Lovi Poe & Erich Gonzales Physically Hurt Each Other Shooting A Confrontation Scene In 'The Significant Other', Producer Dennis Evangelista Reveals Who's Really At Fault

 

LOVI POE and Erich Gonzales are currently shooting the movie about infidelity, “The Significant Other”. Lovi is a Kapuso while Erich is a Kapamilya and this is their first film together, playing two women fighting over the same guy, with Tom Rodriguez as their leading man. In a recent confrontation scene that became physical on cam, they get to really hurt each other.

Erich slaps Lovi so hard that her face gets swollen while Erich’s hand hit an earring of Lovi and gets wounded and bleeds. The camps of both actresses magnified what happened and blamed each other, leading to a word war in social media.

Because of this, Dennis Evangelista, the line producer of “The Significant Other”, intervened and wrote his own piece on Facebook: “Being the Line Producer of the film ‘The Significant Other’, na-witnessed ko ang insidente. Multi awarded director Joel Lamangan instructed both Lovi Poe and Erich Gonzales to be very realistic in this cat fight confrontation scene. The scene is so intense that an accident happened. What you saw in the video is that Lovi Poe is the only one slapping Erich Gonzales, but hindi po yan ang kumpletong video para i-judge and blame Lovi Poe.

“I love both Lovi and Erich Gonzales but the truth is no one is to be blamed in this kind of accident. Kaya duguan si Erich, tumama ang kamay niya sa hikaw ni Lovi sa sobrang lakas ng sampal niya dito. Again this is also part of this intense scene. Nakahikaw si Lovi hindi para sa intensyon na paduguin ang kamay ng kaeksena niya kundi accesories talaga yun na nilagay ng kanyang Stylist since we are supposed to be doing a high end fashion show in that scene.

“We feel bad na naduguan si Erich, pero nasaktan din si Lovi, namaga ang panga niya sa tindi ng sampal ni Erich. Ang maganda sa dalawa ay tinapos nila ang eksena. Sabi nga ni Direk, this is the risk of being an actor, si Nora Aunor nga muntik ng maputulan ng tenga sa isang pelikula na ginawa niya.

“So please stop bashing and making "contravida" si Lovi Poe. Just like Erich Gonzales, mabait siyang bata at pareho silang mahusay na artista. All's well that ends well naman dahil nagkasundo rin sila agad after shooting. We are about to finish "The Significant Other" in two days shoot scheduled this Friday, October 6 and Sunday, October 8 Sunday. What happened is just part of their job as actresses at sila mismo, hindi nag-aaway kaya kayong mga fans, huwag nyo nang palakihin pa.”
