It’s Showtime‘s child star Kulot cried on the noontime show. A concerned netizen urged her to consult a child psychologist.
“Dear It’s Showtime and ABS-CBN, I have been seeing video clips of a child crying on national TV because you were openly discussing family conflict in your show. While the intention was good, I think doing this has serious repercussions on the child’s mental health and well-being. You should also not force a child to say I love you to a family member especially if she has expressed that she’s not comfortable doing it. Please consult a child psychologist so you are aware of the consequences of your actions when you are working with children.”
The netizen shared that the said behavior of the child may have some serious consequences on the child’s mental health and well-being.
The said segment of the show is non-scripted. Kulot openly shared her family conflicts. It’s Showtime hosts Vice Ganda and Anne Curtis were able to handle the situation.
Another netizen lauded the hosts on how they managed the discussion.
“I have complicated feelings sa It’s showtime but respect kay Vice ganda + Anne with the way they handled this. It’s rare that the hosts were put in the spot by a kid. Hirap i-segue or gawing light yung topic but they managed it and were sensitive towards Kulot,” the netizen captioned.
