JM Ibarra and Fyang Smith’s “Gandang Gabi Vice” guesting gave fans a sweet little glimpse of just how much their ‘feelings’ have grown since “PBB Gen 11.”
If their earlier questions brought the kilig, the “Deep Truth” segmentbrought the tea. The pair read statements that Vice Ganda and the Geng Gang would confirm as either “trot” or “charot."
First up, JM's statement, "May sinugod akong direktor dahil binastos si Fyang." The verdict? Truth.
According to Fyang, the incident happened recently during a content shoot, where the director allegedly made a lewd comment about her. “Parang umabot sa point na, syempre, ang ikli ng suot, naka-tube lang ako. Tapos una pa lang naiilang na ako kasi ang dami niyang sinasabi. Pero, ako, syempre dahil direktor siya, respectful ako,” she disclosed.
The situation escalated when the assistant makeup artist told Fyang that she had heard the director make the remark, “Ang sarap mo,” referring to Fyang.
"Sobrang nabastusan ako kasi nagsumbong sa akin ’yung assistant ng makeup artist ko. Sabi niya, ‘Sabi nu’ng direktor mo, ang sarap mo daw.’ Tapos nag-chat na ako [kay JM].” Fyang messaged JM because she felt she couldn’t handle defending herself at that moment.
At that point in the episode, Fyang reenacted how JM confronted the director. According to her, JM first went to her dressing room to ask what happened and who the director was. And then JM called the director over, asking, “Halika rito. Ano’ng sinasabi mo kay Fyang?” The director denied saying anything inappropriate, but the assistant makeup artist stood by what she heard, prompting Fyang to speak up as well.
JM really played the protector there! Vice Ganda gave him the praise he deserved, and the whole studio felt kilig when he said that while he may not be able to shield Fyang from every bit of online bashing, if there are moments when he can stand up for her, he will.
