Sunshine Dizon 'Lied' About Victor Neri

[ad#rectangle-1]

Sunshine Dizon took the lie detector test in Showbiz Central's "Don't Lie To Me" portion last Sunday. Most of her answers were 'truths' except for the last question which involves Victor Neri.

[caption id="attachment_811" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Victor Neri & Sunshine Dizon"][/caption]

Here are the questions:

1. You portrayed a lesbian role on TV and movies, is this because you have lesbian tendencies? She answered NO and the machine agrees.

2. You admitted having liposuction in your arms and back. Are there any other cosmetic procedure that you didn't admit in public? She said NO and still, TRUTH.

3. Do yo uthink Matet had been a bad influence to you? (Matet previously denied she taught Sunshine to drink and going to bars) Sunshine said NO and again, it is TRUE.

4. During your "Anna Karenina" days, were you romantically involved with Dingdong Dantes? Her answer is NO and it's TRUE.

5. Among your past boyfriends, is it true that you got hurt the most by Victor Neri? Sunshine said NO but this time the machine said that she LIED.

Sunshine even denied they were ever 'on' but people in the showbiz world thought otherwise. Victor Neri is now working in Hongkong and he even arranged her hotel accomodation when Sunshine went there, but she denied seeing him there.

It's Sunshine's words against the machine.
