It’s Showtime host Kim Chiu is now facing complaints before the Movie Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) over the remarks she made during one of the segments of the show.
Kim drew the attention of netizens when said the word “vibrator” in describing the voice of a ‘Tawag ng Tanghalan’ contestant.
“Ang ganda ng vibrator ng boses mo,” Kim said.
Fans of Kim quickly came to the defense of the host and said that Kim was referring to the quality of the voice of the contestant.
The MTRCB is also set to announce its decision over the cake icing incident between Vice Ganda and Ion Perez.
The board is also deliberating on the issue of Wally Bayola’s cursing on live television on E.A.T.
During the show, Kim touched on some sensitive topics, which many viewers found unsatisfying. Many felt that her comments were not only insensitive but also potentially misleading to young viewers.
An MTRCB spokesperson said, “We have received several complaints and are closely reviewing the content of the show. We are committed to ensuring that all broadcasts comply with ethical and responsible media practices.”
Kim Chiu, one of the biggest stars in the Philippine entertainment industry, has faced controversy in the past but has also received strong support from her fans. However, this time, she may face more serious consequences if the complaints are taken seriously by the MTRCB.
Fans and critics are closely watching the developments. Many are hoping that Kim will soon issue an apology or clarify her statements to ease the situation.
This incident not only raises questions about the responsibility of artists in speaking out but also highlights the sensitivity of society towards current social issues. Kim Chiu may need time to consider and come up with the next steps to regain the trust of her fans.
