GMA Network was facing another controversy again after a blind item about an actor allegedly being touched inappropriately by two company executives was published on the internet.
Several newspapers published the item about the actor after the GMA Gala 2024.
According to the report, the newbie actor was reportedly “forced” by the said gay executives in one of the rooms of the hotel where the gala happened.
The executives also allegedly tricked the actor into drinking a sleeping pill-laced drink.
Some reports also indicated that the actor suffered from mental health problems after the incident.
Talent manager and showbiz reporter Ogie Diaz, who is known for his accurate reports, also confirmed the incident.
Meanwhile, GMA Network released a statement saying they’re taking the information seriously.
“Online articles and posts have recently circulated regarding an alleged incident involving an artist and independent contractors of GMA Network,” the statement read.
“We have yet to receive a formal complaint from those allegedly involved in the issue. Should one be filed, the Network is committed to conducting a thorough and impartial investigation. We assure the public that GMA Network takes such matters with utmost seriousness,” they added.
As of this writing, the actor’s camp and the accused executives have yet to give their statement on the issue.
