OGIE DIAZ – The talent manager and showbiz columnist has faced allegations of being a fake news peddler.

“May nagtsika pa sa akin na nagkikita nang lihim o pasikretong nagkikita si Daniel at si Andrea… Sabi ko lumang tao si Daniel eh at medyo may pagka-conservative yon… kasi talagang grabe niyang mahal si Kathryn,” said Ogie.
“Eh siyempre hindi naman to confirmed. Kaya dapat marinig din natin ang panig nila. Kasi nili-link si Daniel kay Andrea Brillantes, hindi ba nakakaloka. Huwag muna tayong basta basta maniwala. Hayaan natin na sila ang maringgan natin kung ano ang real status na kanilang relasyon,” he added.
While Daniel and Andrea are yet to clarify the issue, Ogie Diaz faces accusations of spreading false information. The talent manager and showbiz columnist trend on X, formerly known as Twitter, with over 12k posts under the hashtag “OGIE DIAZ FAKENEWS PEDDLER.”
