There’s no question that one of the perks of being a celebrity is the privilege of Ex-deals or freebies. Ex-Deal or Exchange Deal is a business transaction wherein instead of paying cash, you pay through service or product in exchange. Being very convenient, the practice is often abused by some celebrities – one of whom is the subject of this story.

Her label is that of a Freeloading Queen FQ, yes, the tag has been with her for years. Industry Professionals IP or product sponsors who have dealt with her cringed at FQ’ shamelessness to ask for excessive and undeserved freebies every time. To tap it all, IP’s remark that FQ is not even that popular to begin with.

FQ promotes her sponsors for free through mediums that she has access of. In exchange, the tightwad FQ utilizes her sponsors to the hilt, often going beyond what she rightfully deserves. There were reports that one of the reasons why she was booted out of a show which she co-hosted was because she was using massive airtime of the show to promote/endorse her sponsors.

FQ really loves her sponsors’ freebies, even unethically extending it to her family when celebrating family events and other personal occasions. Reportedly, she also makes friendship with moneyed celebrities for a reason, again in the form of freebies and everything material. A source witnessed how FQ allegedly asked for (or “nanghingi” ) several pairs of ‘used’ branded shoes and bags from a generous doctor. Such a cheapskate!

Lately, heard from the grapevine that the Senior Hairstylist SH of a popular salon are now avoiding FQ like a plague. Reportedly, the SH are pissed that for years that they have been servicing FQ’s hair needs, she has never for once, given them anything, not even a small tip! What puzzles them is that the service given her is free all the way, FQ abuses it further by availing of massage service for free which is no longer covered by the sponsorship. And yet, she’s too stingy to give back.

Now that they are up in arms, HS look the other way and pretend to be busy whenever FQ is around the salon. Collectively, they say that they prefer having coffee breaks than servicing FQ the Scrooge.
