Dani Barretto: “I reached out to her first and apologized to her first”
DANI BARRETTO – The content creator apologized to actress-host Alex Gonzaga after uploading a video of Alex smearing cake icing on the waiter’s face.
To recall, Dani posted a video where Alex can be seen smearing cake icing on the waiter’s face. Some netizens were able to download the said video and repost it on social media platforms even after her post on Instagram Stories expired.
On the sidelines of the thanksgiving party of beauty and wellness expert Anne Magkawas in Taguig City on Wednesday, Dani told ABS-CBN News that she apologized to Alex after uploading the said video.
She shared that she has regrets after uploading the said video because she hurts someone, adding that it wasn’t her intention to offend, especially on Alex’s birthday at that time.
“Of course I do have regrets kasi nakasakit ako ng tao. Siyempre, wala sa intensyon kong makasakit lalo na on her birthday,” Dani told ABS-CBN News. “Siguro, iyon ‘yung pinaka mabigat para sa akin, na nakasimula ako ng isang bagay na hindi ko naman ginusto.”
According to Dani, the Gonzagas are very important to their family as they’re very loving to their family. She also said that Alex is a very good friend of her brother.

The content creator recalled reaching out to the actress-host when the video, which she had uploaded as an update on her Instagram Stories, started circulating online.
“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,” Dani said. “Kaya hindi ako nagsasalita, kasi ayoko na talaga siyang palakihin. Move on narin tayo sa isyu na ‘to.“
This was the first time Dani spoke on the controversy, which led to Alex publicly apologizing to Allan Crisostomo, the waiter in the viral video. She shared that she and Alex are okay, adding that there are no ill feelings toward each other.
Dani added that she will be more circumspect in posting updates on social media moving forward.
