Carmina's camp denies walk out issue with Claudine

The camp of television host Carmina Villaroel vehemently denied a report saying she walked out during a commercial shoot with actress Claudine Barretto because of the latter’s “endless demands.”

This issue started after Philippine Daily Inquirer columnist Dolly Ann Carjaval said in her January 29 column that Villaroel almost asked the shoot to “pack up” due to Barretto’s “diva” attitude.

In an official statement released on Sunday, Villaroel's manager Shirley Kuan said: "There is absolutely no truth to the article written by Dolly Anne dated January 29, 2012 in reference to Carmina walking out of a shoot.”

Kuan added that it has been three years since Villaroel and Barretto worked together for an endorsement.

“Dolly Anne may well serve her readers by refraining from reporting an imagined story as the truth. Her attention was called through a letter (refuting her story) from Ace Saatchi, the ad agency for Lactum. Carmina has completely and flatly denied the story as well,” she said.

According to Kuan, she is not expecting a comment from Barretto about the issue as the actress is currently in Europe with her husband.

Meanwhile, the talent manager told ABS-CBN News that she is not asking Carvajal to retract her story.

She said she is speaking now to let the public know what the real story is.

“I just want to inform the public what is the truth so they may know. I am speaking in the interest of correcting the lies that Dolly Anne may have sown, knowing that, a lie which goes uncorrected soon becomes the truth,” she said.
