- Former actress Queenie Padilla came to defend her father Robin Padilla from bashers.
- The 25-year old daughter of Robin on bashers calling his dad a racist: “My father called Ji-Wan “anak” and hugged him. Is that an act of racism?
Despite not being in the Philippines, former actress Queenie Padilla came to defend his father Robin from bashers who are calling him racist. The 25-year old sister of Kylie Padilla said that his dad is not racist for calling the Korean contestant Kim Ji-Wan “anak.”
Queenie took to Instagram to share her views on the controversial episode of “Pilipinas Got Talent Season 6.”
She started her long post, “Calling my father a racist, is wrong. My father called Ji-Wan “anak” and hugged him. Is that an act of racism?”
Queenie shared how she understands the incident that offended her father in the impolite way of Ji-wan asking her dad to participate in the trick.
“Look at it this way, Ji-Wan asked Papa in an improper way, “can I use you?.” I know Ji-Wan may have meant well and may have been nervous but I think that’s where my dad got offended. That in itself is disrespectful whether or not my father is who he is, Ji-Wan is younger than him. We should show respect to our elders. The right way would have been to ask, “can you please help me?”
Queenie urged everyone not to treat the situation as a bad thing, rather appreciate how it ended.
“As for my father, the tone of my dad may have been harsh towards Ji-Wan but that’s the way my father is, even when he is disciplining us [his children]. It’s not because my dad is hating on him, my dad just expected more from him since, he grew up in the Philippines. They both meant well. I think we should define this situation how it ended, not how it started,” she defended.
