Ruffa Gutierrez has formally resigned from TV Saturday morning showbiz-oriented talk show “Paparazzi” following the controversial "bastusan" that occur on her birthday celebration.
In a statement sent to the media on June 29, Ruffa said she submitted her resignation letter to TV5 entertainment and creative head Perci Intalan on June 27; this, after pondering about “the direction that the show has been geared towards as of late that is no longer aligned to what she wish for herself and for her children and even the causes she stand for.”
She also stated that it’s “far more important… to imbibe the right values for her children and it begins by being a good example to them of what a woman should be.”
Meanwhile, “Paparazzi,” through a taped report on June 30, issued its statement in relation to Ruffa's resignation.
Sa gitna ng kaganapang ito, nalulungkot at lahat ng bahagi ng programang ‘Paparazzi Showbiz Exposed’ dahil ‘di nagustuhan ng host na si Ruffa Gutierrez ang naging takbo ng mga pangyayari nung Sabado. Magkagayunpaman, nais naming iparating na hindi intensyon ng programa na makasakit ng kaninumang damdamin sa anumang paraan.“Ilang araw na rin ang lumipas, marami na ang nasabi, at narinig na ang mga pahayag ng bawat panig. Hangad naming tuluyan nang matuldukan ang isyung ito at magpatuloy ang magandang karera ng bawat isang nauugnay sa intrigang ito.”
And as they always say, "Life goes on" and so with Paparazzi. On Saturday, Lucy Torres-Gomez sat as one of the show's hosts together with regular hosts Cristy Fermin, Dolly Anne Carvajal, Mr. Fu and Zoren Legaspi.
