Comedian Long Mejia received the worse backlash after his statement against Ellen Adarna and the latter’s alleged walk-out of John En Ellen set.
Through an interview, Mejia apologized to Adarna for his statements earlier against the artist and her alleged unprofessional behavior.
“Ellen… Ako ay tiklop-tuhod na humihingi sa iyo ng pasensya. Pasensya ka na. Huwag ka magagalit sa akin. Medyo hindi ko alam kung ano ang mga pangyayari.”
Mejia explained that he loves their TV5 sitcom, ‘John En Ellen,’ which resulted in his earlier statement.
Earlier, Mejia alleged that Adarna was ‘unprofessional’ for walking out of the set of their program.
She broke her silence, explained that she already waited beyond her agreed cut-off time for taping on June 25.
Mejia added that he was emotional at the time since it’s the last day of their taping for John En Ellen.
“Kaya kay Ellen Adarna, kaibigan naman kita Ellen, sabi ko nga. Pasensya ka na rin dahil nung araw nga na iyon na sinabing ikaw ay aalis na, e nalungkot din ako. Biruin mo, di na tayo magkikita.”
Mejia also noted that he wasn’t aware of any agreement between Adarna and the production team before releasing his earlier statement. Now, the comedian is suffering from the backlash of his previous remarks.
The comedian also apologized for his remark against Adarna’s fiancé, Derek Ramsay.
In an earlier statement, Mejia said that the actor should have stopped Adarna from leaving, given that he knows the value of professionalism.
“Kay Pareng Derek, yung mga biro ko sa iyo na, ‘Si Derek parang P.A. ni Ellen,’ biro yun. Binibiro lang kita.
“Derek, magkaibigan tayo. Magkaibigan tayo, Derek. Pasensya ka na. Wala akong ibig sabihin. Wala akong ibig sabihin na masama. Basta ang hangad ko, kayong dalawa ay maging ayos.“
