The conversation between the two was inaudible, but foul words and threats can be heard on the background.</span></div> <div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">In the caption, the uploader said Geisler was not allowed to enter because he was drunk.</span></div> <div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">“We do not know of any bar that discriminates against incoming patrons whether they appear inebriated or not. We can only conclude that this is a result of the stigma caused by similar incidents involving Mr. Geisler in the past,” the actor’s camp said.</span></div> <div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The same Facebook user uploaded a shorter second video with a length of one minute and 30 seconds, which showed a more violent Geisler cursing and seemingly provoking the bouncer to fight with him.</span></div> <div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Geisler’s management said the incident hurt the feelings of the actor, claiming that it brought up past issues.</span></div> <div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">“Nevertheless, a place for entertainment open to the public, locals and foreigners alike, cannot single out any individual purely because of the stigma of his past, unaccompanied by any illegal act, untoward incident, violation of law, ordinance and rules of the establishment,” the statement added.</span></div> <div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The actor’s camp also appealed to the public to “be more discerning before judging anyone.”</span></div> <div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">“Despite the commotion outside the bar, we are thankful that Baron had the right mind to walk away in the end from the said incident,” Geisler’s management said.</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/JFWuY3styCw/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JFWuY3styCw?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div> <div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">As of writing the first video has garnered more than 23,000 views, while the second one has more than 590,000 views. <strong><span style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Yuji Vincent Gonzales/ TVJ </span></strong></span></div>
