Social media personality Xian Gaza has doubled down on his allegations against Kapuso star Alden Richards, claiming that unnamed individuals have corroborated his story involving a condominium and luxury items allegedly borrowed from a wealthy couple.
The accusations, which Gaza first publicized on Friday, October 23, 2026, have sparked online debate, with Alden’s supporters questioning their credibility and calling for evidence.
As of writing, Gaza’s claims remain unverified, and Alden has not publicly responded to the allegations.
In a Facebook post on Saturday, October 24, Gaza claimed that two influential individuals contacted him following his earlier video about the actor.
“After posting my exposé video yesterday, dalawang malaking tao na yung nag-reach out sa akin to kompirmd na totoo lahat ng sinabi ko about kay Alden. Matagal na daw nilang alam,” he wrote.
However, Gaza did not publicly identify the individuals or present independently verifiable evidence supporting their supposed confirmation. The online personality, who calls himself the “Pambansang Lalaking Marites,” said he was prepared to stake his reputation on the allegations despite the possibility of legal consequences.
“With that said, itataya ko yung buong Marites credibility ko for the last 5 years para sa tsismis na ‘to. Kung makasuhan man ng CyberLibel, eh ganun talaga, that’s life. All our actions have consequences that we need to face,” he stated.
He went on to accuse Alden of projecting a lifestyle beyond his means, using the phrase “serial lifestyle scammer” to describe the actor. The characterization is Gaza’s accusation, not an established finding.
In his October 23 video, Gaza claimed that Alden had befriended a wealthy couple during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to his account, the couple allegedly allowed the actor to stay in their condominium without paying rent. Gaza further alleged that Alden had remained in the property despite requests to return it.
“Ilang taon na. Ayaw pang mag-move out. Ayaw pang isauli ‘yung condo,” he claimed.
He also alleged that Alden had borrowed six luxury watches from the couple and had not returned them. These assertions have not been independently substantiated. The alleged owners have not been publicly identified in the material provided, and no documents establishing the condominium arrangement or ownership of the watches have been presented.
Following Gaza’s posts, several fans came to Alden’s defense, pointing to his successful entertainment career, endorsements, and business interests. One supporter questioned why the actor would need to borrow expensive belongings given his professional accomplishments.
“Si Alden, na maraming guesting, projects and endorsements, tapos may mga restaurants, McDonald’s, atbp., hindi niya ba afford ang condo at relong mamahalin? Baka siniraan lang ng source mo, Xian,” the netizen commented.
Another fan cited Alden’s charitable activities and support for students as reasons for doubting the accusations. Others urged the actor to consider legal action. While these reactions reflect support for Alden, neither his career success nor his charitable work independently establishes whether the alleged private arrangements existed.
