In an emotionally charged turn of events that has rocked both fans and the local entertainment scene, actress and beauty queen Ruffa Gutierrez was reportedly rushed to the hospital after fainting at her residence earlier this week. Initial reports now claim that the beloved star suffered a miscarriage, sparking an outpouring of concern and heartbreak across social media.

But what shocked many even more was a surprising reaction from Kris Aquino, who, despite her own ongoing health battles, decided to break her silence and comment on the situation — and her words were anything but expected.

💔 A Shocking Medical Emergency

Sources close to the Gutierrez family say Ruffa had been feeling weak and lightheaded in the days leading up to the incident. But no one expected that it would escalate to her collapsing without warning, leading to an emergency rush to the hospital.

Doctors reportedly confirmed that she had suffered a miscarriage, although no official statement from Ruffa’s camp has been released as of this writing. The identity of the child’s father has also not been confirmed, leading to widespread speculation.

“She was devastated,” said one insider. “Ruffa had been quietly hoping and praying for this child… this loss hit her hard.”

💬 Kris Aquino: “Now You Know What Real Pain Is.”

Adding fuel to the fire, Kris Aquino allegedly reacted to the news in what many are calling a “cold and controversial” statement.

According to a screenshot circulating online, Kris reportedly said:

“Sometimes we must lose everything to realize what we took for granted. Now you know what real pain is.”

The cryptic tone sent shockwaves through netizens, with many speculating whether there’s a deeper history between the two women — a rivalry, perhaps, that the public never fully knew about.

Kris, who is currently in the U.S. receiving treatment for her autoimmune conditions, has not clarified whether the message was directed at Ruffa or simply an unfortunate coincidence in timing.

💥 Public Reactions Explode

As expected, social media blew up with mixed reactions. While fans of Kris defended her words as being taken out of context, others saw them as insensitive and ill-timed.

“We’re praying for Ruffa’s healing. This is not the time for shade,” one user wrote.
“Kris Aquino is always on point, even if it hurts. She speaks her truth,” another fan fired back.

📢 The Silence from Ruffa’s Camp

Despite the whirlwind online, Ruffa Gutierrez has yet to issue an official statement. Her mother, Annabelle Rama, known for her fierce defense of her children, has also remained silent — which many say speaks volumes about the gravity of the situation.

Meanwhile, close friends and fellow celebrities have begun posting cryptic messages of support, including heart emojis and the word “stay strong,” prompting fans to send their well-wishes in droves.

What’s Next?

As Ruffa recovers from this heartbreaking ordeal, the public is left wondering: Will she finally speak out? And will Kris explain her side?

In a showbiz landscape known for drama and redemption arcs, this unexpected collision between two of the industry’s strongest personalities could be just the beginning of a deeper and far more personal revelation.

PART 1: Ruffa Gutierrez walks out on The Buzz because of Kris Aquino

Annabelle Rama defends daughter Ruffa; hits Kris.

Many were surprised when news broke that Ruffa Gutierrez had walked out of ABS-CBN’s showbiz talk show The Buzz yesterday, March 7. Ruffa is one of the hosts of the program, along with Kris Aquino and Boy Abunda.

In the “P.O.V.” segment of The Buzz yesterday, Ruffa suddenly became emotional when Kris joked with her: “Ruffa, admit it, the fun is on a different level here.” Kris was apparently referring to Ruffa’s scheduled transfer to TV5. Ruffa will be leaving ABS-CBN and The Buzz two weeks from now.

After Kris said this, Ruffa responded with this: “Well, I know, you don’t have to rub it in, Kris. Of course, I’m sad too, so please don’t, you know, add more.”

But at this point, tears were clearly visible in Ruffa’s eyes, and she was clearly holding back tears.

Before the commercial break, Ruffa was seen standing up from her seat while Kris and Boy were still sitting.

Shortly after the scene, PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) learned that Ruffa had walked out completely and did not finish the show. According to a report in PEP Alert yesterday, which was based on information from Ruffa’s camp, “Ruffa Gutierrez is crying and leaving The Buzz because of Kris Aquino’s threats against her.”

ANNABELLE STRIKES BACK. Before The Buzz had even ended, its counterpart program on GMA-7, Showbiz Central, got an exclusive phone-patch interview with Ruffa’s mother, Annabelle Rama.

A furious Tita Annabelle (as Ruffa’s mother is called in showbiz) spoke to Pia Guanio on the other line.

Pia’s first question to Annabelle was where Ruffa was at that moment.

“I’m sending her home, Pia,” replied Ruffa’s mother. “You know, the reason I pulled Ruffa out of The Buzz is because I can’t take it anymore that Kris keeps blocking her every Sunday, okay? That’s why Ruffa and I always fight. I said, ‘Why don’t you fight Kris? Who is she?’ You know, Pia, Kris isn’t doing Ruffa any good, huh. Noynoy [Aquino, Kris’s brother] hasn’t even won the presidency yet, huh, how he’s already bragging! What more if Noynoy wins? Oh, all the artists are pathetic, especially the young ones who are just starting out. It won’t be long. He blocks Ruffa every Sunday. What, is he jealous of Ruffa?”

