Eat Bulaga director Ice Seguerra, in an interview in the capital, admitted that he did not witness the moment Kim Chiu made a joke about Ryzza Mae Dizon. However, he emphasized the importance of being careful with words, especially on television.
Ice Seguerra Calls for Sensitivity
“I think it would be better if we are more sensitive of people,” Ice stated, addressing the controversy surrounding Kim Chiu’s comment. While many netizens criticized Kim for her joke, others came to her defense, pointing out perceived double standards.
Netizens Defend Kim Chiu
One netizen remarked, “You speak up now, but you had nothing to say about Joey’s rape jokes, hahaha,” referencing past jokes by Joey de Leon. Another fan commented, “The issue was blown out of proportion because the two are on separate noontime shows and different network.”
Some also noted that Vhong Navarro had previously made a similar joke about Ryzza Mae on It’s Showtime, yet he faced no backlash. “But now that it is Kim making a joke about Ryzza, why is everyone making such a big fuss?” a netizen questioned.
