Aniya, ”I am not in the habit of posting my grievances on social media, but today I have to make an exception. Professional Artists Managers, Inc. (PAMI) released in one of their statements in support of their member, Leo Dominguez, against the Facebook complaint of my director, talent and co-producer in Reality Entertainment, Mr. Erik Matti, regarding the non-compliance of the contractual obligations of Lovi Poe.
“I am surprised at how PAMI arrived at a consensus to support Leo Dominguez without even hearing our side of the story.”
Ani Dondon, pinirmahan nina Lovi at Leo ang kontrata para sa Tiktik: The Aswang Chronicles kasama ang sequel or prequel nito.
Aniya, tatlong beses kinompirma sa kanya ni Leo na lalabas si Lovi sa kanilang pelikula. Una ay noong nagka-usap sila ni Leo, pangalawa ay noong kukunin na ang schedules ni Lovi na sinabi pang kailangang bayaran ang aktres ng P400,000 para sa dalawang araw na paglabas, at ang ikatlo ay nang humingi sila ng tulong sa GMA Films sa pamamagitan ni Joey Abacan na kung maaaring maibaba ang TF nito sa P90,000 per day..
Subalit sa kabila na nagkasundo na sila sa presyo, napag-alaman daw ni Direk Erik na hindi pa rin matutuloy si Lovi, ito’y dahil hindi raw komportableng makatrabaho siDingdong Dantes. Ani Lovi, malamig daw ang pakikitungo sa kanya ng GF ni Dingdong na si Marian Rivera.
Kasunod nito’y hindi na raw sinasagot ng kampo ni Lovi ang mga tawag at text ni Direk Erik kaya naman naiintindihan daw ni Dondon kung bakit ganoon na lamang ang galit ni Direk Erik.
“What he said may be a bit harsh, but he has every right to his freedom of expression.
“To some, or to most even, it may be unpopular, but his honest, irreverent burst of anger straight from the heart, is something that I fully respect.
“I’d rather have a partner that’s direct and truthful, than one who is politically correct, a hypocrite and dishonest, just like some of our industry colleagues that we hope we could change little by little, in this lifetime.”
