VICE GANDA FINALLY SPEAKS OUT ON CONTROVERSY WITH MC AND LASSY: WHAT REALLY HAPPENED ON ‘IT’S SHOWTIME’?

In the world of Philippine entertainment, few names shine as brightly as Vice Ganda’s. Known for sharp wit, unapologetic humor, and a heart that connects with millions, Vice is a staple on the long-running noontime show “It’s Showtime.” But recently, a cloud of controversy stirred the fandom after rumors spread of a falling out between Vice Ganda and two of his closest co-hosts and friends—MC and Lassy.

Social media buzzed with speculations. Was there tension off-camera? Were friendships damaged beyond repair? Why did some fans notice “awkward” moments during live shows? Amid the swirling rumors, Vice Ganda finally broke his silence—and what he revealed surprised everyone.

The Origin of the Rumor

It all began when netizens started posting clips from “It’s Showtime” showing supposedly “cold” interactions between Vice and MC & Lassy. Some eagle-eyed fans claimed Vice appeared to be “ignoring” jokes from the duo, while others pointed out that they were being given less screen time.

The online speculation intensified when MC and Lassy were noticeably absent from several episodes without explanation. Blogs, vlogs, and fan forums exploded with theories, ranging from personal disagreements to professional jealousy. Even though there was no official statement from the show, the public couldn’t help but feel something was amiss.

Vice Ganda’s Statement

After weeks of speculation, Vice Ganda finally addressed the issue in a heartfelt segment on “It’s Showtime.” With the live studio audience watching intently and millions tuned in online, Vice opened up with raw honesty.

“I know marami ang nagtatanong, and it’s only fair that I speak up,” Vice began. “Hindi kami magkagalit nina MC at Lassy. Hindi kami nag-away. Kung anuman ang nakita n’yong awkwardness, it’s part of the complexities of working in a high-pressure environment.”

Vice explained that all relationships—even the closest ones—go through moments of tension and misunderstanding, especially when you’re working on live television almost daily.

“MC and Lassy are my friends. They’re family to me. But just like in any family, minsan nagkakaroon ng tampuhan. But we talk, we fix things, and we move forward. That’s the most important thing,” Vice said.

MC and Lassy React

Soon after Vice’s statement aired, both MC and Lassy took to their social media platforms to express their gratitude and support. In a joint Instagram post, the comedy duo shared a throwback photo with Vice, captioned: “Through laughter and tears, the bond remains. Thank you for always being real with us. We love you, Meme Vice.”

They also posted behind-the-scenes videos showing them laughing and rehearsing with Vice, a clear message to fans that there was no real feud.

“We’re okay. We’ve always been okay. Some things are just misinterpreted when you’re in the spotlight,” MC wrote in a separate Instagram Story.

Vice Ganda’s decision to publicly speak about the issue showcased not only transparency but leadership. In an industry where many celebrities choose silence, Vice chose openness, understanding the responsibility that comes with being a public figure.
