Because of what Paolo Contis said about KathDen, did he receive an online backflash?
Paolo Contis has become a hot topic on social media because of some comments he made during an interview with Alden Richards on #JustIn.
Speaking about Alden’s 2019 film with Kathryn Bernardo, “Hello Love Goodbye,” Paolo gave props to Asia’s Multimedia Star for being part of the highest-grossing Philippine film of all time.
“The number one movie of Star Cinema and ABS-CBN, the artist is from GMA,” he said. “Of course we have Kathryn who is the biggest star of ABS-CBN but you are also a big star of GMA.”
Some fans of Kathryn Bernardo took issue with this, as only the first part of her comment was circulating online.
On Friday’s episode of “Fast Talk With Boy Abunda,” Paolo shared his thoughts on the flak he received and clarified his comments about Alden and Kathryn.
“I was a little surprised because it was taken out of context,” he said. “Obviously, the person who posted it, to be honest with me, was kind of looking for an issue.”
“To be honest, if I were also Kathryn’s fan and that was the only short part I watched… I would be offended too,” he added.
Paolo said that Alden is grateful to Star Cinema and Kathryn for what they did for him, so he hopes people can watch the entire interview instead of just watching a clip online.
“We’ve been taken in by clickbait again and sadly people got mad at me and Alden,” he said.
In asking for his message from Kathryn, Paolo reiterated his respect for the actress.
“Hi Kathryn, I respect you as an actress, you are one of the biggest artists of ABS-CBN. I hope you watch the whole interview so you can see for yourself that we respected you in the interview,” he said.
