Cristy Fermin is courting controversy anew.
The veteran showbiz scribe-radio host has taken a rather unpopular stance in the issue involving LJ Reyes and Paolo Contis.
Apparently, she doesn’t like it that LJ didn’t divulge the nitty-gritty relating to his separation with Paolo in her interview with Boy Abunda.
She deemed LJ’s take on the matter questionable, even describing it as “kalabuan,” “paliguy-ligoy.”
Cristy doesn’t like it too that LJ was crying throughout the interview.
"Kapag lumuha ang babae, nakukuha ang otsenta porsiyento ng simpatya. Natural lamang ’yon. Pero kapag hindi diretso ang mga isinasagot at paliguy-ligoy nakakaramdam ng kalabuan ang mga nanonood, nakikinig," she said in her radio show.
"Siguro ang inaasahan po ng ating mga kababayan, ‘Ganyan lang din at nagsalita ka na, bakit hindi mo pa tinumbok ’yong tunay na problema?’ Parang ganu’n," she added.
She thinks what ended the relationship is the fact that LJ was nagging Paolo.
“Natural, ang lalaki ni-na-nag mo. Diyos ko, ‘day, sa kanila nakakasawa ‘yun. Kapag nagger ang babae, hindi nila gusto ‘yan,” said she.
“Pagod na pagod si Paolo, maghapon, magdamag, nagtatrabaho, pagdating ng bahay kokomprontahin mo pa at sisinghalan? ‘Di ba parang ganon? Siyempre hindi gugustuhin ng lalaki ‘yan.”
Cristy also tried to sway blame away from actress Yen Santos, who is rumored to have caused the split.
This, even if she admitted that a source told her it was indeed Paolo and Yen who were sighted together looking all-too cosy in Baguio and Pangasinan as based on photos and videos circulating on social media.
“Totoong pong sila yun. Nagkayayaan lang daw si Paolo at si Yen na magsimba sa Manaoag. At siyempre pagkasimba, kakain...Pero nung maganap po yan, matagal na pong hiwalay si Paolo at tsaka si LJ.”
She continued, “Kumbaga, hindi na po siya (Yen) naging third wheel. Hindi po siya ikatlong bahagi or third party kasi hindi po niya pinasok yung relasyon nila Paolo at LJ. Nasa labas na si Paolo, nang sila ay mag tambal sa ‘A Faraway Land.’ Nasa labas na rin po ng relasyon si Paolo, ng pumunta sila sa Manaoag, nagdasal at kumain sa labas. At wala ng pwedeng ibato pa laban kay Yen kasi labas na sila dun eh.”
She was even kinder towards Paolo.
She said, “Wala akong masilip eh. Wala akong makitang masama sa mata ni Paolo Contis ngayon eh. At saka para mapuno siya ng ganyan... Matindi itong pinagdaanang ito.”
For her, LJ was just someone that Paolo thankfully picked up despite having a son from a previous relationship.
And that LJ must have done something really bad to make Paolo quit on their relationship.
“Pinakamamahal mo si LJ, pinaglaban mo si LJ. Tinanggap mo sa kabila na meron na siyang anak sa ibang personalidad, tinanggap mo. Minahal mo si Aki. Kayo ni LJ ang nagpalaki sa bata. Mahal na mahal mo, parang tunay na anak mo. Bakit napuno ang salop? May dahilan na matindi diyan.”
Netizens fumed.
Some of their comments:
“Si LJ pa talaga sinisi?”
“Bakit niya pinagtatakpan si Paolo?”
“Magkano?”
