"And that's officially my last post for the year. Socmed break starts now. Detoxing from the digital world. Apps deleted, focus restored. Will be back next year! I love you guys," Denise Julia wrote in an Instagram story shortly after her issue with celebrity photographer BJ Pascual went viral. Netizens were quick to point out this coincidence.

The OPM R&amp;B singer allegedly canceled the photoshoot with Pascual&rsquo;s team on the same day of the shoot itself. &ldquo;It was rude and financially draining,&rdquo; Pascual mentioned in a podcast with TikTok influencer Killa Kushla. They talked about how Denise Julia&rsquo;s manager was the one who requested this shoot to happen in the first place, but things went south from there.

"Ang babayaran na lang nila is manpower and materials. There is no talent fee. This is charity work na," Pascual explained. Although initially, this was the case, he still ended up paying for everything after the singer&rsquo;s last-minute cancelation and using the studio for another artist.
Denise Julia has yet to issue a statement regarding this controversy.
