Camille Prats addressed the viral moment that turned her recent TV appearance into a social media talking point, saying she personally apologized to Kuya Kim Atienza and that there are no hard feelings between them.
The Kapuso actress and host spoke about the incident during an interview with Boy Abunda, explaining that she was unaware of the show’s emotional lead-in when she was introduced on air shortly after tributes were made for Atienza’s late daughter, Emman.
“I didn’t know that kung ano yung pinanggalingan ng programa–– that was actually the first live show they had after what happened to Kuya Kim–– so I wasn’t aware of that,” Prats said.
Focused on her guest performance, she admitted she did not review the script and only realized the situation when the clip spread online.
Despite understanding why viewers reacted strongly, Prats said she immediately reached out to Atienza. “I’m like ‘Kuya forgive me, I didn’t know,’” she shared, adding that she was grateful he took it lightly.
Atienza reportedly told her there was no need to apologize, but Prats insisted. “What’s important is he’s fine, he’s okay, he’s happy–– we’re okay,” she said.
Atienza later joked that the moment helped lift his spirits, calling Prats “Pambansang Dopamine.”
