After a tearful James Yap called a press conference and refuted Kris Aquino’s allegations of “overt sexual advances”, it was the Queen of all Media’s turn to go on national television to belie her ex-husband’s statements.
Insisting that their son Bimby saw what really happened, Kris announced Wednesday night that she was quitting all her TV shows (“KrisTV”, “Kailangan Ko’y Ikaw” and “Pilipinas Got Talent”) on ABS-CBN to devote all of her time for her son who has been traumatized by the incident.
“It’s not between James and me and who is telling the truth. It’s about how much I love my son. Tama naman ang sinabi ng mga tao na kawawa na si Bimby so kailangan gawin ko ito para sa kanya,” she told broadcast journalist Ted Failon in a live interview for “TV Patrol”.
Despite the presence of her sisters, Ballsy, Pinky and Viel who all vowed their unqualified support for Kris, netizens on Twitter have remained unsympathetic to the controversial actress-host. Many are particularly annoyed by the fact that just like in many instances in the past, she is once again hogging headlines while significant national issues like Sabah and the coming elections have taken the back seat.
On the contrary, James Yap’s statements on his own press conference immediately made him a trending topic on Twitter last Thursday. While there are a few tweets that are favorable to Kris, most of the posts found the beleaguered basketball superstar to be more believable by comparison.
As the Kris Aquino vs. James Yap issue continues to be a much talked about topic both online and offline, one thing that seems to remain largely unchanged is the way many people continue to view Kris’ actions in a negative light.
