Amid his issue with Vice Ganda, Axel Cruz has a message again
AXEL CRUZ – A participant in “EXpecially For You,” has a message in response to the controversy he faced after being criticized by Vice Ganda on national television.
In his Facebook post, Axel expressed hope that the truth would prevail after Vice accused him of inappropriate behavior towards Christine, who was also on the show. “Sometimes the best thing you can do is keep your mouth shut and your eyes open. The truth always comes out in the end,” he wrote.
Netizens rallied in support of Axel amid the backlash from Vice’s fans, with some even encouraging him to file a formal complaint with the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) to address the humiliation he faced on national TV. They encouraged him to trust his instincts, not let others use him, and stay positive, emphasizing that his intentions were good and he had done nothing wrong.
Meanwhile, the controversy between Axel, Christine, and Vice Ganda began on June 3, 2024, when Axel attempted to steal a kiss from Christine. He was called out by Vice Ganda for his behavior. Vice initially expressed his intention to apologize to Axel but later retracted the apology, maintaining that Axel’s actions were inappropriate, despite Christine’s claim that she was not offended.
Vice explained that while they respected Christine’s public statement, she was offended. He emphasized the importance of addressing Axel’s behavior because every woman has the right to object if she feels uncomfortable. Vice maintained that acknowledging Christine’s true feelings was crucial, even if she publicly said otherwise.
Meanwhile, a video of Christine crying while speaking to a staff member of It’s Showtime has gone viral. In the video, Christine couldn’t help but vent her frustration against the noontime show for making her appear to be a liar.
