Awez Darbar Finally Breaks Silence on Cheating Allegations: Nagma Told Me…

After his eviction from Bigg Boss 19, choreographer and content creator Awez Darbar has finally opened up about the storm of infidelity allegations that followed him inside the house. Contestants Baseer Ali and Amaal Mallik accused Awez of cheating on his long-time partner, Nagma Mirajkar, while actress Shubhi Joshi claimed to have dated him outside the house.

In an exclusive conversation with The Free Press Journal, Awez clarified his stand, defended his relationship, and addressed every controversy with unfiltered honesty.

Talking about Baseer and Amaal’s cheating allegations, Awez said,
“I went and told Baseer that if you don’t know whether what the third party told you is true or not, then how can you say all this on national television? Then he himself admitted that the same person had spoken things about him on another show, and when he asked her for clarification, she blocked him. So if Baseer is admitting that the girl blocked him when he asked for clarity, then how can he believe her?”

He further added,
“Baseer also got guilty because he knew what he had spoken about me were lies. That is exactly why he said sorry. Otherwise, a person like Baseer would never apologize. His claims got nullified because Nagma had heard those allegations herself, and she did not react because we weren’t even dating at that time. Baseer feared that if I revealed what I knew about him, he would be in trouble. I have kept quiet until now because he apologized. But I want to tell his PR team that if any more fake narrative is set from Baseer’s side, I will speak out and not keep my mouth shut. There’s a limit to everything.”

Awez also revealed what Nagma told him after his exit from Bigg Boss 19.
“She told me, ‘These people are mad, don’t they realize what they’re saying? How can they take a conversation about one thing and twist it into another?’ This conversation even happened in front of Salman sir, where I said that I was on a ‘trial period.’ It was about the fact that for nine years of trauma, I didn’t want to date or get married.

“In between, for one year, Nagma and I did not even talk. Later, I called her and said, ‘Now I miss you, because I remember you in everything. I want to go ahead, I want to marry you.’ She initially said no many times. Then one day she said, ‘You are on a trial period.’ I said okay, whatever it is, I accept it. We even spoke about this in front of Salman sir. So what is wrong here? Even if I had a past, what’s wrong with that? If I did date anyone before, I was single then. But I never did. I am still saying the same thing: I have never dated anyone, no one. I stand by my words.”

Regarding the claims made by actress Shubhi Joshi, Awez avoided taking her name directly. He said,
“I don’t want to drag anyone’s name or spoil anyone’s life by talking about them. That’s why I’ve stayed quiet about Baseer too. So I will just end it here. I am happy with Nagma. You figure out your life, I will figure out mine. Just don’t ask the makers to take you inside the Bigg Boss house as a wildcard contestant.”

With his candid remarks, Awez Darbar has put the controversy to rest and shown his commitment to his relationship and personal integrity.

EXCLUSIVE: How Prince Harry Was Blocked From Getting His ‘Dream’ Tattoo — After He Was Spotted at Inker’s Parlor in New York

**Prince Harry Nearly Got His “Dream” Tattoo During Wild Las Vegas Trip: A Story Resurfaced Amid Recent Tattoo Stunt**

*Published Oct. 1, 2025, 7:40 p.m. ET*

Prince Harry, 41, once came close to getting his “dream” tattoo during a notorious 2012 trip to Las Vegas — a story now resurfacing after he was recently seen participating in a tattoo stunt at a New York parlor.

In his memoir *Spare*, Harry recounted how, during that wild trip to Nevada, he was determined to commemorate the holiday with body ink. Fueled by alcohol and the thrill of freedom, he chose to get a map of Botswana tattooed on the sole of his foot.

### A Tattoo Plan Born in Sin City

However, Harry’s friends intervened, insisting that no prince should wake up with a permanent reminder of a night out in Sin City. A source close to the duke revealed, “Harry genuinely wanted the tattoo — to him, it symbolized both his connection to Botswana and living in the moment. His friends, though, saw it as a bad idea and stepped in, convinced he’d regret it later.”

### Friends Put Their Foot Down

In *Spare*, Harry explained his tattoo placement debate: the shoulder was too visible, the lower back too provocative, but the sole of his foot seemed perfect.

“Layers upon layers of symbolism,” he wrote, recalling how he wandered down the Las Vegas Strip searching for a tattoo parlor with an atlas of Africa. His friends, however, had other ideas. “Absolutely not,” they told him.

