"ZsaZsa Zaturnnah was supposed to be really pretty, like a goddess, just like Zsazsa Padilla and Eula Valdez, who played for that role. Why hire Kim?" This is what an online user said relating a social media post featuring Regine Velasquez and Kim Molina, who is in costume as the red-haired heroine. Among those who cried foul was Kim's reel and real partner Jerald Napoles. He responded: "Kim is one of the most beautiful and empowered artists that fit's the role as it should be.. I wish you have seen how she did it and how she looked before putting your self entitled comment here." "People are giving her compliment from the vice president of Ateneo de Manila, to celebrities up to first time musical viewers. RAVING HER BEAUTY AND AMAZING TALENT. You are the only one who is criticizing her without even watching the performance. Initiating superficial judgement giving bias to your LIMITED STANDARD OF BEAUTY," he added.
According to him, the Facebook user is a "perfect example of a person who get's joy from insinuating negative ideas of beauty." Jerald declared: "I hope kids won't get these traits from the likes of you. And i hope a person will still see the beauty in him/her even if he/she encounters someone like you." The singer-actor shared the screenshot of his reply on his Facebook page. He also wrote in another post: "Salamat po sa inyong suporta at mga nagmamahal sa kung anong biyaya ng Diyos na meron kame sa peperform ni Kim Molina. tandaan ANG GANDA AY HINDI SINUSUKAT LALO NANG HINDI MASUSUKAT NG IBANG TAO BUKOD SAYO !! At higit sa lahat PAG INGGIT, PIKIT !" Kim appreciated her boyfriend's sweet gesture. She even reposted it. "Love you Jerald Napoles," her caption read along with a face holding back tears emoji.
Kim just wrapped up work on the musical as based on the graphic novel of Carlo Vergara titled, “Ang Kagila-gilalas na Pakikipagsapalaran ni Zsazsa Zaturnnah.” The story centers on Ada, a gay salon owner in a rural barangay, who, by some force of the universe, was struck in the head with a huge melon-sized stone from space.
Zsa Zsa played the character in a past film adaptation while Eula played the same in a re-staging at the Cultural Center of the Philippines.
