Ciara Sotto defends Maine Mendoza amid issue over old tweets: ‘You are not defined by your past mistakes’

Ciara Sotto has taken to Twitter to defend Maine Mendoza, who apologized for some decade-old tweets that recently resurfaced on the internet.

“You are not defined by your past mistakes,” the actress said, tagging Maine in a tweet last April 17.

“Whatever you’ve been through doesn’t have to be the end of you. You are valuable and irreplaceable. And I love you!!!” She added.

In another tweet, Ciara reminded netizens to stop putting each other down based on mistakes made in the past.

“All of us have made mistakes in the past that we regret, especially when we were younger... Being a celebrity doesn’t mean we are not allowed to make those mistakes... we are human just like you,” Ciara wrote.

“STOP THE HATE. BE KIND... TO OTHERS... and TO YOURSELF,” she added.

Maine took to Twitter last April 16 to apologize for remarks she made on social media more than 10 years ago, which ranged from expressing dislike for Taylor Swift to using "bading" as an insult. — Margaret Claire Layug/LA, GMA News
