Actor Mark Anthony Fernandez is facing significant career consequences after his sex video surfaced online.

Recently, Fernandez became a trending topic on X (formerly Twitter) when a video featuring him and a woman went viral, generating widespread discussion. Talent manager Ogie Diaz, in his latest ‘Showbiz Update’ episode, revealed that the scandal has severely impacted Fernandez’s professional life.

According to Diaz, Fernandez’s phone was hacked, leading to the leak of his private files, including the scandalous video.

Diaz confirmed the identity of the man in the video, saying, “Siya. Siya. Ang laki e,” with a laugh.

Diaz further disclosed that he had watched the video and noted its serious consequences. “Mukhang malaki ang naging epekto nito sa kanya, ‘yung eskandalo na lumabas. Ito na nga, bigla na lang siyang tinanggal [sa isang proyekto],” he explained.

Fernandez was reportedly removed from the series ‘Rain in España,’ which stars Marco Gallo and Heaven Peralejo and is produced by Viva. Dominic Ochoa is said to have taken over his role.

“Nakakaloka. Ang sinabi lang na rason ay dahil raw sa lumabas… Nakaapekto [ang video sa career niya],” Diaz shared. He acknowledged the unfortunate circumstances but advised caution moving forward, “Siyempre hindi rin natin masisisi si Mark kung talagang compilation niya lang ‘yun kaya lang lumabas. Payo niya, sa susunod ay iwasan na lang ang pag-video at mag-ingat.”

Fernandez’s removal from the series highlights the serious impact personal scandals can have on a public figure’s career.
