Ahron Villena has called out an unnamed director who allegedly exploited him back when he was a young actor new to the showbiz industry.

On Instagram Stories, the actor recalled his experience when he had a cameo role that required him to wear a plaster for his private part.

"May tumutulong na sa akin sa production pero pumasok ka sa CR at pinaalis mo siya. Ang sabi mo pa, 'Dapat hindi ka magpapalagay sa kanila ako na dapat maglalagay nyan,'" he said. "Wala naming problema sa 'kin pero ilang beses mong tinatamaan at dinidkit 'yung kamay mo."

"Dahil baguhan pa lang ako noon oo lang ako ng oo kasi kelangan ko din kumita ng pera pero malamang hindi mo na maalala kasi sigurado ako hindi lang ako ang ginawa mo ng ganun," he added.

Ahron said he respects the director as a human being and a filmmaker due to his skills, so he did not reveal his name when he first spoke about what happened during his guesting on "Fast Talk With Boy Abunda" back in March.

The actor said he did not disclose his identity, even to staff who asked him about it.

However, he still condemned what the director did to him.

"Kahit noon or ngayon never naman magiging tama 'yung gawaing ganun. Kung totoo man or hindi hindi mo dapat i-tolerate 'yung mga ganung bagay!" Ahron said.
