Bukod sa statement ni Karylle na may ex-boyfriend siyang nanloko dati, isang issue pa ang binigyang linaw ng Kapuso Primetime King na si Dingdong Dantes. Ito naman ang patungkol sa pagkakatanggal niya bilang lead actor ng pelikulang Ponzi, at si John Lloyd Cruz na umano ang ipinalit sa kanya.
Hindi lamang bida kundi posibleng maging co-producer din dapat ang AgostoDos Pictures ni Dong ng nasabing pelikula na ididirek ni Erik Matti, ang direktor din ng Tiktik at Kubot movies ni Dong. Isa rin sa co-producers ng Ponzi ang GMA Films.
Sa ginanap na press conference ng upcoming teleserye ni Dong na Pari 'Koy, tila nahirapan ang award-winning actor na sagutin ang mga tanong ng press.
"Puwede bang bigyan niyo muna ako ng buwelo?" biro niya.
Kalaunan ay inihayag na rin niya ang kanyang saloobin tungkol sa issue.
"Let's put it this way. Kung anuman 'yun, it will not hinder me from wanting to make, do, and produce the films that I love to do, and the projects that I love to do. It's very unfortunate that it happened, but I'm fortunate that I found out, right now, the people whom I should be really dealing with."
According to Dong, if there was anything positive brought about by this incident, ito ay ang pag-concentrate niya sa Pari 'Koy.
"Para sa akin, I'm more motivated and I feel very blessed with this project. Sometimes you just have to let God dictate kung what is right and proper for you. It's good to plan sometimes, create the framework, make it, but it's also sometimes better if you make Him lead you because definitely He will lead you to the proper direction. And I feel that this unfortunate incident led me to this, and I'm very happy where I am right now, and there are better things to do. Let us all move on, and God bless you all."
When asked if he is willing to work again with the people involved, Dong refused to comment.
