Cianne Dominguez made a heartfelt return to the “It’s Showtime” stage over a week after a distressing attempted sexual assault incident. On her comeback during the “Karaokids” segment, her fellow hosts showed their support and solidarity through a comforting group hug.

As the segment unfolded, Dominguez and her team, which included Anne Curtis, participated in guessing the song sung in a challenging gibberish style by children on the show. After successfully earning a point for her team, Dominguez was greeted with enthusiastic cheers from the audience and a warm invitation from Vice Ganda for a group hug, which was eagerly joined by all the hosts, including Vhong Navarro, Ion Perez, and Jhong Hilario.

The incident leading to her brief hiatus involved a man named Shervey Torno, who followed Dominguez to her condo, made inappropriate advances, and physically restrained her, prompting her to file a charge of attempted sexual assault against him. Torno is currently held at Kamuning Police Station 10.

The emotional reunion on the show was a poignant moment, highlighting the close-knit nature of the “It’s Showtime” family and their collective stand against such violations. Dominguez expressed her gratitude towards her co-hosts and the show’s crew, emphasizing the strength and support she felt upon her return.

This incident has sparked conversations about safety and support for public figures facing similar threats, underscoring the importance of community and solidarity in overcoming personal traumas.
