After his Facebook account was hacked, TV host and former "Pinoy Big Brother" housemate Kian Kazemi has taken on measures to protect his account. 

“Naka-super private na ako ngayon. I changed my password so super hirap na [ma-open]. Hindi na ako basta-basta nag-o-open ng Facebook kasi baka maulit, eh,” he told Manila Bulletin Entertainment Online during the birthday presscon for Januray-born Star Magic artists.

A few weeks back, Kian landed in controversy when a very scandalous shoutout came out in his Facebook account in which he supposedly admitted that he’s gay.

“After all the years of denials because of showbiz and against the wishes of my manager, has finally decided to come out of the closet. All you cute boys, I’m single and ready to jingle!” read the shoutout.

Kian explained that he opens his Facebook account anywhere. “Minsan sa bahay ng kaibigan,” he enthused.

But he said he’ll waste no effort in finding the guy who hacked into his account.

“Wala naman kasing aamin eh. Kung sino man ‘yon, may envy lang siguro. No, I don’t wanna point fingers, mamaya mali. May mga pelikulang ganoon, akala mo siya na pala pero hindi. Sayang ang pagkakaibigan.”

Kian’s friends were the most surprised when the shoutout came out.

“Ang nakakagulat doon kasi, alam nila na I never type shoutouts, yung what’s on my mind. Hindi ako mahilig mag-ganoon. Noong time na ‘yun, lumabas ‘yon kaya nagulat sila. Hindi nga ako mahilig sa Facebook. Mga picture lang ang pinopost ko,” he said.

Kian learned about the controversial shoutout through a girl friend.

"‘Yung friend ko na girl called me. She knows me naman from when we were younger. So nagulat ako sa kotse. Natawa ang parents ko. Sabi nila, ‘Si Kian pa.’ I love everything about women.”

He is confident about his sexuality and he feels the people around him also feel the same.

“Mararamdaman mo naman sa aura (kung pinagdudahan ka). I think people who know me will never doubt me for a second. Well, people have the right to think whatever they want.  I know myself well. I’m comfortable (with my sexuality).”

When the gay admission issue came out, Kian was initially pissed off.

“Medyo napikon, tapos tinawanan na lang namin. Grabe naman ito. Maybe, it comes with the territory rin na I’m in showbiz, so ginawa ito sa akin.”

Kian celebrated his 24th birthday last Jan. 26 with a simple get-together with his family and friends at the poolside of his condo. He has every reason to celebrate as his career is in the upswing.

Aside from hosting “Trip Na Trip” with Jason Gainza, Uma Khouny and Kat de Castro, he’s also in “Habang May Buhay” as one of the nurse friends of Judy Ann Santos.
