Ivana Alawi purposely snubbed Jameson Blake during the grand mediacon for Love Is Never Gone and it was for a good reason.

Alawi complained to an online vlogger that Blake was ungentlemanly and his behavior is something she didn’t expect.

There was one scene in the series where Blake was to throw Alawi to the bed in a fit of fury.  It took several takes before Blake was able to perfect the scene.

Alawi said she was hurt in one take as her spine hit the edge of the bed, causing her immense pain.  The severity of the pain was so bad that she was hospitalized and had to undergo therapy for three months, resulting in canceled bookings.

All that Alawi was expecting from Blake was an apology, which did not come. Acting as the go between, Sam Milby invited Blake to meet Alawi to apologize but the actor declined, saying he lives in Pampanga.