Pia asked Annabelle what she thought was the reason why Kris was “blocking” Ruffa.

“He must be jealous of Ruffa! He’s jealous of Ruffa!” Annabelle replied. “That’s why I’m calling on the people, don’t vote for Noynoy because Noynoy hasn’t even won yet, Kris is so arrogant. You thought he owned showbiz!”

Is it true that Ruffa cried in a restaurant in Tomas Morato?

“Ruffa cried. Earlier in the dressing room. I said, ‘Get out of The Buzz,’ I told her. That’s mean, man! She wants to work! Ruffa, I understand you working at The Buzz. But if Kris insults you, that’s not right! And you’re not fighting! Why is that? Why did you let him insult you there?’”

Pia asked Annabelle what Kris and Ruffa were talking about at The Buzz before Ruffa walked out.

“You know, Pia, Kris doesn’t care if Ruffa leaves. I’m sure she’ll be really happy. But I, I just told Cory [Vidanes, ABS-CBN TV head], Charo [Santos-Concio, ABS-CBN president], and then Linggit Tan [Entertainment Production Head] that I would pull Ruffa out. I didn’t tell them what the reason was. But now, for what he did to Ruffa, I have to tell the people: That’s why I pulled Ruffa out of The Buzz, first of all, Kris’s blocking of her, I can’t take it anymore.

“I, I’m a mother, Pia. I, my heart bleeds when Ruffa cries at home. When Ruffa comes home, she just cries at me. They say, ‘Mom, Kris is blocking me again.’ I’m the one who’s fighting her. I said, ‘Why aren’t you fighting, Ruffa? Why aren’t you fighting that Kris Aquino? Who is she?’ Her sister hasn’t even won yet, he’s already bragging. What more if Noynoy wins, let alone all the showbiz people he’s bullying? That’s not right, Pia!

“You’re kidding, he [Kris] is hiring Ruffa to sing for Noynoy for free, I agree! I don’t have a commission either, I agree! She should be with Ruffa, there’s no more pay for Ruffa’s campaign, huh! He’ll bully her even more!” Annabelle continued.

Was it Annabelle herself who told Ruffa to leave the set of The Buzz?

“I told her to leave! Because Ruffa wants to work. ‘No! Get out of there right now! Kris Aquino will bully you again! Don’t!’”

Finally, Annabelle gave a message for Ruffa.

“I know you’re a workaholic. I know that. When you’re working, you’re like that with your friends, you’re not right anymore. I was right to send you away from there. It’s good that you listened to your mother. At least, you’re leaving. On the other station [TV5], there’s peace of mind. No one is jealous of her there. No one will bother her there. So, it’s okay that she won’t be back on The Buzz.”

As far as PEP knows, Ruffa was supposed to be on The Buzz until March 21. But because of what happened, it seems like yesterday was her last appearance on the show.

One of the programs that Ruffa will be doing on TV5 is the showbiz-oriented talk show Paparazzi, with Cristy Fermin and DJ Mo Twister. Its timeslot will be the same as ABS-CBN’s The Buzz and GMA-7’s Showbiz Central.

PEP also learned that ABS-CBN is now eyeing TV5, and the giant network (ABS-CBN) has no intention of giving any show or even guesting any of its artists who will have a show on the new network (TV5), even though the latter is offering non-exclusive contracts to the artists.

EXCHANGE OF TEXT MESSAGES. It’s only been a few hours since the incident on The Buzz and Showbiz Central, text messages have been flying from both camps.

Allegedly from Ruffa Gutierrez’s camp, this is the text message that PEP editor-in-chief Jo-Ann Maglipon received: “Kris Aquino is really rude, Ruffa can’t handle it anymore, he’s walked out now. He’s so abusive that even before he won, his brother is super arrogant. He’s really ugly and has low ratings [if] we stay away from each other. He’s making me sick. Thanks.”

It’s unclear whether Ruffa knew, or had Ruffa’s permission, to send this text message.

This is what Ms. Maglipon received from Kris Aquino’s camp: “Ruffa Gutierrez found a reason to cover up her shameless act on ABS-CBN! She and her mother Annabelle Rama are gimmicking at Kris’ and ABS-CBN’s expense! Her contract with ABS-CBN is not over yet, she is set to sign with Channel 5. She did a great disrespect to ABS-CBN! She switched to Villar because Noynoy’s camp could not give her any of her money! She didn’t even have the decency to inform Kris if she considered him a friend. All this is just money! Stop using ABS-CBN for your gimmick, Ruffa! Just show your gratitude to the station that revived your career! And stop using the network to beg for mercy. We know how tough your family is! Especially Annabelle Rama! Stop trying to clean up! Filipinos are not stupid!”

It is unclear whether Kris knew, or had Kris’ permission, to send this text message.
