Fans of the Anderson - Kim Chiu "love team" were opposed to the on-screen pairing between Geronimo and Anderson, and some openly criticized Geronimo for it.
"Masyado nang maraming nasasabing hindi maganda sa amin. [There are so many bad things said about us (Sarah and Gerald)," Geronimo told the gossip show "The Buzz" on Sunday.
The singer said she understands why fans of Chiu and Anderson are reluctant to break up their favorite "love team", but that she had never forced to pair up with Anderson- both on-screen and off-screen.
"Naiintindihan ko lahat 'yong mga fans ng 'Kimerald' (short for Kim and Gerald), wala sa akin 'yon. Hindi ko po kasi ipinagpipilitan ang sarili ko na makapareha si Gerald. Wala na, tapos na po. Ako na po ang nagsasabi na itigil na po natin [ang issue] kasi hindi maganda ang nagiging resulta," she said.
[I understand all the fans of Kimerald, that's nothing to me. I never forced myself to pair with Gerald. It's done, it's over. I'm asking everyone to stop making an issue out of it, because the results are not good.]
"The Buzz" host Boy Abunda, meanwhile, praised the singer for wanting to "stay out of trouble."
Abunda, who spoke in Geronimo's defense, described her as "shy and quite off-stage" and that Geronimo is a "good girl who always stays close to her family."
Though demure off-stage, Geronimo reportedly transforms into a daring performer onstage.
Her recent concert titled "Record Breaker" and held at the Araneta Center in Cubao on November 7 was attended by thousands of Geronimo's fans and celebrity friends filled up all the 25,000 seats at the stadium.
Present to show their support were Anne Curtis, Rachelle Ann Go, Christian Bautista, Iya Villania, and Regine Velasquez, among others.

Rock Princess Yeng Constantino denies lesbian rumor
Rock Princess Yeng Constantino may not wear high heels and sexy clothes like other girls, but she said this does not mean that she is a lesbian.
Constantino made this clarification amid rumors about her sexual preference. The “Pinoy Dream Academy” season 1 grand winner said the rumors may have stemmed from the fact that she doesn't love to dress up much.
"Pero ang masasabi ko doon ay hindi naman ako 'yong typical o stereotype na babae na kikay o naka-heels or whatever. Pero it doesn't mean na [I'm lesbian]," the singer said.
She added: "Alam ko [may nagdududa]. Hindi ko naman kasi maple-please ang lahat kahit anong gawin ko.”
The 20-year-old singer, who is promoting her third album called “Lapit,” in fact revealed that she has a huge crush on a popular guy musician. She, however, declined to identify him.
Currently, Constantino is busy promoting her latest CD, which is co-produced by former Eraserheads' drummer Raymund Marasigan.
Included tracks in Constantino's album are "Wag Kang Magtanong," "Jeepney," "Love Story," "Pag Ayaw Mo Na," "Siguro," "Takas," "Maghintay," "Wag Na," "Akin Ka Na," "Siguro" and "Lapit" as its carrier single.

Abs Cbn Christmas ID 2009 - Bro ikaw ang star ng pasko
CCM head Robert Labayen wrote a song for the five-minute SID, which reflects the “unsinkable” spirit of the Filipinos. The SID song was performed by more than 300 talents pooled together for the project.
Labayen added that the SID encourages the Filipinos to bounce back after the calamities, and reminds the public that “goodness shines the brightest in the darkest hours.”
“And the message comes from the song. We have the stars singing together with the heroes–workers, soldiers, the medics, volunteers, church--from all sectors of society. They come together to rebuild our lives again,” Labayen said.
The SID concept this year is not only simpler compared to previous years, but more “uplifting.”
“Dati kasi, ang gusto natin masaya lang, masayang pasko. It's about our family. Pero this time, it’s about Filipinos,” said Danie Rose Sedilla-Cruz, CCM’s creative account head.
Sedilla-Cruz said the SID also highlights the fact that Christ is the source of light, but all of us are bearers of it.
She said: “Better to light one little candle than to stumble in the dark. Bawat isa sa atin, pagkatapos noong nangyari, nalaman mo sa sarili mo na meron kang magagawa.”
