On November 8, 2021, OPM icon and resident show judge Ariel Rivera decide to leave the show allegedly because of cost-cutting reasons.
But in an interview with Cristy Fermin via “Cristy Ferminute”, he revealed the reason why he left the show.
According to him, he left LOL because the show’s producer Albee Benitez is already losing money. In order to reduce the cost of the program, he decided to leave.
“So, imbes na mahirapan pa siya babawasan ko na lang ‘yung gastos, umalis na lang ako. Kaya umalis ako hindi masama ang loob ko kundi masakit ang puso ko kasi mahal na mahal ko ‘yung mga tao doon,” he said.
He also thanked Benitez for giving everything for the show to go on.
“Hindi ko na siya napasalamatan, ngayon palang kaya kung nakikinig si Congressman Albee gusto kong magpasalamat sa inyo pero ayaw ko ng maging pabigat sa production,” he said.
