Carmina denies walkout issue with Claudine

Thursday, February 2, 2012

KAPAMILYA television host Carmina Villarroel dismissed reports that she walked out of Claudine Barretto during a photo shoot after the alleged “diva” attitude of the latter.

After the press conference of her newest weekend talk show "Showbiz Inside Report," Carmina said: "May katotohanan na magkasama kami dati sa commercial pero walang katotohanan na nag walkout ako."

She said she heard the story earlier this week but tried to ignore it.

However, she said it's time for her to set the record straight when a lot of people started to text her and when she received hate messages on Twitter.

"I just really need to speak up, because normally I would keep quite. Pero since dalawa kaming concern dito and wala pa siya, kailangan ko na magsalita kasi hindi naman talaga totoo."

"Napaka-understanding ko sa mga bagay na ganyan. Sinasabihan na ako na mag-walk out ka, eh ako hindi talaga. Ako yung klase ng tao na madaling katrabaho. Kaya kung medyo diva ka or difficult person ka, deadmahin kita... sasakyan kita."

Carmina added that all is well between her and Claudine, and even with actress Jodi Sta. Maria who is also part of the shoot.

The television host does not see any need for her to contact Claudine, who is currently in Europe now with husband Raymart Santiago.

"Wala kaming contact ni Claudine. Hindi na kailangan because wala talagang katotohanan eh. Nandoon ako para magtrabaho at hindi magdiva-divahan sa aking mga co-actors. Okay kami, kami nila Jodi (Sta. Maria)."

Carmina, who is coming back to ABS-CBN after 10 years of working to its rival network, said she expects this kind of intrigues especially now that her name is a hot item in showbizness.

"Kasama na talaga sa pagiging artista eh nakakabit na talaga sa amin yung mga intriga. I can't please everybody. Hahanapan at hahanapan ka talaga ng butas. I just have to defend myself and also Claudine."
