During the June 27, 2026, broadcast of Ogie Diaz Showbiz Update, Diaz shared a personal, unvarnished history to shed light on Chiu's true character. He recalled an awkward hallway encounter years ago at ABS-CBN where Chiu unexpectedly directed a blunt statement at him despite their pre-existing personal misunderstanding.
“Mga isang metro nagkatinginan kami ni Kim Chiu,” Diaz explained.
“So akala ko magha-hi or ano syempre meron kaming konting misunderstanding eh so nung nagkatinginan kami, out of the blue nasabi niyang 'Buti naman pinapasok kayo.'”

When his co-host Mama Loi asked about her expression, Diaz described her look as an uncomfortable mix of a forced smile and a frown. Diaz confronted Kim momentarily before she entered her dressing room.
“Sabi ko 'Bakit, bawal ba?' sabi ko,” Diaz recalled saying.
Rather than harbor resentment, Diaz directly linked that past event to the ongoing storm involving Ryzza Mae Dizon. During the vlog, Mama Loi explicitly asked if her sudden utterance of “kamukha ni Ryzza Mae” was triggered by the exact same defensive state of mind.
“Huo nabigla lang din, for lack of words to say na hindi na naman niya na me-mean yun ang gusto niyang sabihin na, na parang kamukha ni Ryzza Mae yung Lotus Feet na kinakarakter ni Jugs, hindi niya na me-mean niyan,” Diaz answered.
Diaz argued that the actress frequently acts without an internal filter when startled or put on the spot, drawing direct parallels to her famous pandemic-era viral slip.
“So sinasabi ko lang na baka ano lang yan walang kinakaiba yun sa 'bawal lumabas' nung pandemic,” Diaz emphasized.
“Para lang maintindihan natin si Kim Chiu.”
Concluding his thoughts, Diaz made it clear that he was not trying to fan the flames of the controversy, choosing instead to offer professional empathy.
“Ako naman kasi, naniniwala ako isang araw mag co-cross ang landas namin ni Kim Chiu,” Diaz remarked.
“Magkikita't magkikita kami.”
Kim Chiu is a prominent Filipino actress, television host, and singer who rose to fame as the first teen big winner of the reality show Pinoy Big Brother in 2006. Widely dubbed the "Chinita Princess" and a major box-office star, she has built a massive career spanning two decades, currently starring in dramas like The Alibi and co-hosting the daily variety program It's Showtime.
In another report, showbiz insider Ogie Diaz recalled an awkward encounter he allegedly had with It's Showtime host Kim Chiu inside the ABS-CBN compound. According to Ogie, the incident took place during the grand finals of Tawag ng Tanghalan when he and his family happened to cross paths with the actress. He claimed that Kim made an unexpected remark toward him, leaving him surprised because of their previous misunderstanding.
Meanwhile, Ogie Diaz recently shared a humorous warning about taking casual photos in public while referencing the country's ongoing political issues. He jokingly said he has become overly cautious about being photographed with a mysterious suitcase, fearing it could be used against him. Ogie also quipped that aspiring actors should simply turn to artificial intelligence for acting lessons instead of traditional methods.
