Sheena Palad may face the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) to explain why she pulled the hair of a “Beat My Birit” contestant.
On June 19, 2024, Sheena joined the singing competition together with Rica Maer.
However, during the performance, Sheena suddenly pulled Rica’s hair and tried to chase the contestant even though the latter was visibly trying to stay away from the aspiring singer.
Even Pokwang’s reaction during the incident was captured on camera.
Pokwang confirmed to Ogie that they were surprised when Sheena became too physical with Rica.
The comedian explained that the initial plan for Sheena and Rica was just to tease each other.
“Tinatawagan ang pansin ng MTRCB, kung ano raw ang magiging aksyon ng MTRCB sa ginawang ito ni Sheena Palad,” said Ogie.
Meanwhile, Rica’s boyfriend, Johann Enriquez, urged Rica to announce that the incident was only scripted.
However, Rica refused to speak on the issue.
Rica also released an apology to minimize the criticism she was receiving.
“Maayos po kami ni Rica ngayon at napatawad nya na po ako sa mga pangyayari. Naguusap din po kami and she is assuring me that she is okay,” said Sheena. “Gusto ko din magapologize sa mga netizens natin na nag call-out po sa akin,”
MTRCB has yet to give their opinion on the issue.
