The publicist of Alex Gonzaga has explained the recent controversy involving the actress.
Recall that the 35-year-old star made headlines recently following the emergence of a video of her smearing icing on someone’s face.
In a statement sent to Bulletin Entertainment's Fashion Pulis columnist Mike Lim, writer Peter Ledesma explained the person that Alex smeared was a longtime "family friend."
The full statement read:
"Hi and good day, Sir Michael of Fashion Pulis. This is Peter Ledesma entertainment columnist and vlogger and longtime Publicist friend of Gonzaga Family.
"Favor, may I clear the issue regarding Alex Gonzaga viral birthday video and the waiter Allan. This Allan one of the waiters of Florabel Resto and Catering Service in Valle Verde Pasig, is a friend of Mommy Pinty Gonzaga and Soriano Family. Kaya majority of the event of Gonzaga and Soriano Family ay sila ang kinukuha ni Mommy Pinty na mag-cater ng food and beverages. At itong si Allan ay laging kabiruan na Mommy Pinty and Alex at ito ang parating nagse-serve sa kanila. Kaya tuwing nagkikita ay binabati agad ni Allan ang mag-mommy, magiliw ito sa kanila.
"Hindi naman magagawa ni Alex, ang magbiro at magpunas ng cake, kung hindi sila magkakilala ng said waiter, na sanay na sa pagiging mapagbiro at kikay ni Alex. This is the side of Mommy Pinty na higit na nakakaalam ng istorya ng anak. And one more thing, ay hindi totoong lasing si Alex na tulad ng pinalalabas ng kanyang detractors and bashers. Thank you, Fashion Pulis and good day again."
