Ogie Diaz has issued a clarification regarding his earlier report about the alleged tension between Ivana Alawi and Jameson Blake during the production of their series ‘Love Is Never Gone’.
In a recent episode of ‘Showbiz Updates’, Ogie initially claimed that Ivana supposedly felt uncomfortable during a kissing scene after Jameson allegedly “took advantage” by sticking out his tongue during filming.
“Medyo na-feel daw ni Ivana na taking advantage kaya si Ivana, according to our source, ay isinumbong sa management itong si Jameson,” Ogie previously shared.
However, in the latest episode of the vlog released Sunday, May 10, Ogie revealed that he was able to personally speak with Ivana, who clarified that the story circulating online was incomplete.
“Sinabi niya [ni Ivana] sa akin na, ‘Ma, mali at hindi buo ‘yong kuwento mo,’” Ogie recounted.
According to the showbiz insider, Ivana confirmed that she and Jameson were indeed not on speaking terms during the recent media conference of the series, but stressed that the kissing scene was not the real issue.
“‘Yong kissing na nilabas ni Jameson Blake ‘yong dila niya, ‘Ma, hindi ‘yan ang issue. Wala ‘yan. Dahil ‘pag may mga gano’ng lalaki talaga sinasabihan ko na huwag ilalabas ang dila. Tingnan mo naman sa amin ni Joshua [Garcia], hindi naman kami nagkaroon ng problema,’” Ogie quoted Ivana as saying.
Ogie then disclosed that the alleged conflict supposedly stemmed from a physically demanding scene filmed in December 2025, where Jameson repeatedly had to throw Ivana onto a bed for a sequence.
“Ilang beses tinake ‘yong paghagis sa kaniya sa kama,” he said. “Na hindi ma-perfect-perfect daw ni Jameson. Kaya ang ending, tumama na ‘yong spine niya do’n sa kanto o sa edge ng kama na nagdulot ito ng sakit sa likod niya.”
According to Ogie, the incident allegedly resulted in Ivana being hospitalized and undergoing therapy for three months.
“Ang ending, siya ay naospital. Three months siyang nag-undergo ng therapy,” he added.
He also clarified that based on Ivana’s account, it was not the actress who reported the matter to management, but the production team itself.
“For the record ay hindi raw siya ang nagsumbong sa management kundi ang production mismo,” Ogie said.
He added that actor Sam Milby allegedly attempted to help fix the situation by encouraging the two stars to talk personally, but the meeting reportedly did not push through.
According to Ogie, Ivana supposedly only wanted an apology from Jameson so they could move forward professionally during tapings.
“Nasaktan nga ako, eh, ke sinadya mo o hindi may nasaktan, so sana mag-apologize man lang bilang maginoo,” Ogie quoted Ivana as saying.
As of writing, Jameson Blake has yet to release an official statement regarding the issue.
