Showbiz insider and talent manager Ogie Diaz addressed Sarah Lahbati directly after being dragged into the rumored breakup of celebrity couple Ellen Adarna and Derek Ramsay, clarifying that he harbors no ill feelings toward the actress.
In the latest episode of his YouTube vlog Showbiz Updates aired on Tuesday, October 28, Ogie said he was open to having a one-on-one interview with Sarah to clear the air.
“Wala akong galit sa’yo, Sarah. Kung gusto mo, kung willing ka rin, open naman ako for one-on-one interview with you,” he said. “Nagkataon lang na feeling ko ikaw ang galit sa akin. Kasi ako ‘yung binlock mo sa Instagram. Ako, wala akong galit, promise.”
The clarification came after Sarah was mentioned in Ogie’s earlier vlog, where he discussed — based on a source — that one of the alleged reasons for Ellen and Derek’s misunderstanding involved a disagreement over buying a house. The source also claimed Sarah was the supposed agent for the property Ellen wanted to purchase.
Ellen and Sarah were quick to deny the claims, with Ellen even tagging Ogie in an Instagram Story.
“Mama Og, claruhin lang natin, pag sure sa imong source. Tawang-tawa kami ni Sarah sa’yo. If I wanted to buy a house sooo bad, bilhin ko myself.
And — hindi house agent si Sarah. Wala sa skill set n’ya ‘yan. Ano na?!! Grabe ang remix ng stories, kakaloka,” Ellen wrote, laughing off the rumor.
Ogie responded that he never confirmed any of the allegations but was merely echoing questions from his source.
“Hindi ko naman kinumpirma na hiwalay na sila o dahil kay Sarah. Ang tanong ko lang, totoo ba itong narinig ko mula sa source?” he clarified.
The comedian-turned-vlogger reiterated that his goal was only to seek the truth, not to malign anyone.
“Sana bigyan mo rin ako ng pagkakataon na marinig ko ang panig mo sa mga issues na involved ka rin,” Ogie said.
As of writing, Sarah Lahbati has not issued any further statement regarding Ogie’s remarks. Ellen and Derek, meanwhile, have yet to confirm or deny the real status of their marriage.
LionhearTV remains open to publishing Sarah Lahbati’s side should she wish to respond.
