Kapamilya celebrities have expressed support for Kim Chiu after drawing flak over her viral “classroom” statement during a Facebook live protest against the shutdown of ABS-CBN.
All of ABS-CBN’s TV and broadcast operations were put on halt following the National Telecommunications Commission’s cease and desist order last May 5, a day after the network’s congressional franchise expired.
Kapamilya stars since the have rallied behind their home network, airing their sentiments through their social media accounts.
Kim’s statement during the Facebook live session in the Laban Kapamilya event last Friday, however, received backlash after netizens were left confused with her classroom analogy.
The 30-year-old actress issued an apology after, adding in jest that she didn’t understand her own remark as well.
Xian Lim on Tuesday defended Kim, saying that his girlfriend didn’t deserve the hate she’s getting, and encouraged social media users to help each other instead.
As of writing, Kim’s remark continues to trend online after netizens made memes and even a remix out of it.
Meanwhile, Kim’s colleagues from the Love Thy Woman cast sent their messages of love and support to the actress amid the immense bashing online.
Angel Locsin, Chie Filomeno and Kuya Kim Atienza also wrote consoling messages for Kim.
