Social media influencer and vlogger Dani Barretto broke her silence over the viral birthday video of Alex Gonzaga.
Dani was the one who posted the video of Alex smearing the cake’s icing to a waiter’s face.
“Of course I do have regrets kasi nakasakit ako ng tao. Siyempre, wala sa intensyon kong makasakit lalo na on her birthday,” Barretto told ABS-CBN News in an interview in Taguig City.
“Siguro, iyon ‘yung pinaka mabigat para sa akin, na nakasimula ako ng isang bagay na hindi ko naman ginusto. Kasi very important sa pamilya namin ‘yung mga Gonzaga. They’re very loving to our family. Alex is a very good friend of my sister. So, talagang mahal na mahal ng pamilya namin ang mga Gonzaga, and vice versa,” she explained.
Dani said that she immediately reached out to Alex shortly after the video went viral.
“Alam naman iyon ni Alex, kasi sa kaniya talaga ako unang nag-reach out. Wala akong ibang kinausap, wala akong ibang ginawa. I reached out to her first and apologized to her first,” she added.
This is the first time Dani spoke about the controversy.
“Kaya hindi ako nagsasalita, kasi ayoko na talaga siyang palakihin. Move on narin tayo sa isyu na ‘to,” she said.
“Okay kami ni Alex. Wala kaming ill feelings towards each other,” she added.
