Janelle Tee, more popularly known for her screen name KimChi, was a co-host on the late afternoon variety show "Wowowin" with celebrity host Willie Revillame. Around the middle of this year, fans of KimChi took notice of her absence from the show. Only recently did she disclose the true reason why her stint suddenly ended.3
In a recent get-together with her fans and supporters, KimChi opened up about her almost 2-year gig with the show which lasted from September 2015 up to May 2017.
“Actually, before pa ma-suspend si [Super] Tekla, ako po yung nauna. Ang nangyari noon was nagre-rehearse kami para sa mga bagong segments, tapos kumakain na kami ng dinner, tapos dumating si Wil.”
“Sama-sama kaming mga co-host niya, tapos tinanong niya, ‘Sa akin ba itong ulam na ito?’ May ulam kasi sa harap niya, sinigang na baboy yun. E, siyempre marami kami sa table, so I was assuming na kahit sino puwedeng sumagot. Walang sumagot sa kanya, so nagtanong siya ulit, ‘Hoy, sa akin ba ito?’”
“Dahil walang gustong sumagot, ako na yung sumagot, sabi ko, ‘Sa iyo.’”
Because no one answered, she replied in a way that sounded “mataray” to the host. But she didn’t mean it that way, she relayed during her interview with PEP.ph.
“Tapos siguro nung time na yun, baka stressed na si Wil, pagod, parang ang dating sa kanya, maldita raw ako. Sabi niya, ‘Bakit ang taray niyo rito?’ Tapos iyon, nagalit siya, nagalit siya na mataray daw yung pagkasagot ko. And then, iyon, hindi na niya ako pinag-report sa work.”
“Kumbaga sinabihan niya yung EP [executive producer] namin na, 'Sabihan si Kimchi na huwag na muna siyang pumasok.' Iyon ang nangyari.”
After hearing Wil’s instructions, KimChi was devastated and confused with what happened. In fact, she cried for about a week because of it.
“So, umiyak talaga ako. Parang sabi ko, ‘Bakit?’ Parang hindi ko po maintindihan. Parang sa halos dalawang taon ko sa show, hindi naman ako nagbigay ng sakit ng ulo. Hindi ko lang ine-expect na hindi na ako papapasukin.”
“Kasi, siyempre, halos dalawang taon din akong nag-work sa Wowowin, so talagang napamahal na sa akin yung show at mga tao sa show. Kumbaga, three hundred sixty degrees yung buhay ko. Kasi, siyempre, inisip ko na nung sinuspend ako, baka hindi na talaga ako pabalikin sa show."
She tried to make amends with Willie, but the latter have her the cold shoulder.
“Oo, nagpadala pa ako ng prutas. Nagte-text ako sa kanya na, ‘I’m so sorry,’ ganyan. Pero never po siyang nag-reply. Hindi ko po siya pinuntahan personally kasi, baka pag nakita niya ako, baka lalo pa siyang magalit.”
“Kasi nung time na nagalit siya, sabi niya, ‘Pauwiin niyo na sila. Huwag na silang magpaalam. Huwag na muna silang magpakita.’”
In June 2017, the “Wil” of fortune turned and they eventually reconciled.
“Naging okay na naman kami ni Wil noong Father’s Day. Nag-text kasi sa akin si Donita [Nose] na pinapapunta raw ako nung nagdi-dinner sila. Nung pagdating ko doon, hinug ko siya, binati ko siya ng Happy Father’s Day.”
“So, okay na lahat, kumbaga tinatawanan na lang namin ang nangyari, naging joke na lang yung sinigang na baboy. Tapos, tumatawa na rin siya. So, kumbaga, nakaka-relieve na okay na pala.”
The young host has learned to let go. She will always be thankful to Willie for the opportunities he has given her. He need only ask, and KimChi will return to the show in a heartbeat.
“Hindi naman kami nag-usap ng heart to heart. Pero ang importante ngayon sa akin, kahit nawala ako sa Wowowin, okay na kami ni Wil. Wala kaming masamang tinapay o bad blood with each other ni Wil.”