Harry recalled their threats to “hold me down, knock me out, whatever it took” to stop him from going through with it. Ultimately, he abandoned the plan and joined his entourage at a nightclub, admitting to sulking over the missed tattoo.

### Ink Fascination Resurfaces in New York

More than a decade later, Harry’s fascination with tattoos hasn’t faded. Last year, he was spotted entering East Side Ink in Manhattan alongside American country star Jelly Roll, sparking rumors that he had finally decided to get inked.

It was later revealed the scene was staged as part of a promotional sketch for the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025. In the short film, Jelly Roll jokingly inks Harry, who pretends to be getting his first tattoo.

The prank showcased the royal exile’s playful side but also revived memories of that Vegas trip. An insider said, “The stunt brought back memories of Harry’s long-standing curiosity about tattoos. Even though it wasn’t real, it reminded people of that night in Las Vegas when he nearly went through with it.”

### A Dream Deferred, Not Forgotten

Harry’s 2012 weekend in Nevada is remembered more for scandalous photos leaked from a game of strip billiards than for his unfulfilled tattoo dream. Yet, his memoir highlighted how seriously he considered the tattoo at the time, viewing it as a symbol of his independence.

Though he never followed through with the Botswana design, Harry admitted the idea lingered. “The tattoo could wait till the next day,” he recalled in *Spare* — though that day has not come… yet.

EXCLUSIVE: Why Meghan Markle ‘Hurled Cup of Tea in the Air’ Amid her ‘Miserable’ Existence in Royal Family

**Meghan Markle’s 2018 Australia Tour: Behind the Smiles, Tensions Sparked a Dramatic Outburst**

*Published Oct. 1, 2025, 7:55 p.m. ET*

Meghan Markle’s celebrated 2018 tour of Australia with Prince Harry was widely hailed as a public triumph. However, RadarOnline.com now reveals that behind the smiling photographs, tensions with aides left the Duchess of Sussex so “miserable” that it sparked a dramatic outburst—ending with her hurling a cup of tea into the air.

—

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, then newly married and expecting their first child, captivated crowds in Sydney and beyond. Harry, 34 at the time, expressed how “humbled and inspired” he was by competitors at the Invictus Games, while Meghan, then 37, praised the “unshakable bond” and camaraderie among service personnel.

### Public Triumph, Private Strain

Their first major overseas tour seemed flawless to the public and press, who dubbed it “Meghan-mania.” But sources close to the Sussex household describe a very different atmosphere behind the scenes. One insider revealed, “From the outside it looked perfect, but behind the scenes things were tense. Markle was unhappy, Harry was fixated on negative comments online, and the staff were stuck in between.”

Frustrations eventually boiled over. Markle allegedly flung a cup of tea into the air in what one source described as “a small but dramatic act of rebellion.”

### Clashes With Palace Aides

Royal author Tom Bower, in his book *Revenge*, noted that while glowing photographs of the couple dominated headlines, reality inside their team was marked by unhappiness. Meghan had brought close friends Jessica and Ben Mulroney from Canada as her support network, reportedly creating friction with Palace aides assigned to the couple.

Aides described Markle as “abrasive” toward staff and diplomats, recalling the moment she threw a cup of tea during a heated exchange. Another insider explained, “She was dealing with huge pressure and wanted the kind of press handling she was used to in Hollywood. When that wasn’t delivered, her frustration showed.”

### Harry’s Late-Night Obsessions

The strain intensified due to relentless media coverage. According to Bower, Harry scoured social media late at night for criticism, fueling their anxieties. Markle’s anger deepened when stories about her father, Thomas Markle, resurfaced in the American press — including allegations about drug use and claims that he first learned of her pregnancy on the radio.

Though these reports originated in the US, Harry allegedly blamed the British press, which further strained the team’s dynamics.

### A Rift That Never Healed

Behind the scenes, Markle grew increasingly irate with senior aide Jason Knauf, believing he and his team had failed to protect her. One source shared, “She felt vulnerable. Meghan admitted she had believed the Palace would shield her, but when that didn’t happen, her confidence in the staff collapsed.”

The rift with Knauf widened to the extent that Markle reportedly excluded him from knowing about her surprise appearance at the British Fashion Awards later that year, leaving even the press office blindsided. Valentine Low, in his book *Courtiers*, described this move as a deliberate public snub.

The fallout extended beyond palace staff. Markle’s once-close friendship with Jessica Mulroney eventually collapsed after Mulroney became embroiled in a race controversy in 2020.

