SINGER Morissette Amon is in hot water after supposedly “walking out” of a recent concert.
The 23-year-old was among guest performers in Kiel Alo’s “Ako Naman” birthday concert last Nov. 6.
She wasn’t able to perform due to a “medical emergency,” as per her manager David Cosico.
But in an interview, concert producer Jobert Sucaldito explained, “I came personally to (see) Morissette and asked if she could join Kiel (in the interview with ABS-CBN’s Mario Dumaual)…nasingit ata ni Mario ang tungkol sa love life (ni Morissette). Well, alam naman natin na may pinagdadaanan siya pero in fairness kay Mario, hindi siya bastos.”
Jobert recalled that few moments after the interview, he heard a “noise” coming from Morissette’s dressing room.
“I saw Morissette, inuuntog ang ulo niya sa dingding,” he claimed. “Na-shock ako eh but I don’t want to interfere kasi baka personal problem nga.”
The singer’s manager later on approached him and said Morissette cannot sing because “she was so devastated” and “she felt she was attacked by the media.”
“I tried to be in control but I was very affected of what happened,” said Jobert. “Producer ako eh. Ayaw kong sabihin na ginamit ko lang ang pangalan ni Morissete para kumita ako tapos hindi naman pala magpe-perform.”
Jobert said he is well aware that artists sometimes go through rough patch in their lives, however, he reiterated, “Lahat tayo may pinagdadaanan. ‘Yung iba nga namatayan na, nagso-show pa rin kasi may commitment ka eh. It happens to every artist. Lahat dumadaan sa problema.”
Jobert lamented: “Morissette is my baby. Mahal ko ‘yung bata na yan. But you’re an artist. You should know your priorities. Kung ayaw mo, leave this business!” (REGS PARUNGAO)
