Joey Lawrence’s co-star, Melina Alves, is denying allegations she had an affair with the actor after his wife, Samantha Cope, filed for divorce earlier this month.
„It is with a deep sadness and heavy heart that I must address the recent allegations about the relationship between myself and Joey Lawrence, which have unfortunately become a public matter“, Alves began her post on Instagram.
„As a private person, it is deeply distressing to see such personal and sensitive issues being discussed so openly and inaccurately.
„First and foremost, I want to clarify that there was no sexual relationship between Joey and myself while we were on set filming ‘Socked in for Christmas,’“ she added. Alves wrote, produced and co-starred with Lawrence in the film.
„Our relationship was a meaningful friendship that developed naturally due to the many similarities in our personal situations. When I met Joey, I was immediately struck by his kindness, warmth, and genuine character. We found common ground in our shared experiences, which led to a strong, supportive friendship that has been a source of strength for both of us.“
A representative for Alves confirmed her statement to Fox News Digital. Representatives for Lawrence and Cope did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
