Pinaniniwalaang may kinalaman ang social media post ni Dennis Trillo noong Huwebes, Oktubre 1, 2026, sa opisyal na pahayag na inilabas ng pamunuan ng Star Magic.
Ang Star Magic ang talent management arm ng ABS-CBN na namamahala sa showbiz career ni Michelle Garcia, ang menor de edad na anak ni Patrick Garcia na nadamay sa mga matitinding batikos sa kanyang ama.
“Simula bukas, tigil na po ang bashing ok? Magmahalan na tayo ulit, past is past, magpapasko na at kawawa na ang mga bata,” social media post ni Dennis.
STAR MAGIC STATEMENT ON MICHELLE GARCIA BASHING
Ibinahagi ito ni Dennis ilang oras matapos ilabas ng Star Magic ang paalala nitong menor de edad si Michelle at ang babalang handa silang maghain ng kaso bilang proteksiyon sa kanilang talent.
Nakasaad sa statement: “Star Magic is deeply concerned about the hurtful comments directed at our artist Michelle Garcia, who is only 13 years old.
“We ask the public to refrain from involving Michelle in matters concerning adults, that happened before she was born.
“We are prepared to take appropriate action against those who continue to harass Michelle, in accordance with laws protecting children from abuse and libel.”
Ngayong Biyernes ng umaga, Oktubre 2, 2026, muling naglabas ng saloobin si Dennis sa social media.
Mensahe niya, “Good morning! Seryoso muna tayo today…taping muna ako ng HARI NG TONDO! Of course, No Bashing, it’s for fun.”
Ang Hari ng Tondo ang upcoming Kapuso primetime series na pinagbibidahan nina Dennis at Ruru Madrid.

DENNIS TRILLO'S OLD INTERVIEW RESURFACES
Pero hindi lamang ang pamilya ni Patrick ang nakararanas ng mga pagpuna dahil hindi rin nakaligtas si Dennis ng mga tagasuporta ni Patrick.

Pero makalipas ang ilang buwan, inamin ng aktor sa interbyu ng defunct showbiz-oriented talk show na Showbiz Central noong Setyembre 2007 na siya ang ama ng anak ng dating beauty-queen actress.
Isinilang ni Carlene ang kanilang anak na si Calix sa Amerika.
Ipinaliwanag ni Dennis sa naturang panayam na pinabulaanan niyang siya ang ama ng ipinagbubuntis ni Carlene dahil sa kanilang kasunduan.
Saad noon ni Dennis: “Nung bago pa umalis si Carlene, meron kaming kasunduan nag-usap kami at nag-request siya sa akin na gusto niyang manahimik.
"As much as possible, ayaw niyang mabanggit yung pangalan niya sa kahit anong interview.
"Kaya yun ang mga ginagawa ko kapag ini-interview ako bilang respect dahil nagpunta siya sa Amerika para manahimik, di ba?
“Nung nagkita sila ni Kuya Lhar Santiago sa States, nakitang buntis nga siya, itinanggi niyang ako yung ama.
"Siyempre akala ko tapos na dun yung issue, until lumabas yung balita na buntis nga siya and ako yung ama.”
Ngunit matiwasay na nalampasan nina Dennis at Carlene ang kanilang isyu, at ngayon ay maayos ang relasyon ng dramatic actor sa anak niyang si Calix.
