Veteran actress Dina Bonnevie finally admitted on January 31 that the actress she was referring to in her past interviews was Alex Gonzaga.
It can be recalled that Dina talked about her confrontation with Alex during a taping for a soap ‘P. S. I Love You’ in 2011.
“Hindi ko kayang mag-plastic. In the beginning pakikisamahan ko. But when I can’t take anymore, I have to tell the person ‘if you want to last in the industry, you have to be professional.’ Be mindful of your co-workers kasi hindi lang naman ikaw ang nagtatrabaho dito,” Dina said.
She also talked about the said actress that turned out to be Alex in 2018.
“Talagang sinabihan ko siya: ‘Who do you think you are? Are you famous? Who are you? What name you made? Have you carved your name in stone in showbiz?” said stated.
“Your call [time] is at 9 o’clock and you come down from your van at 12 o’clock na naka-pajama? Really? If you want to continue taping this soap like this, do it yourself.’… Lahat kami kasi — mga senior stars kami noon, talagang pinaghihintay niya kami lagi,” she added.
The issue between Dina and Alex resurfaced after the latter took a swipe against the veteran actress in her podcast, calling the former ‘Artistang Matanda’.
Dina admitted that she was referring to Alex during an interview with Boy Abunda.
“Yes, It was Alex Gonzaga,” Dina admitted.
“We were doing a teleserye then, and it didn’t come naman without reason. Kaya lang kasi, it didn’t only happen once. It happened once, twice, thrice, so hindi lang naman ako,” she said.
Dina even claimed that even the other colleagues of Alex noticed the attitude of the latter.
“Hindi lang naman ako. There were other co-workers who were also getting erch about ‘yung working habit niya or you know, the way she was working with us,” she also said.
“So, napag-usapan na ako ang spokesperson… Gabby, Cheska, Iñigo, si Nadine Lustre we were altogether and nobody had the strength or the audacity to come up to her and to talk to her,” she added.
Alex has yet to give a response to Dina’s revelation.
