The item, which went viral on TikTok, accused an unnamed female TV host of being banned from a beauty clinic for rude behavior. The post by @basicpinay described the host as outwardly cheerful and relatable but privately disdainful and disrespectful.
The blind item, garnering over three million views and thousands of interactions, prompted guesses about the host’s identity, with some netizens pointing towards Mendoza. The allegations depicted the host as dismissive and difficult during a grooming session arranged by her team at the clinic, leading to the purported ban.
Mendoza, known for her amiable and down-to-earth persona on “Eat Bulaga,” found herself at the center of these speculations, leading her to question the quick jump to conclusions with her response, “Ako agad?” Her comment sparked further discussions, with fans and detractors weighing in on her purported behavior.
Despite the swirling rumors, several netizens defended Mendoza, sharing positive personal experiences and affirming her character.
