Entertainment publicist and talent manager Ogie Diaz shared his views once more about the dispute between himself and TV host Willie Revillame, with whom he recently had a disagreement.
Revillame recently accused Diaz of being ungrateful in one of his rants on live television.
On his YouTube vlog, Diaz said Revillame is being surrounded by people who give him terrible advice. The publicist said, “Feeling ko kasi wala nang makausap na matinong tao itong si Willie sa paligid niya. I’m sure naman na may matitino, pero baka lang kasi matigas ang ulo ni Willie kaya ang pinakikinggan niya ay ang sarili niya.”
He feels like Revillame has been one-sided in his recent remarks to people who’ve criticized him amid the failure of his most recent show on AllTV.
Diaz said Revillame is a stubborn individual who rarely listens to others. He added, “Dahil alam mo, maraming kaibigan ‘yang si Willie na kaibigan ko rin na ang laging sinasabi, ‘matigas ang ulo ni Willie.’ Sabi sa akin, ‘ang gusto niya, gusto niya’…kung ito lang ang kaya mong intindihin mula sa opinyon namin, kung ito lang ang kaya mong gawin mula sa opinyon naman edi ‘yan lang ang gawin mo. At the end of the day, si Willie pa rin naman ang nasusunod.”
In addition, Diaz addressed another issue involving the TV host where he showed a supposed “spliced video” of his previous interview with former presidential spokesman Harry Roque discussing the closure of ABS-CBN. Diaz concluded, “Alam ko naman na tumatanaw na utang na loob si Willie Revillame sa ABS-CBN.”
Diaz explained, “Pero ang dinidiskusyon kasi doon ay tumawa siya, natuwa siya doon sa naging komento ni Harry Roque. Kung sinasabi niyang ini-splice ‘yan, tumawa pa rin siya bilang reaksyon doon sa pagsara ng ABS-CBN.” He added, “At noong mga panahon na nangangailangan ng suporta ang ABS-CBN, hindi rin naman masyadong kumibo si Willie for them kasi wala na nga siya doon.”
Diaz reiterated, He then called out the TV host for “gaslighting” people and painting himself as the victim of the issue.
He furthered, “Pangalawa pa, ‘yung sinasabi niyang i-set aside ang politics, hindi mo naman mase-set aside ‘yung politics. May politics at may politics pa rin ‘yan Willie. [Pangatlo], ‘yung sinasabi mo na ‘i-bash niyo ako nang i-bash, inaapi niyo ako,’ hindi ka inaapi, huwag kang mag-gaslight. Walang umaapi sa’yo.”
Diaz advised Revillame to stop acting like a victim because he isn’t. He pointed out, “Sa yaman mong ‘yan, sa sobrang blessed mo na ‘yan, hindi ka inaapi. ‘Wag mong maramdaman ‘yung hindi naman ginagawa sayo…Hindi ka nila inaapi, nagre-react lang sila sa sinasabi mo. Kung inaapi ka, edi dapat nilalait mula ulo hanggang paa ‘yung pagkatao mo. Hindi dapat ibinabalik kung ano ang nakaraan mo.”
