Ruffa says TV5 talk show disrespected her
(UPDATE) Ruffa Gutierrez took to Twitter to say that her TV5 showbiz talk show “Paparazzi: Showbiz Exposed” disrespected her during its birthday presentation for her.
“Hindi ako natutuwa sa birthday presentation ng Paparazzi para sa akin. Wala kayong kwenta at wala kayong respeto,” Ruffa posted on her Twitter account Saturday, June 23.
She continued: “The msg from Habitat For Humanity & Ms. Faith of Avon Philippines was heartwarming but what happened after that was a disgrace! #Paparazzi”
“Hindi nyo man lang naisip na nanonood ang mga anak ko! Yung head ng PROGRESS Gold Milk of Wyeth was at the studio, my friends were watching.”
“Binastos ako ng #Paparazzi on my birthday. I'm so sorry but THE BUZZ would never do this to me. EVER!”
Quitting ‘Paparazzi’
The Kapatid star added that “from this day on, I will no longer be part of Paparazzi.” “I will never tolerate DISRESPECT in any form done to me, to my children or to my beloved viewers.”
She also explained her daughters Lorin and Venice were watching “Paparazzi” because “they were excited to see my reaction on the handmade card/note they made for me.”
Ruffa co-hosts “Paparazzi: Showbiz Exposed” with Cristy Fermin, Zoren Legazpi, Dolly Anne Carvajal, and Mr. Fu. She will celebrate her birthday on June 24, Sunday.
What transpired
Ruffa was dismayed by the sensitive questions whispered to her by her co-hosts during the show’s “Bulong ng Palad” segment.
In the segment, the show’s hosts whisper naughty questions to guests. Because the episode served as the show’s birthday treat for the Kapatid star, she was placed on the hot seat.
She was expected to answer the questions from a common set of choices—Aga Muhlach, Zoren Legaspi and Robin Padilla, who were romantically linked to her.
TV5's statement
Ruffa’s mother Annabelle Rama also expressed her displeasure regarding the said segment. Like Ruffa, Annabelle stressed that her grandchildren are watching the show.
“May mga batang nanunood sa inyo, katulad ng mga apo ko! Inaabangan nila ang bday celebration ng mommy nila!”
The Kapatid network said it is looking into the incident and will take appropriate action.
"TV5 management is seriously concerned about the turn of events today at "Paparazzi" and is now looking into the incident. We promise everyone that we shall take appropriate action," the network's statement said.
