Willie Revillame refuted a claim made by a supposed former production intern that staff were “forbidden from looking at, approaching, or speaking to him.”During a live episode of his show on Tuesday, Revillame broke his silence on the social media controversy.“Marami nang lumalabas sa social media na paninira. Huwag po kayong maniniwala riyan na bawal daw akong tingnan. Una, hindi ko po alam na OJT o mayroong naka-intern diyan na mga estudyante. Hindi ko po alam ‘yan,” he said.Revillame then mentioned that his dressing room at a TV network was located backstage, so he rarely saw anyone when he passed through the area.“Kaya huwag po kayong maniniwala na bawal akong tingnan o ano. Siraulo ‘tong batang ‘to. Gustong sumikat. Pati ako gagamitin n’yo? Paanong bawal akong tingnan? Lahat nga ng makikita ko [ay] niloloko ko, binibiro ko,” he underscored.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1778218271697Willie.JPG" style="width:655px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-dragging" width="655" alt="Screen grab: Facebook/Wilyonaryo"/>Screen grab: Facebook/Wilyonaryo</div>The TV host also stated that he does not know the intern personally and had not seen him throughout his time at the network.“Alam mo, ikaw, bata ka pa, siraulo ka na. Minsan mabubuwisit ka na lang sa mga fake news na ito. Hindi nga namin kilala ‘to. Never ho naming nakita ‘yan sa GMA,” he said.Saying that the allegation came at the same time that he announced the return of his show, he continued, “Babalik lang ang [show], sisiraan n’yo pa ako.“He also challenged the former intern to face him directly so that they could discuss the allegation.“Pumunta ka rito. Magpakilala ka sa akin at mag-one-on-one tayo. Sabihin mo sa akin kung kailan kita nakita. Gagawa ka ng isang istorya para sumikat ka? Gagawa ka ng istorya para makilala ka? Paglalaruan n’yo ‘yung tao?” said the TV host.The singer-host also asked social media users to use online platforms properly and refrain from sharing incorrect information.“Diyos ko po. Matakot ka sa Diyos. Nagsasalita ka nang hindi totoo. Sayang. Bata ka pa lang, nagsisinungaling ka na. Kung ikaw ay estudyante noon, sana naka-graduate ka. Sana maging maayos ang buhay mo,” he ended.
