The TV host-actress and vlogger recently made viral for allegedly humiliating a service worker during her 35 birthday celebration, last January 16.
More people in showbiz are exposing their experiences of working alongside TV and social media personality Alex Gonzaga—and they’re not flattering! The sister of popular movie and TV star, Toni Gonzaga, has been the subject of various viral trends, most of which have been controversial. Therefore, her most recent blunder did not come as a surprise.
@kyoquijano posted, “Not surprised. She thinks she’s always funny, Nakasama ko siya sa shoot before and na-starstruck ako sakanya, tapos inapproach niya ko tapos super kilig ako pero yung intro niya sakin is, “hoy bat ka naging zero subscribers?” + stuff regarding my past issues.”

Actor Phi Palmos shared a story from a friend who also had a “not-so-flattering” experience with Gonzaga. “From a friend. Grabe talaga siya. Basura,” his tweet reads.

A production designer with whom Alex and Toni worked on a magazine shoot had this to say about his experience.

So I've worked with the Gonzaga sisters twice already as a Production Designer.

@xtiantuzon_ took his chance of sharing “OOF since a lot of bad experiences from her are coming out. We used to work with her and I remember her violating our contract for posting a competitor brand but refused to accept the consequences. Nilaban pa ng momager nya na kami ang may mali kasi di nalinaw sa kanila. YIKES.”

Columnist and author, CJ Tantengco, similarly worked with Gonzaga for a TV commercial and only has unfavorable memory of her.
Worked with her on a TVC where we needed a full day of shooting. All the other artistas agreed to an early call time except her, who insisted on 12nn.
We adjusted our plans & prepared to rush our shooting, thinking she had another commitment. Pala: "Di lang ako morning person." https://t.co/CgKDnlFiwW

Before her viral birthday clip, the younger Gonzaga was notably the subject of several controversies, including her alleged ‘prima donna’ attitude on a TV production set.
Veteran actress, and columnist Cristy Fermin, and other personalities had also previously had personal experiences of working with Alex Gonzaga, whom her husband Mikee Morada describes as “very generous and loving”.
