Actress Robb Guinto opened up about the alleged inappropriate experiences she encountered while working on sexy films, stressing that being a VMX actress should never be taken as permission to disregard personal boundaries.
In the latest episode of ‘Toni Talks’, host Toni Gonzaga asked Robb if she had gone through challenges similar to those previously shared by fellow actress Angeli Khang, who spoke about allegedly being taken advantage of while filming.
“Naalala ko in-interview ko si Angeli Khang. Nag-share siya ng mga challenges. Minsan, nate-take advantage. Nangyari din ‘yon sa ‘yo?” Toni asked.
“Opo, nangyari naman din po ‘yon sa akin. ‘Yong unang movie po na ‘yon, isang actor then isang talent,” Robb replied.
Robb recalled that one incident involved a fellow actor who unintentionally crossed one of her personal boundaries during a scene.
“‘Yong sa actor po, siguro nakalimutan ko atang sabihin kung anong limitation ko or what. So parang hindi niya sinasadya na nahawakan niya ‘yong dibdib ko. Nakita po ‘yon sa camera,” she shared.
According to Robb, the production immediately checked on her after the scene.
“Tinanong naman po ako. So sabi ko, hindi. Okay lang naman po. Pagsabihan n’yo na lang po na ito ‘yong limitasyon ko.”
She appreciated that the director asked whether she wanted the scene removed, but she instead chose to clarify her boundaries moving forward.
Robb also recounted a separate incident involving a talent whom she alleged assumed he could touch her because of the nature of her work.
She admitted that this experience upset her more because it reflected a misconception about actresses who appear in daring roles.
“Ang nakakalungkot lang sa side namin bilang sexy actress, iniisip ng mga lalaki na nanonood sa amin na porke VMX actress kami; porke naghuhubad kami, akala nila puwede nang hawakan lahat.”
The actress emphasized that regardless of the roles they portray on screen, performers still deserve respect and that personal consent and professional boundaries should always be observed.
Robb’s revelations come months after Angeli Khang also spoke publicly about her own experiences while working on sexy films.
Following Angeli’s disclosure in 2025, Gabriela Women’s Party called attention to the issue and reiterated the importance of ensuring safe and respectful working environments within the entertainment industry.
