BIG CONFLICT! Willie Revillame, Are All Co-Hosts Being Removed from ‘Wowowin’? Shrimp Girl and Donita Nose, Affected Raw!

A controversy that has shaken the television world is currently spreading regarding Willie Revillame’s alleged sudden dismissal of some of his longtime co-hosts on the popular variety show “Wowowin.” According to reports, among those affected are Herlene “Hipon Girl” Budol and Donita Nose — two of the program’s most beloved fans.

Sudden Change Behind the Camera

According to several reliable sources within the production, the decision allegedly came suddenly and without formal notice, in the midst of preparations for the “Wowoween” special. It surprised not only the viewers, but also the co-hosts themselves who were allegedly not properly informed of the development.

It is said that there has been tension behind the camera for some time, with floating issues of disagreement over the show’s creative direction, alleged salary disputes, and some personal feuds that have caused friction among the team.

Not Escaped from the Public Eye

The absence of Hipon Girl and Donita Nose from previous episodes of the show was quickly noticed by viewers. Reactions poured in on social media:

“The show is empty without Hipon Girl. She brings a different energy!”

“Donita Nose is one of the reasons why I watch Wowowin. Why does it seem like she’s just been abandoned?”

What Really Happened?

According to an insider, Willie seems to be getting annoyed with some of his co-hosts who are said to be losing focus during the taping. There are times when some of them seem not to be serious about their work, and there are even misunderstandings while he is speaking onstage. An incident was mentioned where he noticed Verna and Sugar Mercado whispering while he was giving a monologue — which allegedly became the trigger for his annoyance.

The next day, the co-hosts were no longer on set. According to the report, Willie did the next tapings solo, which seems to indicate a change in the program’s format.

Is There Something Everyone Doesn’t Understand?

But in an interview with PEP.ph, Donita Nose immediately denied the news. According to her, it is not true that Willie fired all of them. She explained that there was only a “special edition” of the show intended as a tribute to the soldiers of Marawi, so Willie wanted to be the only one to appear on camera.

“Actually, we’re just on vacation. We don’t have any tapings because Undas is approaching, and Kuya has plans to go to Macau,” said Donita.

He also denied the issue that he is often absent due to rackets abroad. He said that he only leaves when his schedule does not conflict with the show.

Herlene Budol’s Strange Silence

Hipon Girl also did not speak directly regarding the issue, but she posted a meaningful message on Instagram:

“Sometimes, the people who gave you your biggest break also teach you your hardest lessons. I’m grateful, still.”

Because of this, speculation has intensified that his departure was not voluntary — but forced.

Will Chemistry really end in ‘Wowowin’?

If it is true that Donita, Hipon Girl, and other regular co-hosts are no longer here, it will definitely be a big change in the show’s direction. “Wowowin” is known not only for its awards, but also for Willie’s mischievous and entertaining interactions with his colleagues.

But if some of his most trusted sidekicks are gone, will the public be ready for the new face of Wowowin?

Final Thoughts

Showbiz is always full of intrigue and change. But this issue has a different effect on the loyal viewers of “Wowowin.” Until there is an official statement from Willie Revillame, it remains a mystery whether this is just a simple break or a permanent change in one of the country’s longest-running variety shows.

Meanwhile, social media continues to ablaze with the calls #BringBackHiponGirl and #WeWantDonita — proof that in the hearts of the masses, it is not easy to replace co-hosts who have become beloved by the people.
