Ruffa Gutierrez Quits TV5′s Paparazzi

After Ruffa Gutierrez was grilled, whisper style, in TV5′s Paparazzi’s “Bulong ng Palad” segment, she decided to quit the show. Ruffa felt disrespected and would no longer tolerate the “trashy reporting that degrades people or shames others.” Watch the video below then read the series of Tweets from Ruffa after the fold.

Ruffa’s supporters are asking for MTRCB to step in and give sanction on Paparazzi. While I agree that the show certainly needs some kind of regulations imposed on them, I don’t see how the whispered questions would pass the legal boundaries though. The questions were never said out loud except for Zoren’s which could be misinterpreted in so many ways. Credit to Ruffa for handling that segment with grace. Let’s see what TV5 will do now that she just quit the show. FYI, that whole “bulong ng palad” portion was so chaka in the first place. WTH?
