Talent manager Ogie Diaz is currently under fire from the dedicated supporters of Kathryn Bernardo, Daniel Padilla, and Andrea Brillantes after sharing unverified information in his recent ‘Showbiz Update’ vlog.
Diaz suggested that Andrea might be the reason behind the alleged breakup of KathNiel (Kathryn and Daniel) and hinted at secret meetings between the two.
While Ogie clarified that the details were not confirmed and originated from a source, outraged fans, particularly those of KathNiel and Andrea, quickly labeled him a “fake news peddler.”
Several netizens questioned Ogie’s intentions and accused him of orchestrating scenarios involving the artists. Ogie responded by highlighting the speculative nature of his report and sarcastically questioned whether he would receive a medal if proven correct.
May naibalita lang kami na sinabi naman namin na di pa confirmed at sana di totoo, fake news peddler na raw kami. So pag tama ba kami, sasabitan nyo kami ng medalya?

Despite the online criticism, Ogie expressed gratitude to those responsible for making him trend on social media, emphasizing that bringing joy to his audience was the ultimate goal.
Salamat sa mga nagpapa-trending. Ang importante, napasaya ko kayo. 😂
