Long Mejia is demanding an apology from Ellen Adarna after walking out
LONG MEJIA – The veteran comedian called out Ellen Adarna for her “unprofessionalism” after walking out during the last lock-in taping of their series.
Long has been an actor for over twenty-five (25) years, and he is proud to have worked with famous personalities in the local entertainment industry.
These include the late Comedy King Mang Dolphy, the late multi-awarded actor Eddie Garcia, and the first Filipina Miss Universe Gloria Diaz.
But according to him, this is the very first time he met someone who is “unprofessional.”
Long Mejia is a cast member of John En Ellen, the TV5 sitcom starring John Estrada and Ellen.
The comedian allegedly witnessed Ellen walking out on the last day of the program’s lock-in taping.
Long couldn’t help but vent his resentment in an interview with PEP.ph last Wednesday, August 4.
He said: “Sa totoo lang, ako ang artista na hindi masyadong pinupuna ang lahat. Pero kapag mali na pala yung ginagawa, makakasagot ka talaga.
“Ngayon lang ako nakaranas nang ganyan. Si Ellen Adarna, hindi pa siya sikat, ha? Mali yung ginawa niya, umalis siya sa gitna ng eksena,” he added.
According to him, the incident happened on June 25 on the set of their sitcom at a resort in Laiya, Batangas.
Long Mejia said he couldn’t understand why Ellen didn’t even consider her colleagues on the show.
Long couldn’t help but mention Derek’s name and implicate him in the issue since he allegedly witnessed what happened but did not stop the actress.
When asked if he’s willing to face Derek to talk about the issue, he replied that he’s ready to air his view about it.
Meanwhile, Ellen Adarna herself has yet to air her side regarding the issue.
