The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board is currently investigating the show, following its May 7, 2012, episode, in which the hosts issued threats to celebrity couple Raymart Santiago and Claudine Barretto in connection with the brawl with their brother Ramon Tulfo in Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 on May 6.^[1] They made a public apology the following day, but they were still suspended from hosting the show as well as other News5 programs aired in TV5 and AksyonTV for 3 days from May 9–11, 2012.^[2] The MTRCB suspend the show from May 10 to 17.^[3] Ramon Tulfo, Martin Andanar and Atty Mel Sta. Maria hosted the May 9 episode before the suspension. TV5 is questioning the agency's action, declaring that it could threaten the freedom of the press.^[4] A television version of Relasyon from Radyo5 92.3 News FM, hosted by Luchi Cruz-Valdes and Mel Sta. Maria, is filled up the T3's timeslot from May 10–11. As of May 14, the timeslot was occupied by Sharon: Kasama Mo, Kapatid and Metro Aksyon which was extended to 30 minutes, carrying T3's format, aside for bringing news. The suspension was later lifted by the MTRCB effective May 17, only 7 days into the scheduled 20-day suspension after the settlement of MTRCB and TV5 and returned on air on the following day.^[5]

From May 30 – June 20, 2012, T3 was once again suspended after a "thorough deliberation" by the MTRCB adjudication board.^[6] T3's timeslot, once again, filled up by Metro Aksyon with T3 hosts Ben and Raffy Tulfo anchoring. On June 20, 2012, 3 weeks into the scheduled 3-month suspension, the Court of Appeals issued a 60-day temporary restraining order (TRO) to stop the suspension.^[7] It is expected to return on air on June 25.

On August 11, 2012, the T3 crew saw the brawl between Robert Blair Carabuena, an executive in the Phillip Morris and Saturnino Fabros, an MMDA enforcer in Quezon City. It was shown on the August 13 edition of the show. It was a trending topic in social media when Fabros became popular while Carrabuena was suspended by the company, but he made a public apology with MMDA Chairman Francis Tolentino a few weeks later. Fabros refused to accept his apology. Fabros was promoted to a Rank II traffic enforcer.^[8]
