Veteran showbiz columnist and talent manager Lolit Solis apologized over claim that Alex Gonzaga had suffered a miscarriage.
Lolit, on Saturday, October 9 penned a column about Alex’s alleged pregnancy loss and that her family kept it a secret for it to be exclusively released in a YouTube vlog.
“Naawa naman ako sa balita na nakunan daw si Alex Gonzaga. Kasi nga worried na worried ang mga followers niya at gusto malaman ang tutoong nangyari pero may nagsabi na sa vlog na lang daw ni Alex o Toni Gonzaga hintayin,” said Lolit in an Instagram post.
She added, “Very petty ‘di ba? Dahil lang sa vlog pati ganitong balita itatago? Eh married naman si Alex, at paano itatago iyon medical record? Basta for us, get well soon Alex, at be strong”.
Lolit’s column drew flak from Alex’s fans who said that it was not her story to tell.
The actress-vlogger’s husband Mikee Morada, on the other hand, called out Lolit’s “hurtful” post.
“Mam masakit at nakakadismaya naman. Hindi lang patungkol kay Alex ang inyong sinulat, tungkol ito sa amin mag-asawa. Kaya hinihingi ko ang inyong pag-respeto,” wrote Mikee on Lolit’s Instagram post.
“Huwag po kayong gumawa ng kwento sa ganitong klaseng sitwasyon lalo’t hindi niyo naman alam ang totoong pangyayari. Salamat,” he added.
In a lengthy Instagram post on Tuesday, Lolit issued an apology, saying that it was never her intention to hurt or offend anyone with her column.
“If I have offended, o may nasaktan dahil dito, I am very sorry. Hindi iyon at never iyon ang naging intention ko nang isulat at i-post ko iyon.”
She continued, “Wala akong intention to hurt or cause pain. So sorry if ito ang naging dating kay Alex Gonzaga at sa kanyang asawa. I will honestly say na I appreciate the very respectful comment of Alex Gonzaga’s husband. Hindi iyon ang motibo ko, hindi iyon ang gusto ko. If I have offended and hurt you, I deeply apologize.”
Lolit, 74, meanwhile, also addressed the criticisms she faced with her column.
“Sana, bashers can use more respectable words, puwede namang magalit nang sosyal pa rin ang dating, mukhang edukado pa rin. Or baka naman dahil nga tsismosa ako, mukhang pera at bobo, kaya ang bashers ko ganun din ‘di ba?”
