Marian Rivera addresses long-standing padlock rumor

Actress Marian Rivera has addressed long-standing rumors regarding an alleged confrontation with actress Bela Padilla during the filming of the series ‘Endless Love’ in 2010. The rumors, often referred to as the ‘padlock’ issue, claimed that Rivera had cornered and locked Padilla in a restroom following a scene involving Rivera’s husband, Dingdong Dantes.

During an appearance on the show ‘Gandang Gabi Vice’, Rivera clarified that the two actresses have long since reconciled. She noted that the reconciliation occurred years ago when Padilla appeared as a guest on Rivera’s own show. Rivera stated that Padilla apologized to her and that they have cleared up misunderstandings regarding events that were rumored to have happened but did not occur in reality.

Rivera explained that she had previously avoided addressing the speculation publicly because people often form their own perceptions. She emphasized that she has forgiven Padilla and that they are on good terms whenever they meet.
