BB Gandanghari (left) explains her sexuality to Zoren Legaspi (right) in a taped interview aired on a showbiz talk show on June 2, 2012. In the interview, BB revealed there were three people she wanted to "come out" to. Her mother, the family, and former wife Carmina Villarroel, who is the current partner of Zoren. In reality, BB was only able to speak to Carmina.

Sa pangalawang bugso ng istorya ng Paparazzi Showbiz Exposed ng TV5, ipinakita na nga ang pagdating ni BB Gandanghari sa location ng nakatakda niyang panayam kay Zoren Legaspi. Naganap ang kanilang panayam sa Napa Bar & Restaurant along Scout Borromeo sa Quezon City noong May 30, 2012.

May inihandang bouquet of flowers ang show para kay BB. Ayon sa isang insider ay pinagdiskusyunan ni Zoren at ng staff kung sa huli ba ng interview ito ibigay o mismo sa kanilang pagkikita.

Pero nanaig daw ang nais ni Zoren na ibigay ang bulaklak kay BB bago pa man ang kanilang interview dahil gusto daw niya na makapalagayang loob na niya ang kontrobersiyal na si BB Gandanghari, ang bagong katauhan ng namayapang si Rustom Padilla (ayon mismo kay BB).

Sinimulan ni Zoren ang kanyang interview, “Good afternoon mga Kapatid! I don’t know where to start, matagal nang hinintay 'to, pero urong-sulong ang communication kung magaganap ba o hindi.

"Pero ngayon, believe it or not it’s going to happen… and I’m here right now with Madame BB Gandanghari.”

Simpleng "Hello" lang ang naging tugon ni BB sa mahabang introduction ni Zoren, kaya naman nag-follow up question agad si Zoren: “Is that correct? OK lang ba sayong tawagin kitang Madame BB Gandanghari?”

Na sinagot naman ni BB ng, “Pwede bang BB lang?” sabay nagkatawanan na ang dalawa.

Dagdag pa ni Zoren, “Kasi, unang-una, hindi ko alam kung anong sasabihin ko. Papaano ko ba... how do I [address] her?”

Pero para kay BB, “No thank you, but yeah, BB is fine.”

Sabi naman ni Zoren, “This is really the first time na magkikita tayo.”

Pagsang-ayon naman ni BB, “Tama! Tama! Actually, tinanong ako kanina dun sa pre-interview. Sabi ko 'Hindi pa kami nagkita. He has never met Rustom and I guess he's gonna be meeting BB,' so yeah.”

Medyo palagay na nga ang dalawa sa kanilang paghaharap kaya nagsimula nang magtanong si Zoren.

NO RESENTMENTS. “...Nanay Cristy [Fermin] asked me, 'Kung iinterbyuhin mo si BB Gandanghari, ano yung unang itatanong mo sa kanya?'

"Out of nowhere I said, 'I want to know kung meron siyang sama ng loob sa akin or hinanakit.' Or something... na hindi mo pa nasasabi sa akin.”

Mabilis naming sinagot ni BB si Zoren ng, “Honestly wala, kasi sa totoo lang, wala ka naman talagang kinalaman dun sa kung ano man yung nangyari sa past ni Carmina at ni Rustom."

    All i can say is WOW!! One of the best interviews ever. Walang intrigahan, just full of respect for each other. I didn't know that Zoren can handle an interview like this. The subject itself is very delicate and to think he is connected to the person that BB was connected with before. I wish all interviews will be like this. Respect for each other as human beings and respect to a person's preferences, past, present, and future. Keep up the good work Zoren. Good luck to BB. The more people will respect Carmina now. She is a real good person from the beginning. She never, ever talk about anything. She is very trustworthy of secrets - not only rustom's secrets but secrets of her friends as well. Same thing with Gellie de Belen, that is why Gellie and Carmina are the best of friends. They know how to respect people and know how to keep secrets. More power to these people

    Applause to carmina never nyang sinabi ang totoong pag katao ni BB. Yan ang tunay na tao marunong rumispito sa kapwa. I am sure masakit siguro na malaman mo na bakla ang asawa mo. Pero dahil narin sa respito nagawa ni carmina na hindi mag salita.

    it was still vivid in my mind that i truly admired and got a crush on rustom before when he and carmina were lovers and became husband and wife. i found rustom the most handsome among the padilla siblings. i was shocked when he came out in the open as gay. but i still admire him for doing it and for being true to himself. i just wish him, including zoren and carmina the best in everything. nevertheless, i'm looking forward to see bebe being interviewed by carmina in the future to see both their reactions. i believe this is a good start of a happy relationship as friends.

    One of the FEW best interviews i've seen on tv.. Good job Zoren and BB. it was indeed heartwarming, if only people are as open minded as these two, the world would be a better place.. Zoren and Carmina you should invite BB for a family bbque, that should be fun and share your pictures with us.