—

### A Turning Point

Insiders say the tensions of that Australian tour marked a crucial turning point. As one source put it, “That was when the gap between the glossy image and what was really happening behind the scenes became undeniable.”

EXCLUSIVE: ‘RHONJ’ Star Teresa Giudice Considering ‘Patching Things Up’ With Melissa and Joe Gorga After Explosive Feud… As Her Future on Bravo Show Remains Up In The Air

**Teresa Giudice Opens the Door to Potential Reconciliation with Brother Joe Gorga and Sister-in-Law Melissa Gorga**

*Published Oct. 1, 2025, 3:00 p.m. ET*

Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice is sincere about being open to making up with her brother Joe Gorga and sister-in-law Melissa Gorga, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

During an appearance on Jeff Lewis’ SiriusXM show, Teresa was asked about coexisting with Melissa, Joe, and Margaret Josephs. Fans were stunned when she replied, “Never say never,” signaling a potential willingness to reconcile.

Some reports labeled this as a “desperate” move, suggesting Teresa was trying to secure her spot on RHONJ when the show inevitably returns. However, Teresa addressed these rumors on her *Turning the Tables* podcast, insisting that wasn’t the case.

> “The thing is, before I was very adamant – and I was just like absolutely not,” Teresa said. “And I know everyone’s saying now, ‘Oh my god, she’s saying it now ’cause she’s desperate. She needs a job.’ That’s not the case. There’s things that… there’s reasons why I’m saying that. It’s like an olive branch. Now I’m just saying, ‘Never say never.’ That’s it.”

She added, “I’m just saying my door is cracked open. I just said, ‘Never say never.'”

### Insider Confirms Teresa’s Intentions Are Genuine

An insider exclusively spoke to RadarOnline.com to affirm that Teresa is sincere about wanting to reconcile with her family.

> “The thing that stinks is this does come off as her looking desperate for wanting to make up with Joe and Melissa,” the source shared, referencing reports that test filming had taken place for the new season without Teresa, and that she may be using this as leverage to get back on the show.
>
> “But that’s truly not the case at all,” they insisted.

### Gia Giudice Encouraged Teresa to Stop Fighting

Currently appearing on *Special Forces*, Teresa’s experience on the show has also influenced her mindset about family.

> “On the show, her daughter Gia Giudice made her agree that stopping fighting would be best for everyone,” the source explained. “So when she did an interview promoting the show and was asked about Joe and Melissa, she gave the answer she did.”

The insider noted that Teresa “just didn’t articulate it clearly,” but that her intentions are genuine.

### The Future of Teresa Giudice on RHONJ

Regarding Teresa’s future on *Real Housewives of New Jersey*, which remains uncertain amid ongoing casting rumors, the source shared that she “hasn’t heard anything yet.”

> “But Teresa is strong,” the insider added. “She will be fine whichever way this works out. Like she always says, if it turns out to be a no, god’s rejection is god’s protection.”

Meanwhile, reports suggest Melissa Gorga, Margaret Josephs, and Dolores Catania are set to return for the new season. As usual, Bravo has not commented on casting for upcoming seasons.

Sydney Sweeney Channels Britney Spears By Wearing Same Starry Metal Mesh Dress at her Space-Themed Birthday Party Amid Rumors She’s Set to Play Singer in Biopic

**Sydney Sweeney Channels Britney Spears for Space-Themed 28th Birthday Bash**

*Published: September 30, 2025, 5:30 p.m. ET*

Sydney Sweeney paid tribute to pop icon Britney Spears by wearing the same starry metal mesh dress the singer donned during her space-themed birthday celebration. The *Euphoria* actress celebrated turning 28 in style, sparking rumors that she might be in the running to portray Spears in an upcoming biopic about the legendary performer.

### Out Of This World Party

The dress, famously worn by Spears during her *Circus* era, was more than just an outfit — Sweeney even recreated the iconic photo shoot pose by sitting on the floor with her legs to the side, mirroring how Spears promoted her 2008 album.

Sweeney’s birthday bash featured an A-list guest list including Glen Powell, Jeff Bezos and his wife Lauren Sánchez Bezos, Wiz Khalifa, and Sexyy Red. According to sources, other invitees included Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, Seth MacFarlane, Jessica Alba, Justin Theroux, and Jen Meyer.

Guests embraced the space theme enthusiastically, dressing as aliens, astronauts, space cowboys, and more in a truly out-of-this-world celebration.

