Darryl Yap reacted to this post that Ahron Villena shared
Director Darryl Yap said that he wants to tag director Joel Lamangan to the post that actor Ahron Villena shared.
The post was about the director who spoke about the harassment in showbiz saying that this has been happening for a long time already. Ahron said that it seemed that this director is proud that inappropriate act is happening in the industry.
Then, Ahron shared that he also experienced that he was “exploited” by the said director. The actor said that in a cameo role he did for a project, he needed to put a plaster on his private area and the production team was already helping him with that.
However, this director ordered the production team to take it off because he should be the one who should put the plaster. Ahron Villena said that the director’s hand was intentional touching his private area while putting the plaster.
Ahron did not mention the director’s name in his post but it was connected to the recent statement made by Direk Joel Lamangan. In an interview, the veteran director was asked about his thoughts on the issue of harassment in showbiz as male celebrities Sandro Muhlach and Gerald Santos revealed what they experienced.
Direk Joel said that this kind of harassment has been happening in the industry for a long time and this issue in showbiz is not new anymore. With this, it is inevitable for netizens to connect Ahron’s intriguing post to Direk Joel.
The actor also shared the post on his Facebook page. Direk Darryl Yap shared this post with the caption saying that he was supposed to tag this to Joel Lamangan and the actors who also experienced what Ahron experienced from the veteran director.
However, Direk Darryl said that he could no longer do that because Direk Joel blocked him since 2022. That was the time when the conflict between the two directors happened because of Direk Darryl’s movie Maid in Malacanang which was about the Marcos family whole Direk Joel was a vocal supporter of the other camp.
