SHOCKING REVEAL: Rikki Mae Davao Breaks Down in Tears — Exposes the People Who Destroyed Ricky Davao’s Life!

In an emotionally charged and revealing interview that has since gone viral, Rikki Mae Davao, daughter of the late iconic actor Ricky Davao, publicly broke her silence, calling out the individuals she believes played a direct role in her father’s heartbreak, professional setbacks, and emotional decline.

Her explosive statements, made during a one-on-one sit-down with journalist Karen Davila, shed light on years of behind-the-scenes betrayal that Ricky Davao allegedly endured in silence — and which, according to Rikki Mae, “deeply affected his spirit, long before illness took his body.”

💔 “They didn’t just turn their backs on him — they pushed him to the edge.”

Rikki Mae spoke with a trembling voice and tearful eyes as she recounted moments of despair, betrayal, and manipulation that her father endured — particularly during the last decade of his life, when his career seemed to slow down despite his enduring talent.

“He never wanted to speak badly of anyone,” she said, “but I will. Because what they did to him was cruel.”

❗ THE NAMES SHE NAMED — AND WHY:

1. Lolit Solis — Veteran Showbiz Columnist

According to Rikki Mae, columnist Lolit Solis was one of the people who caused “irreparable damage” to Ricky’s public image.

“She spread blind items about my dad — calling him unprofessional, washed-up, and difficult — even when he was quietly going through health issues and creative frustrations. Those stories killed offers before they even reached him.”

Rikki said that Ricky Davao once cried after reading a column that subtly alluded to him as “a has-been clinging to relevance.” He never confronted Lolit — choosing instead to stay silent, but it wounded him deeply.

2. Carla Sta. Maria — TV Executive, Former ABS-CBN Drama Unit Head

Rikki Mae accused Carla Sta. Maria of allegedly blacklisting her father after he insisted on creative revisions for a teleserye project in 2020.

“She called him ‘difficult’ in meetings — just for standing his ground. After that, he never got another call from that network. None. My father lived for his craft, and she shut the door on him.”

3. Direk Nestor Ramos — Indie Film Director and Former Close Friend

Perhaps the most painful betrayal, Rikki said, came from someone Ricky Davao once treated like family: director Nestor Ramos.

“My dad shared a concept with him — a historical film idea he developed for years. Nestor took it, pitched it, and got it greenlit under his own name. The film was praised, but it broke my dad. He never recovered from that betrayal.”

Rikki claimed they had written drafts, email receipts, and even a concept deck dated long before Ramos publicly presented the film, but her father refused to pursue legal action.

“He told me, ‘It’s not worth fighting. I just want peace.’ But I’m telling it now — because he deserves justice.”

🕯️ A Man Silenced by Pride, Now Defended by His Daughter

Ricky Davao, known for being private and dignified, chose to remain silent throughout these alleged betrayals. But Rikki Mae said his silence came at a heavy price — robbing him of both career opportunities and emotional strength in his final years.

“He wasn’t just sick physically. He was tired. Tired of being betrayed by the very industry he gave his life to.”

🔥 Public Reaction: Industry Divided

Following the airing of the interview, social media exploded with a mix of support, outrage, and renewed admiration for the late actor. Hashtags like #JusticeForRickyDavao, #WeBelieveRikkiMae, and #ExposeTheToxicIndustry began trending.

Prominent figures like Cherry Pie Picache, John Arcilla, and Iza Calzado expressed solidarity with Rikki, calling for accountability and compassion within the entertainment world.

Neither Lolit Solis, Carla Sta. Maria, nor Direk Nestor Ramos have responded to the accusations at this time.

✨ Rikki Mae’s Final Words:

“I’m not doing this to ruin reputations. I’m doing this because no one else would. My dad deserved better. And if this helps even one artist speak up, then his pain won’t have been in vain.”

📌 The Truth Hurts — But Silence Hurts More

Rikki Mae Davao’s shocking confession is more than a family’s emotional outpouring — it’s a mirror held up to the dark underbelly of the entertainment industry, where even legends like Ricky Davao are not immune to betrayal.
