The drama between Kim Chiu and former news anchor Jay Sonza is causing a stir on Philippine social media! When Sonza bluntly called Kim a “liar,” a series of backlashes erupted from both fans and celebrities in the entertainment industry. But most notably, Ogie Diaz did not hesitate to speak up to defend the actress, making this controversy even more intense!
The incident began when Jay Sonza suddenly posted on social media, criticizing Kim Chiu for a past statement that he considered “untrue.” Sonza did not hesitate to emphasize that the actress had “deceived the public” and implied that she was just acting to attract pity from the audience.
These sharp words immediately caused a storm of public opinion, especially among Kim Chiu’s fan community. Many people believe that this was a deliberate act of attack to destroy the actress’s reputation.
Immediately after the controversy broke out, Ogie Diaz – one of the famous entertainment journalists and also a close friend of Kim Chiu – immediately spoke up. In a post, Ogie frankly expressed his indignation at Jay Sonza’s accusations.
“Kim Chiu is a hardworking, sincere artist and has never taken advantage of anything to attract attention,” Ogie Diaz affirmed. “It’s unfair to criticize her without any solid evidence!”
Not stopping there, Ogie also questioned whether Jay Sonza was intentionally creating drama to attract attention?
The incident quickly became a hot topic on Twitter and Facebook. Kim Chiu’s fans created the hashtag #WeStandWithKim to show their support for the actress. Many netizens also questioned the real motive behind Jay Sonza’s shocking statements.
Some opinions say that this is not the first time Sonza has criticized young artists, and that his targeting of Kim Chiu is just a ploy to attract attention.
Amidst the storm of controversy, Kim Chiu remained silent. She only posted a meaningful status:
*”No matter what anyone says, as long as I know the truth, that is the most important thing.”*
This statement immediately made fans speculate that Kim is choosing to stay silent to let things clear up on their own.
Currently, the controversy between Jay Sonza, Kim Chiu and Ogie Diaz has not shown any signs of cooling down. Will Kim officially speak up to refute? Will Jay Sonza provide evidence for his accusations? And how far will Ogie Diaz continue to defend Kim?
