"Grabe naman yun o! Halos wala ka na ngang boses wala pa ring matinong magandang lumalabas sa bibig mo."
This was the opening statement of actor Ion Perez in his latest TikTok that went viral recently.
"Uy, 2022 na! Iilan na lang yung araw sa mundo," added Ion as he laughed.
The comment section was immediately filled with reactions.
Many netizens mentioned the name of veteran showbiz scribe Cristy Fermin, seemingly insinuating that Ion's message is for her.
"Dapat talaga reneresbakan din si cristy fermin..kase sumo sobra na sa paninira kay vice at ion..," wrote one follower.
"Iilan na lang araw na nalalabi ni cristy fermin sa Mundo," another follower added.
An online user also teased: "cristy fermin naman paos na't lahat e chismis pa din."
"Cristy Fermin left the group," "Cristy left the Pinas," "Cristy Fermin left the Earth," and "Fermin left the universe."
Some advised Ion to simply ignore the rumors.
"if its not true dnt bother...dont wish anyone like that..." one commented.
Another echoed the same reaction: "Never wish ill on anyone… if you think her words are not true and has no value..ignore. You are better off than her anyway.. so why bother.."
"Hayaan mo na kung hindi naman totoo. Pagtawanan mo na lang. hahaha," read one post.
Others expressed support to Vice Ganda's partner.
"Tama ang ginawa mo idol, pinaringgan mo sila, ikaw kasi ang nadihado sa mga basher. Thank u dahil pinaglaban mo ang sarili mo."
"hayaan nyo na basta di totoo sinabi wag kayo paapekto dyan ksi sila kumikita sa tsismis."
Recall that Cristy discussed Vice's cryptic post in an episode of her radio program "Cristy Ferminute" a few days ago.
"Kung ganyang labas ng labas, alam mo ang taong malungkot, naghahanap ng saya sa labas ng kanyang tahanan. Tatandaan po natin na si Vice Ganda ay tao lamang. Nakakaramdam po ng saya, ng lungkot, ng gutom, ng puyat, ng pagod. At tsaka ang mga payaso po, lumuluha rin. Nakikita po natin siya nag papasaya ng ating mga kababayan pero hindi po natin alam kung ano ang kanyang saloobin," Cristy said.
"Kung ano man yung dinadala ni Vice ngayon, kung ano man yung malalim na problemang bumabagabag sa kanya, sana malagpasan niya ito. Pero isa po itong napakalaking halimbawa na ang tao, gaano man kasikat, gaano man kayaman dinadalaw din po ng lungkot. Payaso man po, ay lumuluha rin," she added.
Earlier, fans speculated that all is not well after Vice shared a post on Instagram.
“The past few months have not been easy. In fact, they’ve been really difficult. Ang daming nangyari sa buhay ko. May magagaan, may mabibigat. May mga masasaya, may mga malulungkot. May mga winning moments at may mga humbling moments. It was exhausting, really exhausting,” it read.
Despite all that, Vice thanked the madlang people, especially her Little Ponies, for giving her strength.
