SB19 Stell 'kalokalike' Jeon Cyrus on getting bashed: 'It's painful...'
"KalokaLike" contestant Jeon Cyrus reacts to hurtful remarks thrown at him after performing in the hit segment of It's Showtime yesterday, September 3.
Jeon, who competed in the Kapamilya noontime show as the look-alike of SB19 member Stell, expressed on Facebook his thoughts about getting bashed.
He wrote, “First of all, I want to say how grateful I am for the kind messages from everyone. This will be my last post and the last time I check notifications on all my social media accounts for a while. I'm quite sensitive to hurtful words, but I prepared myself for the possibility of negative comments before accepting the offer to be seen on national TV.”
The Cebu City-based performer admitted that he got upset with the negative comments he saw online that Stell will get bashed too, because of his appearance.
“I'm not upset by those who laughed at my appearance. Of course, our main goal at Showtime was to bring laughter and good vibes to everyone. What really broke my heart, though, is seeing people create stories that somehow, because of me, Kuya Stell might face more bashing, especially with his recent issues about “fame shame/visual” still being fresh.” Jeon shared.
He added, “It's painful to read comments blaming me, saying that Kuya Stell will receive more hurtful remarks because of my appearance and nakakahiya daw sa fandom, with some even suggesting I shouldn't have participated.
“FYI, ABS-CBN reached out to me.I didn't want to miss an opportunity to showcase my talents and share my love for performing with everyone.”
Despite the bashing he experienced after appearing in "KalokaLike," Jeon believes that he did his best to give It's Showtime viewers a great show.
“I did my very best to give everyone a great show through my talent. But please, stop accusing me of fueling the fire that might bring more negativity towards Kuya Stell.
“I hope I made my fellow A'TIN proud by performing an SB19 song, and I'm incredibly grateful to my group TITANS for showing me love and support.
“Thank you, everyone!:”
In the comment section, Jeon received an outpouring of support from netizens and congratulated him for a job well done.
Many also advised him not to mind his bashers.