### Rumored Relationship: Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun

Among the famous faces at the party was music manager Scooter Braun. While neither has publicly confirmed their relationship status, insiders say Sweeney is “not exclusively dating anyone right now but is having fun with Scooter.” One source noted, “It is not serious,” explaining that the *Housemaid* star is enjoying her “single era without any pressure.”

Just one day after the birthday event, Sweeney was seen with Braun, who is 16 years her senior, enjoying a night out at Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights. The pair were even photographed holding hands.

### “It Is Hot And Heavy”

A separate insider revealed, “They talk every day and see each other often; it is hot and heavy. I don’t want to say the L word, but it feels like the L word. They seem very much in love, or at least incredibly in lust.”

According to the source, their attraction is fueled by Sweeney’s vibrant energy and Braun’s “old soul” guidance, helping her navigate sudden fame and a rapidly growing career. “He gives great advice. They have what each other wants,” the insider added.

### Sparks Since June

The couple reportedly met at Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos’s wedding in Italy on June 27, making their connection nearly three months old.

Their romance has recently been on display during a romantic dinner date in Brentwood, Los Angeles. The pair were seen seated across from each other at Jon and Vinny’s, a popular Italian eatery.

At the dinner, Sweeney sported her blonde hair down, wearing a dark top, shorts that showcased her toned legs, and calf-height boots. Braun wore a white long-sleeved T-shirt, had a short haircut, and black prescription glasses.

After their meal, the duo left together and got into a black SUV, further fueling speculation about their relationship status.

Sydney Sweeney’s star continues to rise, both professionally and personally, as she celebrates her birthday and explores new chapters in her life. Stay tuned for more updates on her career and rumored romance with Scooter Braun.

EXCLUSIVE: Nicole Kidman’s ‘$600K Per Year Drug Clause’ for Keith Urban Under Scrutiny After Split — ‘A Decision’ to Separate ‘Wasn’t Made Lightly,’ Legal Expert Claims

**Sept. 30, 2025, Published 3:03 p.m. ET**

As Nicole Kidman’s separation drama from Keith Urban unfolds, a divorce attorney has exclusively spoken to RadarOnline.com about an intriguing detail in their prenuptial agreement — the so-called “cocaine clause.”

According to reports, this “cocaine clause” stated that Urban would be eligible for $600,000 annually, but only if he abstained from drugs and alcohol during their marriage.

### A Legal Expert Dishes on the Alleged Provision in Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s Prenuptial Agreement

Lois Liberman, a partner in Blank Rome’s Matrimonial and Family Law Group, shared her insights exclusively with RadarOnline.com about this pertinent clause.

“It is more than likely that, in addition to the alleged provision which provides Keith with $600,000 per year from Nicole for every year of marriage, there would be additional clauses that specify what Keith acquired in his own name as his separate property,” Liberman explained. “For those assets that the parties held jointly, there would presumably be some distributable interest in those assets. Any drug use would not diminish his interest in those assets.”

### Keith Urban’s Separation Likely Not a Light Decision, Says Legal Expert

Liberman noted it’s “possible” that the monies Keith was to receive annually — as compensation for waiving claims to assets Nicole acquired during the marriage — could be forfeited for years in which he did not have his drug use “under control.”

She added, “Given that it has been reported that the decision to separate was Keith’s, it is likely that if there were such a huge financial penalty — whereby he would have lost $11,400,000 ($600,000 x 19 years) — that such a decision would not have been made lightly. Alternatively, he may have felt financially secure enough to proceed with the divorce regardless.”

### Possible Post-Nuptial Agreement May Have Addressed Sobriety Issues

Liberman also suggested that Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban might have created a post-nuptial agreement during their marriage to address Urban’s “initial sobriety slip.”

“This may have clarified whether he would still be entitled to such monies if he remained clean and sober throughout the rest of the marriage,” she concluded.

### Keith Urban’s Struggles and Recovery During His Marriage to Nicole Kidman

In October 2006, only a few months after marrying Kidman, Keith Urban entered rehab for drug and alcohol addiction. Reports say Kidman planned an intervention, which Urban credits as a pivotal moment in his recovery.

He has described Kidman’s support during this period as critical, saying he was “very, very blessed” to have her by his side as he worked toward sobriety.

### Separation Outed: Split Said to Be One-Sided

As RadarOnline.com reported, the couple’s separation was revealed on September 29. Sources claim the split is one-sided, with Kidman doing everything she can to save their marriage.

