But then, not all people believe that what had happened to her was real because even after the incident, she still went for her taping that day. Former broadcaster Jay Sonza called the attack a fake ambush and called it “isang malaking drawing”.
Kim’s showbiz friends like Sunshine Cruz, Director Jerry Lopez Sineneng, Angel Locsin, David Chua, and Ogie Diaz defended her against Sonza’s allegations. They said Kim isn’t the type to look for publicity that way and that she doesn’t need to seek the extra attention anyway.
Meanwhile, Kim remains grateful that she and her companions remained safe and that there are people who care about her.
