Cristy Fermin said that GMA Network bosses had confronted Kapuso hunk, Jeric Gonzales, due to his involvement with gays.
On July 14, Fermin shared that Gonzales was confronted by GMA bosses.
“Tapatin na natin. Wala namang ibang isyung kinakapit dito kay Jeric kundi ‘tong pamamakla. Ang pinakahuli, ‘yung lumabas pa kasing mga litrato.
“’Yang kay Jeric, lagi na lang siyang nakakaladkad sa isyu ng pamamakla. Ginagastusan ka ng network. Ginagawa nila ang lahat para sa promosyon pagkatapos ang ginagastusan nila sa promo [ay] palaging nalalagay sa intriga at hindi pa kagandahan ang isyu.”
Fermin was referring to the photos of Gonzales and a man circulating on social media platforms in June.
The said photos feature Gonzales having sweet gestures with a man, and the two looked like they had identical rings. But the Netizens have defended Gonzales saying the viral photos were for an indie film.
“Kaya dapat lang siyang ipatawag, labhan at banlawan. Totoo ‘yan. Umingay ang pangalan ni Jeric Gonzales dahil sa isyu ng pamamakla.
“Ang tanong na lang ngayon, hanggang kailan maililihim ni Jeric Gonzales ang kaniyang mga pagsa-sideline?” Fermin continued.
Gonzales is currently a talent of Sparkle GMA Artist Center under the management of Johnny Manahan.
