Marian Rivera denies a long-circulating showbiz rumor that she locked a fellow actress inside a restroom or similar room. In interviews, she says the alleged incident never happened, responding directly to questions about whether the “padlock” story was real.

Rivera addresses the matter publicly during her guest appearance on “Gandang Gabi Vice,” where host Vice Ganda asks her to confirm the claim. She also acknowledges a past tiff with another actress but says they reconciled privately well before discussing the issue in public, while maintaining that there was no actual “padlock” incident.

Across outlets, the main focus is the same: Rivera’s denial and her clarification that any earlier disagreement did not involve the alleged act. The framing differs mainly in wording—some titles emphasize setting the record straight—while the underlying account remains consistent.
