John Estrada mum on bar spat with Aljon Jimenez

John Estrada and former actor Aljon Jimenez reportedly figured in an altercation last October 2, Tuesday, in a comedy bar located in Quezon City. The reason behind the alleged spat remains vague. A source told Showbiz Central that the argument started when Aljon tapped John upon seeing the latter inside the bar. John might have misinterpreted the gesture and thought of it as an aggressive act. The two allegedly taunted each other, with one of the parties throwing an invitation for a fistfight. After the heated argument Aljon along with friends purportedly waited for John outside the bar, suggesting a bigger brawl in the offing. It was rumored that John only managed to get out of the bar when fellow actor and good friend Richard Gomez came to the scene and escorted John out of the premise. In an exclusive footage shown by Showbiz Central on Oct 7, Richard was seen accompanying John all the way to his waiting vehicle. The group of Aljon had reportedly left when Richard arrived. AN AXE TO GRIND? According to the source also, Aljon has been harboring ill feelings towards John when he discovered years ago that the controversial actor was courting his then girlfriend and now wife Manilyn Reynes despite the fact that John was fully aware of their relationship. Another version of the incident came up in a radio program, this time saying that the entire incident transpired when John allegedly made a snide remark towards Aljon, consequently eliciting a hostile reaction from the That's Entertainment alumnus. NO COMMENT. Showbiz Central immediately tried to get the side of both parties to gain a clearer picture of the reported misunderstanding. "Sino ‘yon?" laughed John when the name of Aljon was brought up. "Wala, ngayon ko lang narinig 'yan. Aljon Jimenez? Wala... hindi 'yon, iba ‘yon. Hindi totoo 'yon. Wala, bakit naman? Paano mangyayari 'yon?" John added while trying his best to evade further questioning from the crew hounding him. Aljon and his wife, Manilyn Reynes, on the other hand, also opted not to say anything about the issue. - Philippine Entertainment Portal
