Alex Gonzaga draws flak after smearing cake icing on server’s face

Alex Gonzaga is currently in hot water after a clip of her smearing cake icing on the face of a waiter during her 35th birthday celebration started making rounds online.



Dani Barretto, who took the video, posted the controversial clip on her Instagram stories but eventually deleted it as soon as netizens started sharing it on social media.

Among those who called out Alex were influencers and social media personalities Janina Vela and Arshie Larga, among others.

Janina, for one, said it became impossible for the waiter to resist or react the way he wanted to since there were “power dynamics” involved.

“Siguro mas-acceptable ito kung ka-close mo yung tao, pero dahil sa ‘power dynamics’ dito —Kuya as the server and Ms. Alex as the served— hindi niya magagawa ‘yun,” Janina said.

Janina went on to point out why service workers shouldn’t be treated that way, saying they deserve to be respected just like regular people.

“Service workers are our equals. It’s their job to serve, but it’s our job to give them the respect they deserve,” she remarked



Arshie, on the other hand, said Alex might have acted differently if it was the waiter who did it to her, but said that it would be next to impossible since the latter has more manners than her.

“What if yung server ang gumawa sa kanya nun. Ano kaya ang mararamdaman nya? Oh wait, hindi pala gagawin ng server yun since may manners siya,” Arshie said.

Arshie went on to say that while some people smear cake icing on others on some occasions, they do it only to their friends or people close to them.



“Ginagawa rin naman natin yan PERO sa mga taong ka-close lang natin. Hindi sa taong gusto lang naman magtrabaho ng maayos,” he remarked.

Meanwhile, Alex has yet to address the issue.
