Mexico City, Mexico (The Adobo Chronicles) – Philippine presidential sister and TV host Kris Aquino thought she had an exclusive scoop when she announced on her show that Mexican singer Thalia had parts of her ribs removed in order to look thinner.

Well, to Aquino’s disappointment, it wasn’t a real scoop.

Thalia posted a photograph on her Instagram account showing the alleged rib parts in a jar filled with a preservative liquid. Pickled ribs, in a sense.

With the Instagram post, Thalia said: “To all my loving Filipino fans, here’s the proof. The chismis (gossip) being spread by Aquino is true.”

In an interview with The Adobo Chronicles, Thalia said, “Okay, now that I’ve come clean, it’s time for Kris Aquino to post photos of her STD.” Aquino had previously gone public about her relationship with former basketball player, actor and politician Joey Marquez, saying she had contracted a sexually transmitted disease when she was with Marquez. It earned her the title of STD Queen.

Meanwhile, the famous singer remained gracious in a follow up post on her Instagram account, offering Aquino and co-host Boy Abunda to try some of her pickled ribs. “It’s good for bulalo soup,” Thalia said, referring to a popular Filipino dish – soup boiled with beef bone marrow.
