In an incident that has stunned fans and industry insiders alike, Kapamilya star Kim Chiu was reportedly seen running towards her car in tears after allegedly being slapped by veteran actress Glydel Mercado during a heated moment on set.

What Happened?

According to witnesses from the taping of an upcoming teleserye, tension had been brewing between Kim and Glydel over a highly emotional confrontation scene. But what was supposed to be scripted drama allegedly escalated into a real-life altercation when Glydel’s slap “went too far” — or possibly wasn’t part of the agreed script.

An insider claimed:

“Everyone was shocked. After the scene was cut, Kim walked away holding her cheek and was visibly shaking. Minutes later, she was crying and rushed to her car.”

While it’s not uncommon for actors to request real slaps for authenticity, there is growing speculation that this one may have crossed a personal or emotional boundary.

Was It Part of the Scene?

Sources close to the production team are conflicted. Some say the scene required a slap, and Glydel, known for her fierce acting, delivered it with dramatic intensity. However, others insist that there was no clear go-signal from Kim to make it real, which may have caused her emotional reaction.

Fans React

The moment sparked instant buzz online, with fans expressing concern and outrage:

“Kim Chiu didn’t deserve that. There’s a line between acting and disrespect,” one fan tweeted.

“Glydel Mercado is a pro, but if that slap wasn’t agreed upon, she should apologize,” said another.

Supporters flooded Kim’s latest Instagram post with messages like “Stay strong, Chinita Princess” and “You didn’t deserve that kind of treatment.”

Glydel Breaks Silence?

As of now, Glydel Mercado has not issued any official statement, though insiders suggest she may speak out soon to clarify her side of the story.

Meanwhile, Kim Chiu’s team has refused to comment, stating only that the actress is “resting and recovering emotionally” after the incident.

What Happens Next?

This unexpected clash between two powerful actresses has sparked a broader conversation in showbiz circles: Where is the line between acting and real harm? Should boundaries be more clearly set before intense scenes?

Whatever the outcome, one thing is certain—Kim Chiu’s emotional breakdown has touched the hearts of many, and the industry is now watching closely for answers and accountability.
