The King of Talk Show Boy Abunda reacted to an insult hurled at him last Sunday by popular cosmetic surgeon Dr. Vicki Belo.
“Vicki, if you are watching, alam mo kahit kailan, hindi ako namuhunan sa gandang panlabas dahil wala ako noon," Abunda said over SNN: Showbiz News Ngayon. "Alam mo, namuhanan ako ng sipag, tiyaga, dasal. At Vicky, wala akong ilusyong maganda, wala akong ilusyon. Pero wala din sinuman ang may karapatang manlait sa aking pagkatao."
Abunda was commenting on Belo's statement over a rival network's Sunday showbiz program where she made fun of Abunda's looks.
Belo, who was a guest on "Showbiz Central," said: “All I’d like to say is, if you want to look like Boy Abunda , go to Calayan, But if you want to look like Dingdong Dantes and Piolo Pascual, come to Belo."
Belo appeared on the show after she gave an exclusive interview with SNN last week where she reconciled with Kris Aquino, a former endorser of Belo's clinics.
Abunda, who claimed that he was really a good friend of Belo, got emotional when he shared that his mother called him Sunday night to ask if he did something bad to Belo, which might be the reason why Belo insulted him.
“Last night, 10 o’clock in the evening I got a call from my nanay from Samar. Sabi niya ‘hindi lang ako mapakali, sagutin mo lang ito: mayroon ka bang ginawa kay Dr. Belo at ginagawa ka niyang katawa-tawa?’ Wala po akong ginawang masama kay Vicki Belo. Vicki if you are watching, you know that I did not do anything bad to you to deserve this insult. Wala akong ginawa sa iyo. 'Nay if you are watching, wala po akong ginagawa dahil narating ko itong maliit na ispasyo dito sa industriya na walang tinapakan,” he added.
The host also defended himself by saying that you don’t need to have good looks like Dantes.
“At mga kaibigan, hindi po tayo kasi kailangang maging kasing [gwapo] ni Dingdong para maging masaya at para maging mabuting tao,” Abunda added.
