Ruffa Gutierrez walked out of The Buzz earlier and co-host Kris Aquino is being blamed for what happened.
On the show's POV segment, Kris said something about Ruffa's imminent transfer to TV5 to which didn't ring that good to Ruffa.
Kris to Ruffa: "Ruffa aminin mo, ibang level ang saya dito."
"Well, I know, you don't have to rub it in Kris. Siyempre, I'm sad din, so...you know, sana 'wag mo naman...you know...dagdagan," the visibly offended Ruffa told Kris.
The other host Boy Abunda just laughed at it but possibly felt the tension and repetitively said, "But we run in circles, we run in circles, we don't say goodbye, we run in circles..."
Kris then said to Boy, "And ano ka ba? We're neighbors."
Before the commercial gap, Ruffa was seen standing up and about to walk out.
The latter indeed walked out and was no longer seen in the show after that.
If you're a pro-Ruffa, you would say that Kris was so tactless, got a bit rude and insensitive. But if you're a pro-Kris, you'd probably say that Ruffa overly reacted, got so emotional and unprofessional. I love both of them and it's really hard to react on this one.

And in just 3 hours, a lot of things have happened after that.
Ruffa's mom Annabelle Rama reportedly has already pulled out Ruffa on The Buzz. That means, it was already Ruffa's last day in the show, when supposedly she still has two more weeks in the show.
Rama had herself interviewed by Pia Guanio on Showbiz Central the same day and was fuming with anger on Kris, even dragging Presidential 2010 candidate Noynoy Aquino to the issue.
"Pinapauwi ko na siya Pia. Alam mo ang reason Pia, bago ko pinull-out diyan si Ruffa sa The Buzz, dahil di ko na ma-ti-take 'yung every Sunday, binabara siya lagi ni Kris. Okay. Kaya lagi kami nag-aaway ni Ruffa, sabi ko ba't di ka lumalaban diyan kay Kris? Sino ba siya? Sabi ko...alam mo...Pia, hindi maganda ginagawa ni Kris kay Ruffa," Annabelle said to Pia.
She made an appeal to the public not to vote for Noynoy because Kris might get more "mayabang" if he wins.
"Hindi pa nga nananalo si Noynoy as Presidente, ang yabang-yabang na niya. What more kaya 'pag mananalo pa si ano...si Noynoy...eh di kawawa ang lahat ng mga artista lalung lalo na ang...maliit pang mga nag-uumpisa pa lang. Hindi maganda ginagawa niya kay Ruffa, every Sunday binabara niya. Ano, nainggit ba siya kay Ruffa?," Annabelle continued.
Pia then asked, "Ano sa tingin mo Tita Annabelle ang dahilan nga ba kung bakit?"
Annabelle answered, "Nainggit siya kay Ruffa siguro. 'Yun lang isang rason diyan, nainggit siya kay Ruffa. Kaya ako nanawagan sa taumbayan, wag nyo nang iboto si Noynoy kasi di pa nga nanalo si Noynoy, ang yabang-yabang na ni Kris. Akala mo siya may-ari ng showbiz."
"Umiyak si Ruffa, kanina pa sa dressing room. Sabi ko, umalis ka na diyan sa The Buzz. Sabi ko sa kanya. Siya kasi makulit eh. Gusto niya magtrabaho. Gusto niya magtrabaho. Ruffa, naiintindihan kita, nagtatrabaho ka sa The Buzz. Pero kung babastusin ka naman ni Kris, hindi naman tama din yun. At hindi ka pa lumalaban. Bat naman ganon? Binabara ka niya lagi, di ka, bat mo siya pinapabayaang alip-alipin ka diyan?"
Pia asked, "Meron po ba silang pinag-usapan prior to Ruffa Gutierrez leaving the set of The Buzz? Ano po ba 'yung pinag-uusapan nila non?"
Annabelle had a lengthy reply on that: "Wala, alam mo Pia, wala naman pakialam din si Kris kung aalis si Ruffa. I'm sure matutuwa naman talaga siguro siya. Pero ako, nagpaalam na ako kay Cory, kay, kay Charo at tsaka kay, kay ano, kay Linggit Tan na ipu-pullout ko na si Ruffa pero I didn't tell them what's the reason. Pero ngayon, sa ginawa niya kay Ruffa, I have to tell the taumbayan...kaya ko pinull-out si Ruffa sa The Buzz...unang-una...pambabara ni Kris sa kanya, hindi ko na ma-take. Ako, nanay ako Pia. Ako, nagdudurugo ang puso ko pag si Ruffa umiyak na sa bahay. Pag uwi ng bahay ni Ruffa, umiyak na yan sa akin. Sabihin 'Ma binabara na naman ako ni Kris'. Siya nga inaaway ko lagi. Bat di ka lumalaban Ruffa? Bat di ka lumalaban sa Kris Aquino na yan? Sino ba sya? Hindi pa nga nanalo kapatid niya, ang yabang-yabang na niya. What more kapag nanalo yan si Noynoy, di lalong, lalo lahat ng buong showbiz api-apihin niya. Hindi naman tama yun Piang ganyan. Biro mo kinukuha niya si Ruffa mangampanya kay Noynoy walang bayad, umoo na ko. Nawalan pa ko ng commission, umoo rin ako. Dapat makisama siya kay Ruffa, na wala na nga bayad ang pagkakampanya ni Ruffa, di pa siya, inaapi-api pa niya.".

Ruffa's brother Raymond also came to the rescue and on his Twitter account, he said something about "powertripping" which obviously refers to Kris. He even mentioned that in Showbiz Central, the hosts have equal respect for each other.
Here are some of his recent Tweets:
"Some people want all the spotlight & can be really tactless. I'm happy that my cohosts here in Central show equal respect for each other."
"When you're trying to get the whole nation to be on your side, don't be a bully."
"take it as a joke if it happens once, but being bullied every week is a different story. how do you spell P-O-W-E-R T-R-I-P-P-I-N-G?"
"I'm all about friendship, ask anyone, but there comes a time when you reach a saturation point, where you need to stand up & speak out."

If you also visit Ruffa's and Kris' Twitter accounts, the two have said something on the issue. And you could really feel the tension between them, just basing on their tweets.
KRIS' TWEETS:
"I invite everybody to review Buzz- my comment was said w/ affection & a sense of fun. Now if they will choose to lambast my brother who wasn't even on the Buzz, makes me wonder what the true agenda is- para siraan si Noy?"
"I'd like to believe Filipino voters r intelligent & will continue supporting Noy because he is the best man for the job."
RUFFA'S TWEETS:
"Sana man lang I was given the chance to say goodbye properly to my colleagues on the Buzz who I've grown to love like family over the last 3yrs. Kung may ayaw sa akin sa the Buzz,may mga may gusto din po sa akin. Sana nabigyan po ako ng chance para magpaalam sa mga nagmamahal din po sa akin. Kahit dalawang piraso pa sila, karapatan ko rin namang magpaalam ng maayos. I'm just trying to do my job..."
"This is not the first time. I'm also very diplomatic n can laugh about anything. Off-cam,the situation was far from pleasant. Yes,registered voters like me will certainly vote wisely. No need to make sira...I AM TEAM NOYNOY! But between now n the May elections many things can still happen. Its what name I will write that will clearly matter in the end. I would like to enjoy my time w/loved ones now. Salamat po."
It's been 5 hours and it already got big. Expect this issue to explode more on the coming days.
Now I want to know, are you Team Ruffa? or Team Kris?
