Bea Alonzo’s former manager, Shirley Kuan, has opened up about why she decided to quit as Bea Alonzo's manager.

At a press conference, Shirley clarified that the final straw was when she was "disinvited" to an event for the actress, something that "offended"  her mainly because she claimed she "closed the deal" herself. 

“I closed this event deal; I was talking to the client and preparing this event. I was told by the client that I’m disinvited, and I already knew what happened even when the client didn’t want to tell me. I already knew who it is,” Shirley said.

The veteran talent manager maintained she has no idea what led to it but accepted the decision.

“Hindi ako nagalit, but I’ll be a hypocrite if I tell you I’m not offended because this was never done to me. Wala naman akong kasalanan, what have I done?” 

"That’s the last straw. After I told her that, she said she didn’t know about it. ‘Okay, now I’m telling you. And this very moment and as of this very day, I’m no longer your manager,” she said.

Shirley also shared how she communicated with Bea prior about the constant bashing she was getting for supposedly meddling with her wedding plans to Vincent Co. 

“Ang sabi ko hindi ko alam kung bakit ako sinisiraan non-stop, Bea, you never defended me. Hindi mo naman ako ipinagtanggol,” Shirley said.

Shirley then clarified why she decided to speak about the issue.

“I promised her I’m not going to make any announcement about any resignation. But I was given no choice but to defend myself because enough is enough. I kept quiet, I kept my promise, until it came out. Was it yesterday? I was in the news everywhere."

Bea is yet to issue a statement on the matter.
