The hidden scandal behind the gentle image of the Philippines’ top beauty
Marian Rivera was born in 1984 and is of Spanish and Filipino descent. After her parents divorced, she followed her mother to her mother’s hometown in the Philippines to live and develop her career. Her lovely face and sweet mixed-race beauty paved the way for her to enter the entertainment industry since 2005.

Despite not having attended any acting training, Marian has still successfully captured the hearts of the audience with her natural and natural acting style. Not only has she affirmed her talent through blockbuster movies, but the 8X beauty has also been hailed by the Filipino people as a symbol of perfect beauty and the title of “most beautiful woman in the Philippines” has long been associated with her name.
However, because she became a “national treasure” and was given so much attention by the media and the public, Marian had to get used to a life of excessive scrutiny. Despite her efforts to maintain her image as a goddess, Marian could not avoid incidents and false rumors that were intended to damage her reputation.
The biggest scandal that has affected Marian’s career the most is the incident of her breasts being exposed during a children’s show in October 2016. While the beauty was dancing enthusiastically on stage, her outfit suddenly betrayed her, exposing her breasts to a large audience and many media cameras below. Marian then quickly turned back inside and adjusted her outfit.

After the performance, Marian apologized, claiming that this was an unforgettable accident and promised to never do it again. But this action of the beauty could not appease public opinion. Many people, mostly parents, rushed to attack the “first beauty of the Philippines” for her lack of care in choosing her outfit, especially in a program for young children. Taking advantage of the unfavorable situation for Marian, anti-fans competed to “dig up” past images of the actress to make a topic of discussion.

This is not the first time Marian has been involved in a scandal. There was a time when the Philippine public was in an uproar when the press published images that were said to be cut from a sensitive chat of the beauty, along with many criticisms of her loose lifestyle. It was not until people proved that the photo was a product of photoshop that the public began to forgive Marian, but the damage to her reputation during that time could not be compensated.
Because they could not find any flaws in Marian’s talent or beauty, people started to criticize her attitude. After a series of news reports “accusing” the beauty of being grumpy with her staff and a clip recording her arguing with an elderly person was posted online, people started to talk about her with harsh words such as arrogant, two-faced, and a worthless woman…
In the face of storms, Marian still remains calm. Although she does not understand why people always have animosity towards her, the beauty does not care too much about negative things and focuses on improving herself and doing her job well. Perhaps Marian’s gentleness when facing rumors and her attitude of respecting the audience and knowing how to correct her mistakes means that no matter how big those scandals are, they do not damage her reputation much. The proof is that now, at the age of 34, Marian still holds the title of “the most beautiful woman in the Philippines”, with a stable career and a happy marriage that makes everyone jealous.
No matter how brilliant the title of “first beauty” is, it cannot compare to peace with husband and children.
Marian and Dingdong Dantes fell in love when they co-starred in Wild Dance in 2007. They became the most beloved couple in the entertainment industry right after they made their relationship public. In 2014, Dingdong brought his fairytale love story to a happy ending with a sweet proposal on Marian’s TV show.