He further emphasized the importance of valuing family members, especially in professional settings.

Desperate To Remain Royal? Meghan Markle Shows Off Lavish Floral Display Arranged with Queen Anne’s Lace in $14Million Mansion… as Prince Harry Fights to Rejoin Family

**Meghan Markle Shares Rare Glimpse Inside $14 Million Montecito Mansion Amid Royal Family Reconciliation Efforts**

*Published: Sept. 29, 2025, 2:00 p.m. ET*

Meghan Markle has offered fans a rare look inside the $14 million Montecito mansion she shares with Prince Harry, as the couple navigates efforts toward reconciliation with the royal family, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

In an Instagram Story, the Duchess of Sussex showcased the stunning interiors of their estate. During the tour, Meghan appeared to send a subtle nod of affection to her in-laws by highlighting a lavish floral display that paid homage to the royals.

### Meghan Markle’s Instagram Nod to the Royals

Markle, 44, shared a photo of their living room, where their beagle, Mia, lounged peacefully on a plush chair beside an extravagant floral arrangement. She captioned the post:

> “Delphinium, Nigella, Veronica – meet As ever. With garden roses and Queen Anne’s lace (and a very sleepy Mia). Looking lovely, ladies.”

While Queen Anne is not directly related to Prince Harry, she reigned over Great Britain from 1702 to 1714. Meghan’s choice to highlight Queen Anne’s Lace, a whimsical flowering plant, seemed to signify her olive branch toward the royal family.

### Meghan Markle Feared Losing Prince Harry After His Meeting with King Charles

This Instagram post comes shortly after Prince Harry’s meeting with his father, King Charles III, who is currently battling cancer and is 76 years old. According to insider reports obtained by RadarOnline.com, Meghan reportedly harbored concerns over the royal family’s intentions and feared she might be losing Harry.

One source shared:

> “Harry’s still buzzing off the back of his meeting with his father, and Meghan is pleased for him, to an extent. But, at the same time, she still worries the Palace could be using divide-and-conquer tactics, and it hasn’t helped that Harry has basically just thrown himself at their feet. He’s clearly very homesick and desperate to build on the positives of the meeting, and it’s taking a lot of his focus away from their life in America.”

### Plans for Spending More Time in the UK

Meanwhile, Markle’s apprehension about reconciling with her in-laws appears to have softened following Harry’s meeting with King Charles. Sources indicate that Harry has expressed a desire to spend more time in the UK with his young family.

Meghan is reportedly open to visiting the United Kingdom, but with a preference to stay in the Cotswolds, a popular celebrity enclave, rather than at a royal residence.

Insiders have also revealed that King Charles might consider offering the Sussexes a royal residence. However, it would likely be located far from Kate Middleton and Prince William, given ongoing tensions between William and Harry.

One insider explained:

> “There are plenty of empty properties on the estate. The royal family is not exactly short of accommodation at the moment. But I don’t think being next door to William and Kate would go down too well.”

### Harry’s Position on Returning to the Institution

Despite the potential visits, sources stress that Harry remains firm in his stance that there is “no move” to fully rejoin the royal institution.

Another source added:

> “Harry would love to come back to the UK more. His plans are driven by the causes that he supports – if they say, ‘We’d really like you to come over,’ he will try to make it work. It’s driven by the requests. He would love to do as much as possible.”

As the Sussexes continue to balance life between California and the UK, fans are keenly watching their next steps and hoping for a peaceful resolution within the royal family.

Christmas Crisis: Disgraced Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson Frozen Out of Royal Holiday Plans After Fresh Details About Epstein Relationship Were Leaked

**Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson Reportedly Not Welcome at This Year’s Royal Christmas Amid Epstein Controversy**

*Published: September 28, 2025, 2:30 p.m. ET*

Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson have reportedly been told they are not welcome at the Royal Family’s Christmas celebrations this year, as fresh controversy over their ties to Jeffrey Epstein resurfaces, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

According to sources, King Charles, 76, has made it clear he wants to keep both the Duke and Duchess of York, 65, at a distance following revelations that Ferguson privately apologized to Epstein after publicly disowning him. A recently exposed letter shows the Duchess describing the convicted paedophile as a “steadfast, generous and supreme friend.”

Andrew and Ferguson, who divorced in 1996 but continue to live together at Royal Lodge in Windsor, have also been instructed to remain “invisible” at future royal gatherings, insiders claim.

