In response to a number of netizens who made guesses and mentioned her name, Maine Mendoza reacted to a blind item about a female TV host who was allegedly banned from a beauty clinic for being rude.
The blind item was shared on TikTok by a certain @basicpinay last Saturday, March 16, and has since earned over three million views, more than 47,000 likes and over 2,500 comments as of this writing.
“Da who [ang] female show host na kilala bilang masa at kalog, [napakataray] in real life,” the post read. “According to a clinic owner, banned na ang host from her business dahil walang respeto sa staff niya ito.”
(Who is this female show host who is known for being jolly and outgoing, but is actually a snub in real life? According to a clinic owner, this TV host has been banned from her business because she was disrespectful to the clinic staff.)
The unidentified TV host’s team supposedly made a deal with the beauty clinic to groom her before a shoot. During the clinic staff’s interaction with the TV host, she was allegedly a snub, a complainer, and did not even make eye contact.

Netizens then took to the comments section to guess the celebrity that the blind item was referring to, with some speculating that it might be Mendoza. Other netizens even stated their alleged interactions with the “Eat Bulaga” host.

The video creator replied to Mendoza’s remark, although the former did not immediately confirm or deny if the blind item was indeed about the “Eat Bulaga” host.
