Ashley Ortega is the latest antagonist that netizens will hate on primetime for her role as Marriam in Legal Wives.
Legal Wives is GMA Network’s cultural drama series starring Dennis Trillo, Bianca Umali, Andrea Torres, and Alice Dixson.
Ortega earned the ire of netizens for being a liar and rebel and for causing a rido (clan conflict).
Her lie to Ismael (Dennis Trillo) would light the fire between the clans or families in the series.
Netizens expressed their dismay to Marriam as they noted how much of a liar she is.
