A “source” had this claim about Kim Chiu and Vice Ganda
Is it true that there is “animosity” between Kapamilya actress-host Kim Chiu and Unkabogable Star Vice Ganda behind the camera?
Kim has been part of the Kapamilya noontime show It’s Showtime for several years already, in which Vice has become the main host from being the “unevictable hurado.”
Last month an issue occurred between them. It was because Vice did not mention Kim in his acceptance speech when he received his award and the show’s awards at the FAMAS Awards night. This did not sit well with Kim’s fans. They criticized Vice and expressed negative reactions to him.
Vice retaliated to the toxicity and even mentioned Kim. Then, Kim’s X (formerly Twitter) account defended her supporters. Several controversial tweets came after that. However, it was previously stressed that there is no conflict between them.
Just recently, based on the article by Pilipino Star Ngayon entertainment columnist Salve Asis, Vice Ganda has a promised in a post following the signing of a new contract with ABS-CBN last Friday, so expect her to remain a Kapamilya. “Habangbuhay,” he said.
They did not make a big spectacle of the event, unlike others who have renewed their contracts. ABS-CBN Chairman Mark Lopez, President and CEO Carlo Katigbak, Chief Operating Officer Cory Vidanes, and Chief Financial Officer Ricardo B. Tan Jr. were in attendance.
The event was also graced by ABS-CBN Foundation Chair Eugenio Lopez III who dropped by to greet Vice and show his support for the Kapamilya artist.
Vice has returned to It’s Showtime after taking a break of less than a week following the controversy that arose and the program being summoned by the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB).
He clarified that her trip to Vietnam was a vacation, not a suspension as rumored in circulating reports.
Anne Curtis even accidentally mentioned ASAP, the rival program to GMA’s Sunday noontime show, All-Out Sundays. Anne was indeed present last Saturday, but Kim Chiu’s absence was noticed, which, according to Asis, a fact that some fans are turning into an issue.
Asis also shared that based on a source’s claim, there has been “animosity” between Vice and Kim for quite some time.
According to a source, Vice Ganda and Kim Chiu never really became close, despite having worked together on It’s Showtime for a long time. There are more details to this story, including some rather shocking revelations about their lack of closeness.
The entertainment writer, on the other hand, said that they will dig into those another time.
