James Reid is opening up about one of the lowest points of his career and why he believes girlfriend Issa Pressman helped pull him out of it.
Speaking on Gary Valenciano's podcast "Unshaken," the actor-singer revealed that he lost around ₱150 million of his hard-earned money at one point, something which he described as nearly all of his savings.
"That was like the last 10 years of work that I've done, probably more. It was almost all of what I've saved," Reid said.
According to Reid, the financial setback stemmed from issues involving his former business partner at Careless Music, someone he considered both a colleague and a close friend. He admitted that made it difficult to recognize what was happening.
