Ivana Alawi was reportedly being removed from the cast of FPJ’s Batang Quiapo due to her ‘diva’ attitude.
During the episode of ‘Marites University,’ they revealed the possible reason why Ivana lost her leading lady role.
“E, mukhang aalisin siya kasi diumano masyado nang nagdidiva-divahan, nag-a-attitude na sabi ng mga Marites do’n sa production (BQ) kaya bago pa nangyari ‘yung paghahanap ng ipapalit sa kanya (may bangko na), nakapag-three months advance ‘yung nai-shoot na nila,” Marites University host Ambet Nabus said.
Another source also revealed more details about Ivana’s alleged attitude during the production of Batang Quiapo.
“Lagi po kasing hindi puwede si Bubbles [Ivana] pag may taping, may lakad tapos pag pinakikiusapan siyang mag extend ng oras, ayaw niya, umaalis na agad saka po hindi masyado nakikipag-usap,” according to the source.
“Si Coco lang naman pinapansin no’n [sa taping]. Ang mahal-mahal ng ngiti,” s/he added.
Meanwhile, Ivana’s camp said that it was untrue that the social media personality was removed from Batang Quiapo because of her unfriendly attitude towards other members of the production.
“It’s true na mawawala na siya sa Batang Quiapo dahil ayaw na! Pagod na! That’s the statement na sinabi sa akin. Ayaw na, pagod na. Pagod na siguro si Ivana,” Ivana’s publicist said.
It can be recalled that talent manager Ogie Diaz also disclosed that Ivana didn’t even greet him during his visit to the Batang Quiapo set.
“Bineso ko eh, dedma… eh nahiya na ko noh, baka naman ano, sobrang lang siyang pinapawisan that time… kaya focus na focus siya ‘dun sa electric fan niya,” said Ogie.
