Maxie Andreison Issues Public Apology Following Viral Altercation Footage

Drag Race Philippines Season 3 winner Maxie Andreison has issued a public apology following intense online backlash over a resurfaced 2023 video showing her physically assaulting an individual.

The viral footage, which began circulating heavily on June 28, 2026, sparked widespread outrage, resulting in a public statement from the drag artist and mounting calls for her removal from an upcoming musical production.

The Resurfaced Altercation

The viral video clip, filmed approximately three years ago during a performance event in Cabanatuan City, shows Andreison (born Jayvhot Andreison Galang) and an associate in a violent physical altercation with a fan. In the footage, Andreison's companion slaps the individual before the drag queen delivers a slap and a heavy kick.

Reports circulating within online communities outline the events leading up to the violence:

The Trigger: An intoxicated transgender fan allegedly pulled on Andreison's glued-down wig while attempting to take a photo after a performance, crossing physical boundaries.

Mistaken Identity: Accounts claim Andreison and her team initially confronted and physically restrained an innocent bystander who had stepped forward to apologize on behalf of the intoxicated fan.

The Escalation: Once the actual individual responsible came forward to apologize, the confrontation turned violent, resulting in the physical assault captured in the viral video.

Andreison Responds with Public Apology

Addressing the issue during an emotional social media livestream, Andreison took responsibility for her actions and expressed deep remorse.

"Sana lang three years ago mas na-handle ko 'yung sitwasyon nang mas matalino at mas kalmado."(I wish that three years ago, I handled the situation more wisely and calmly,) Andreison said in Tagalog. "Hindi kasi tama talaga na manakit. Hindi siya tama kahit saang aspeto." (Hurting someone is never right, no matter the aspect. I was completely indefensible at that time.)

While Andreison asserted that the conflict was privately resolved with the parties involved years ago, leaked community messages from individuals claiming to be the victims have surfaced online, fiercely disputing her claim of reconciliation and stating no one has contacted them.

Threat to Upcoming Stage Career

The timing of the resurfaced video is highly critical for the performer. Netizens and LGBTQIA+ advocates have launched online campaigns tagging production executives at The IdeaFirst Company and director Jun Robles Lana.

Critics argue that "representation must come with accountability," demanding that Andreison be dropped from her alternating lead role as Trisha Echavarria in the upcoming stage production of Die Beautiful: The Musical. As of June 30, 2026, the production company has not released an official response regarding her casting status.
