Rustom Padilla who’s now known as BB Gandanghari responded to Ogie Diaz’s comments about her.
In her Youtube Livestream, Gandanghari called Diaz’s statement as non-sense and advised the talent manager to borrow face to the monkey before appearing on camera.
“You are telling me to the face that it’s been a long time, really? And who are you? Ikaw ba ang nasagasaan, ikaw ba ang nasaktan? Please don’t ever diminish our contents, insecure ka, inggit na inggit ka kasi ngayon,” Gandanghari told Diaz.
Gandanghari claimed that Diaz earned money from destroying reputations of celebrity.
He also revealed that Diaz was the talent manager of Vice Ganda when the comedian questioned the transformation of the former action star.
“Yan ding Ogie Diaz na ‘yan ang manager ni Vice Ganda… Tanda… noong ginawa nila sa akin to,” she said. “Siya ‘yung manager noon, sila ‘yung nagkaisa, alam nila kung ano potential noong BB, kaya ganon ang ginawa nila noon,”
She also called Diaz a lier, telling the talent manager that Vice’s appearance never improved since he started his showbiz career.
Gandanghari then boasted that she’s earning dollars without destroying any reputation.
“Ikaw napakalaking bangaw, hindi ko alam kung sino sa inyo ni Vice Tanda, kung sino ang bangaw at kung sino ang ebs, honestly ‘yung pupu, hindi ko alam kung sino sa inyo ‘yan pero either or, sakay ka ngayon eh, kasi nasa trending,” she said.
“So sino sa atin ang nangagamit? Magpasalamat ka nalang but don’t bash me sa ginagawa mong ganyan, you think I’ll take that with a grain of salt, are you insulting my intellectuality?” she added.
Gandanghari pointed out that Diaz and Vice didn’t criticize her, but her transition from being a man to a transgender person that also being experienced by many people.
“Hindi ako ‘yung tinira niyo noon, ang tinira niyo noon ay ‘yung pinag dadaanan ng isang tao na pinagdadaanan ng napakaraming tao din, pero dahil sa mga katulad niyo, ay nag su-suffer ang mga taong ito, umiiyak ng mag isa, nawawalan ng self-esteem, may mental anguish,” she said.
Ogie Diaz, on a social media post, reacted to Gandanghari’s vlogs, questioning why the latter brought up an issue that it’s already decade old.
“Ang luma na kasi ng issue, sana inano (binalik ni BB), hindi pa nga maganda si Vice Ganda, tapos ibabalik ni BB Gandanghari, sana hindi niya na binalik, ang luma ng issue, nakabaon na nga ‘yun ipapaalala, syempre gumagawa siya ng vlog.. alam na,” Diaz said.
Diaz clarified that he’s not defending Vice on the issue, and only questioning the timing of Gandanghari’s criticisms.
In one of her vlogs, Gandanghari slammed Vice on a statement the latter made in 2009.
“Super love ko si Rustom… ‘yung buhay na Rustom bago pinatay, ang creepy, sino bang pumatay kay Rustom? Hindi siya proud na bading siya, hindi naman niya kini-claim na bading siya,” Ganda said.
“Nag modeling school sa new york yata, bakit mag momodela? Ngayon siya magmo-modeling nasa 40s diba medyo may edad na,” he added.
“Ayaw mong tanggapin ang pagkababae ko, kukuwestyunin mo. Eh, wala ka naman palang sense. Masuwerte ka at sumikat ka, dahil bobita ka, `yun lang ang masasabi ko sa’yo,” Gandanghari said.
