TV host Willie Revillame

TV host Willie Revillame has denied allegations made by a former production intern of “Wowowin” claiming that employees were supposedly not allowed to approach, talk to, or even look at him.

Willie broke his silence on the issue during Tuesday’s episode of "Wilyonaryo."

“Marami nang lumalabas sa social media na paninira. Huwag po kayong maniniwala d’yan na bawal daw akong tingnan. Una, hindi ko po alam na may OJT o naka-intern d’yan na mga estudyante. Hindi ko po alam ‘yan,” he said.

The veteran host also slammed the former intern, accusing the individual of using his name to gain attention.

“Huwag po kayong maniniwala na bawal akong tingnan o ano. Sira ulo itong batang ito. Gustong sumikat. Pati ako gagamitin n’yo? Paanong bawal akong tingnan eh lahat nga ng makikita ko, niloloko ko, binibiro ko,” Willie added.

“Alam mo ikaw, bata ka pa, sira ulo ka na. Minsan mabubwisit ka na lang sa mga fake news na ito. Hindi nga namin kilala ‘to… Never ho naming nakita ‘yan sa GMA,” he said.

TV host Willie Revillame also found it suspicious that the allegation surfaced around the same time he announced the return of "Wowowin."

“Babalik lang ang ‘Wowowin,’ sisiraan n’yo pa ako. Babalik ho ang ‘Wowowin’ para makatulong sa mga kababayan sa hirap ng buhay ngayon. Gumagawa na nga ng paraan,” he said.

Willie further challenged the former intern to face him personally.

“Pumunta ka rito, magpakilala ka sa akin at mag-one on one tayo. Sabihin mo sa akin kung kailan kita nakita. Gagawa ka ng isang istorya para sumikat ka? Gagawa ka ng istorya para makilala ka? Paglalaruan n’yo ‘yung tao?” he added.

In the end, Willie reminded netizens to use social media responsibly.

He also expressed hope that the former intern had finished school and is now living a good life.

“Diyos ko po. Matakot ka sa Diyos. Nagsasalita ka ng hindi totoo. Sayang. Bata ka pa lang, nagsisinungaling ka na… Kung ikaw ay estudyante noon, sana naka-graduate ka. Sana naging maayos ang buhay mo,” he said.

The former intern, identified as Dex Conche, is now a stand-up comedian.
