Lolit Solis and Butch Francisco

“Startalk” hosts Lolit Solis and Butch Francisco fired back at embattled ex-doctor Hayden Kho Jr. over recent issues concerning him.

Butch questioned Hayden’s reported hospitalization as due to “flu.”

“The flu kayo diyan. Baka may ka-flu-flangang iba,” said he.

He added that he does not believe the controversial personality would even try to commit suicide because “he cannot kill himself---he loves himself too much.”

“Dramatic masterpiece, congratulations, such a good actor. Puwede na siyang manalo ng Urian,” he chided.

Meanwhile, Lolit implied that Hayden and Dr. Vicki Belo are still together.

“Maniniwala lang ako na wala silang relasyon 'pag wala na dun sa Pacific Place (which Vicki rents for him) si Hayden,” she said.

A relationship that’s grounded on “emotional blackmail” is difficult to end, Butch mused.

“Laging magiging sila dahil gustuhin mang bumitaw ni Dr. Vicki Belo, laging may emotional blackmail, laging may mananakot na may gagawin ako.”

He also reminded Hayden, who now refuses to be interviewed on “Startalk,” to look back on his career and recall what the show has done for him.

“Ang mensahe ko lang kay Hayden… ang sabi niya magpapa-interview siya kung kani-kanino, puwera lang sa atin.

“Sana naman maalala mo [Hayden], at sana sabihin mo rin sa mga magulang mo na minsan, nung nagigipit ka nung araw, ang ‘Startalk’ at ang mga tao dito ang tumutulong sa’yo, especially si Lolit.

“Huwag na ako, si Lolit [na lang]. Si Lolit ang maraming nagawa sa’yo,” Butch said.

To this, the show’s lone female host added: “Ibibigay daw niya 'yong ratings sa ibang programa. Gusto ko lang i-klaro na siya, hindi rater. Siguro magre-rate lang pag dead na siya.”

Butch dared: “Sige interviewhin niyo [si Hayden], tingnan natin kung makukuha 'yong katotohanan. Kasi dito, sasabihin namin ang katotohanan.”
