In the latest episode of “Ogie Diaz Showbiz Update,” showbiz columnist and talent manager Ogie Diaz seems to have a response to the heated reactions of KathNiel fans (Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo) and Andrea Brillantes regarding his disclosed information. According to his source, there is supposedly a secret meeting between Daniel Padilla and Andrea, which could be a reason for Kathryn Bernardo’s jealousy.
In the said vlog, together with Mama Loi and Tita Jegs, Ogie explained his side and encouraged netizens to listen to the whole story before giving criticism. Additionally, Ogie expressed his wish to hear the perspectives of those involved.
However, a trending hashtag caught attention on social media, “#OGIEDIAZFAKENEWSPEDDLER,” where Ogie received criticism from netizens. Some accused him of reporting unconfirmed news, causing anxiety and concern for the personalities involved.
In a post on his social media account, Ogie responded to those accusing him, stating, “We just reported what we said was not yet confirmed and hopefully not true; now they call us fake news peddlers. So if we’re right, will you give us a medal?”
In his statement, Ogie emphasized that it was not his intention to spread fake news. He defended his profession, believing that it allows him to provide information that may be true but not yet confirmed.
Ogie also highlighted the importance of hearing the sides of those involved in an issue and advised against immediately believing in gossip. In this way, the level of conversation can be elevated, and the rapid spread of fake news can be avoided.
Despite the criticisms, Ogie Diaz seems unaffected and continues to deliver showbiz updates. In conclusion, his message serves as a reminder for everyone to be discerning and responsible when sharing information.
May naibalita lang kami na sinabi naman namin na di pa confirmed at sana di totoo, fake news peddler na raw kami. So pag tama ba kami, sasabitan nyo kami ng medalya?
