- Arnold Clavio shared that Karen Davila never contacted him after their altercation in January 2018.
- He explained that he called her out on social media because she had slammed him there too.
- Arnold and Karen used to work together for GMA News before she transferred to ABS-CBN.
ABS-CBN broadcaster Karen Davila has yet to reach out GMA Network broadcaster Arnold Clavio. The two had argued in social media in January 2018 regarding the issue with Rappler.
On January 18, Thursday, Karen slammed the Saksi Sa Dobol B‘s segment, Balitawit, in joking about Rappler shutting down. Arnold called her out on not getting their side.
In an interview with PEP.ph, Arnold revealed that he has yet to talk with Karen. Even Karen’s husband, DJ Sta. Ana, asked about the said matter. He also noted that he only reminded her.
“Wala. Wala, wala kahit yung… Yung husband niya kasi, kaibigan ko din, si DJ, nagtanong siya. E, di daw siya active sa Twitter, sabi ko, ‘Di bale na lang.’ Okay lang yun, talagang parang paalala lang [yun] kasi senior naman ako sa kanya, e.”
Arnold and Karen used to work together for GMA News before she transferred to ABS-CBN. They also worked together in Brigada Siete and Radar. This also proved that Arnold somewhat knew Karen personally. He remarked that she may have just been passionate back then.
Arnold also just clapped back as she didn’t even ask for his side. However, Arnold mentioned that Karen never contacted him again.
“So, baka passionate lang siya. Kasi ako, ang isa kong laging ano… cautious ako kapag kapwa media na yung involved, mag-iisip ka talaga, e. Lalo na ibang network pa, baka iba kasi ang maisip na motibo. E, kilala naman si Karen sa ganun, di ba, biglang-bigla na lang siya umano. Medyo nag-aano lang ako kasi hindi mo man lang ako tinanong. Biglang-bigla kang [nag-post] ‘tapos hindi mo pa ako kinampihan. Kung narinig mo yung paliwanag ko, baka… so, di ba? Yun lang, paalala lang yun. Pero kung magkita kami, e, di magbatian kami. Pero hindi talaga siya nag-ano… tinext ko, PM, wala, e.”
Arnold also called out Karen on social media as she had posted it there, too.
“Ang sa akin naman, nag-comment siya sa social media, dun ko siya sasagutin, di ba, para mabasa rin ng follower niya. Kasi kung kami lang [mag-usap], baka hindi pa niya sabihin yung mga dapat sinabi ko, mahirap na, e. Pero okay lang.”
