Content creator and entrepreneur Dani Barretto apologized to friend Alex Gonzaga after uploading the controversial video where the actress smeared icing on a waiter's face during her birthday celebration.

Barretto immediately contacted the actress as the video circulated online.

"Alam naman iyon ni Alex, kasi sa kaniya talaga ako unang nag-reach out. Wala akong ibang kinausap, wala akong ibang ginawa. I reached out to her first and apologized to her first," she said in an interview.

She regrets sharing the video on social media as their family has a good relationship with the Gonzagas, particularly with Alex.

"Of course I do have regrets kasi nakasakit ako ng tao. Siyempre, wala sa intensyon kong makasakit lalo na on her birthday," Barretto said.

"Siguro, iyon 'yung pinaka mabigat para sa akin, na nakasimula ako ng isang bagay na hindi ko naman ginusto. Kasi very important sa pamilya namin 'yung mga Gonzaga. They're very loving to our family. Alex is a very good friend of my sister. So, talagang mahal na mahal ng pamilya namin ang mga Gonzaga, and vice versa," she added.

This was the first time the content creator spoke about the issue as she wanted everyone to move on and forget the controversy.

"Kaya hindi ako nagsasalita, kasi ayoko na talaga siyang palakihin,. Move on narin tayo sa isyu na 'to," she said.

Dani also confirmed to be on good terms with Alex after the incident.