### King’s Stance and Family Reaction

A source close to King Charles told outlets:
*”You can’t sack someone from being your brother. But this year, if the Duke and Duchess were both to be as honourable (as last year), it would be very much for the best and the family would not be disappointed, not least to avoid the King having to make any more difficult decisions.”*

Last year, the King reportedly asked Ferguson to help persuade Andrew not to attend the royal Christmas after the Duke was linked to alleged Chinese spy Yang Tengbo. Instead, the Yorks spent the holiday privately at Royal Lodge without their daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.

This year’s scandal has further strained family ties. Royal sources suggest Charles and Prince William have agreed that Andrew remains a “risk” and a “threat” to the monarchy. The Prince of Wales is understood to fully support his father’s position.

### Fallout for Ferguson

Several charities have severed their ties with the Duchess of York after the exposé revealed she had written warmly to Epstein only weeks after pledging to sever ties.

In a private message, Ferguson admitted that she distanced herself from Epstein solely to protect her reputation as a children’s author, saying she had been advised to speak out “if she wanted to save her career.” She wrote the note “from the truth of my heart,” despite telling journalists just two months earlier: *“I will never have anything to do with [Epstein] again.”*

Friends insist she is “devastated for any embarrassment” caused and will explain herself to the wider Royal Family “in due course.”

### Tensions at Public Events

The Yorks’ presence at recent royal occasions has also raised eyebrows. At the Duchess of Kent’s funeral earlier this month, Andrew was seen laughing loudly and attempting to engage with Prince William, who appeared to ignore him.

While sources say Charles is “not of the mind to banish someone,” the monarch hopes Andrew and Ferguson will keep a low profile by using discreet entrances at family events.

### Broader Consequences

Andrew stepped back from royal duties in 2019 after his disastrous *Newsnight* interview and continued questions over his friendship with Epstein and alleged involvement with Virginia Giuffre, who accused him of sexual assault when she was 17.

Though Andrew denied the claims, he settled with Giuffre out of court for a reported $16 million.

Newly released U.S. congressional files have again linked Andrew to Epstein through message logs, flight records, and financial ledgers. The same documents also named other prominent figures, including billionaire Elon Musk.

The scandal is now affecting Andrew and Ferguson’s daughters. Friends of Princess Beatrice say she has “lost all hope” of ever becoming a working royal, despite her willingness to help ease the burden on Charles and William.

Annette Gozon-Valdes Defends Shuvee Etrata Amid Backlash Over Resurfaced Video

GMA Network senior vice president for programming, talent management, worldwide, and support group Annette Gozon-Valdes has come to the defense of actress and former *Pinoy Big Brother* alum Shuvee Etrata. Etrata recently faced heavy criticism online after an old video resurfaced showing her expressing sympathy toward former president Rodrigo Duterte.

The video clip, taken from a TikTok live last March, features Etrata telling her viewers:
“Naiiyak talaga ako kay [PRRD]. Kasi sa lugar namin, ang laki ng naitulong ni PRRD, especially when it comes to drugs. Ewan ko lang sa inyo, pero nagpapasalamat talaga ako kay Duterte.”

Following the circulation of the clip, many netizens expressed disagreement and criticism toward Etrata’s statements.

In response, Gozon-Valdes took to Facebook on Friday to clarify the situation and defend Etrata. She emphasized that the actress has been unfairly attacked on social media and expressed her readiness to offer support—not only to Etrata but to any artist or friend facing unwarranted public backlash.

“Please allow me to clarify an article going around. I am ready to offer my support to Shuvee, any of our artists, or any of my friends when they are wrongfully and unfairly attacked,” Gozon-Valdes wrote.

The Kapuso executive further underscored that Etrata is not a die-hard supporter of any politician. Instead, she described Etrata’s remarks as personal observations based on her own experiences.

“Shuvee is not die-hard for any politician. She has had very, very few (and short) posts that have political color in the past. She gave her personal observation and opinions on what she believed to be good acts and bad acts done by the [government],” Gozon-Valdes explained.

She added that if Etrata personally witnessed positive changes in her community—such as the reduction of drug-related issues—then her views should be respected. Likewise, her stance against the ABS-CBN shutdown deserves acknowledgment.

Gozon-Valdes’ statement sheds light on the ongoing tensions between public figures, political discourse, and the unforgiving nature of social media—where resurfaced posts and comments frequently ignite polarizing debates.
