiiwasan… but to upload it or to even spread it, even more that’s what makes me sad. You know, nakaka-dishearten na may mga taong ganoon. I’m not doing anything bad to them, so bakit kailangan nilang gawin sa akin ‘yong ganun?”

She adds “I’d rather not just stay around and cry over spilled milk, about it. Nangyari na. Tapos na, I’m moving on na. So, sana others will do the same.”

She calls the wardrobe malfunction a “na hindi ko naman talaga sinasadyang mangyari. That’s why I really feel upset na it’s coming out.” Se says she feels “na sana” that people who took their photos with a cellphone had no respect to delete it or not share it with others.

Curtis says it happened during a dance number for the song “Babe, I Love you.” She also refutes allegations that it was a publicity stunt. Curtis says it was an accident.
