Nothing really happened in the way the urban legend or the myth dictates,&quot; Dixson said in a vlog entry uploaded on Saturday.&quot;Kunwari, hindi naman ako nahulog sa trap door. Hindi naman ako tumakbo sa corridor palabas papunta sa hotel.&quot;Hindi din naman ako nabayaran ng 850 million, at hindi rin nangyari iyong na-cut iyong pagsasalita ko sa isang TV show when I was trying to explain myself.&quot;Those things are all not true.&quot;<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/multimedia/video/10/31/18/si-alice-dixson-at-ang-ahas-sa-mall">Si Alice Dixson at ang &quot;ahas&quot; sa mall</a></li></ul>The incident that apparently got Dixson first entangled with the slithering story happened in the 1980s during a movie shoot, a memory Dixson said was reminded to her by fans.&quot;(Production) directed me to the bathroom sa labas ng department store on the fourth floor para magpalit ng damit,&quot; she recalled.&quot;Natatandaan ko nga may nag-uusyoso sa labas, and for some reason while I was inside the bathroom, I said, &#x27;tuklaw, tuklaw&#x27;.&quot;Now, I don&#x27;t really know kung bakit ko iyon ginawa. Siguro kasi, I was just being funny? I was trying to get a laugh sa mga kasamahan ko? I was being young and silly.&quot;Whether it was linked to that innocuous incident at Robinsons Galleria or not, Dixson became tabloid fodder days later, the rumor being she was attacked by a snake.A popular narrative says the mutant reptile is the twin brother of Robina Gokongwei, daughter of mall owner John Gokongwei.&quot;Lumabas pa ito na headline ng tabloid and news,&quot; Dixson said.&quot;One day, or one morning my secretary told me na tumawag ang isang Robinsons representative. Gusto akong kausapin. Siguro they wanted to ask me if I made these comments and accusations. But I dismissed it and went on with my business.&quot;<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/11/05/19/alice-dixson-because-of-my-unprofessionalism-i-lost-a-lot-of-work">Alice Dixson: ‘Because of my unprofessionalism, I lost a lot of work’</a></li></ul>Dixson said she kept quiet about the story all these years, because she believed there was really nothing to talk about.&quot;In my defense, even before kahit ngayon &#x27;pag mayroon hindi totoong rumor, naniniwala akong hindi ko kailangang patulan. That&#x27;s one of my reasons why hindi ako nagkomento roon . . . In fact nakalimutan ko all about it until recently,&quot; she said.&quot;One of my close family friends, mayroon kaming usapan that after a certain point that I will reveal my story. So this is the time I want to set things straight.&quot;<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/10/03/19/hiatus-over-alice-dixson-50-ready-for-showbiz-again-starting-with-nuuk">Hiatus over, Alice Dixson, 50, ready for showbiz again, starting with &#x27;Nuuk&#x27;</a></li></ul>
