Lolita "Lolit" A. Solis (born May 20, 1947) is a Filipino talk show host, entertainment news writer, and talent manager.
Personal life
[edit]Solis was born on May 20, 1947, in Manila, Philippines. She grew up in the squatters’ area in Lardizabal, Sampaloc, near National University, where she attended one journalism seminar.[1]
In 2022, Solis was hospitalized.[2] She later shared that she has been regularly undergoing dialysis.[3]
Controversies
[edit]Solis has made several controversial remarks about celebrities.
Solis was involved in the 1994 Manila Film Scandal, wherein co-hosts Rocky Gutierrez and Miss Universe Mauritius Viveka Babajee announced the names of Solis’ then-talent Gabby Concepcion and beauty queen Ruffa Gutierrez as Best Actor and Actress, instead of Edu Manzano and Aiko Melendez, who were the actual winners.[4] Another co-host, Gretchen Barretto, later revealed the scam, and accused Solis and Annabelle Rama as masterminds behind it.[5] Solis and six others were charged. Solis ultimately pleaded guilty to the offense of orchestrating the scam.[6]
