Alden Richards’s manager speaks up about money allegations
The personal manager of GMA’s Pambansang Bae Alden Richards finally broke his silence about allegations that he is getting money from his talent’s fans.
In a lengthy post on Instagram that bared all screenshots of the malicious accusation against him, Carlites de Guzman said that he had kept his mouth shut all this time about the issue, however, those people who are spreading lies about him are getting out of control.
“My patience is hanging by a thread and I am ready to face these people who hide behind dummies just to break me,” de Guzman said on Tuesday, May 22.
The talent manager stressed that although he was not born in a rich family, he maintained that he has worked his way up through hard work and determination with his family as his inspiration.
“Never did I use people to get to where I am now.
It was fate brought by God that led me to discover and manage a talented young man but that business relationship turned into an unbreakable FRIENDship,” he explained.
“It NEVER went beyond that, contrary to what these malicious creatures are trying to imply,” he added.
De Guzman said that as manager, he always gives in to the request of fans, may it be Alden-only fans club or ‘AlDub’s fans club. This act, he said, is his way of giving back to the fans for supporting Alden all throughout his career.
“It is my way of sharing with them a piece of him. We owe it to them that he got this far and it is only proper to spend some time with them. But mind you, I didn’t get a single centavo from the fans,” the manager clarified.
De Guzman said that he has been wondering why people are putting blame on him when he did nothing wrong towards anybody.
“I always tried my best to do good and be fair to all. I had always remained on the sidelines. I avoided the limelight and I let the actor shine on his own. I never took credit for what he has achieved but still, rocks were thrown at me,” de Guzman said.
“I firmly believe that nobody, not even I, deserves anything like this,” he added.
The Kapuso actor’s manager then challenged those who tried to malign his reputation “to bring out proof of their libelous claims.”
“Stand up for what you think is true and I am ready to go on face to face and lay each other’s cards,” he ended.
As of writing, Alden has not yet issued any statement regarding this issue.
