Vivian quit the show following a rift with co-star Cristine Reyes, who she accused of being rude to her during taping. According to Vivian, Cristine even asked her to leave the waiting room they were sharing.

But in a TV Patrol interview, Cristine denied Vivian’s claims saying that she had never asked the actress to leave the waiting room they were both in. On the contrary, she said that it was Vivian who had an “attitude problem,” and that even the show’s production staff were complaining about her.

“I have evidence, I have messages from my co-stars, from the management, from the staff, that alam naman namin lahat ang totoo (we all know the truth), that you were lying about me,” she told TV Patrol. (READ: Cristine Reyes to Vivian Velez: ‘You were lying about me’)
