On an Instagram post on Mon, Jul 4, Angelina asked for some privacy for herself and her family “till everything sinks in.”
“For the press people asking for an interview I would like to request to please hold off as I am scared of the pressure that comes along with TV Media,” she wrote.
Angelina noted, however, that she has granted her friend Tim Yap (The Philippine Star) an interview.
“I am feeling pressured since so much people are now watching me and my family so I hope we can get some privacy till everything sinks in! Thank you so much!” she added.
Tim posted a sneak peek of his interview with Angelina on his Instagram account on this morning. Angelina can seen describing how she came out as a transwoman to her family.
Angelina, born the son of Victoria Court heir Archimedes King who died in a plane crash last year, is the spouse of model Joey Mead.
“I gave up male underwear maybe two years after dating Jo (Joey Mead),” Angelina said.
“My dad had a hard time, definitely. My stepmom is a supporter. My real mom (Marvy del Rosario Schuman) is a supporter, too. My brother (Atticus King) was little weirded out with it, but came on board,” she said.
Angelina added: “But now, there’s no need to tell anyone, I don’t need to explain myself.”
Tim’s interview will come out on Philippine Star this weekend.
