However, the next day she posted a screenshot of a message from netizens giving unsolicited and sexually charged advice with Ho’s caption expressing her exasperation.
Geez. When you take fan photos with NBA players, why do people immediately assume something happened ⤵️
I have gotten this so many times.
Pwede ba 😤😤😤 pic.twitter.com/Ad3ffwtF0k— Gretchen Ho (@gretchenho) December 16, 2021
Netizens responded to Ho’s post with messages of support and calling out the person who messaged her.
Nai-inggit lang sila dahil ikaw na meet mo mga NBA player.

You should get use to some with the worst Filipino characters getting a free pass without responsibility

If he thinks that way he is the one who is already mentally and emotionally damaged. Saw your pic with Steph and the thought never entered my mind 🙄

TV personality Cesca Litton-Kalaw also responded to the post, calling out netizens who thought they could get “a free pass” with inappropriate remarks on the Internet.
I hosted an event with an international celeb guest a while back and someone posted a comment on the pic saying “k*n*nt*t mo yan?”.
Some people really think they get a free pass for saying disgusting things if it’s on the internet. Their time will come.

Ho replied, agreeing to Litton-Kalaw’s assessment on social media.
Grabe diba? I’m sure this happens more often than people notice. Ang lala at ang bastos.

One News Sports broadcaster, Paolo del Rosario, also blasted the netizen for the inappropriate message.
Trash. 🗑

Ho responded, noting that she also has several messages on facebook with similar content.
Dati pa to, mas marami pa sa Facebook. Nakakainis na 😤

Ho’s affiliation with sports personas is evident throughout her career as she debuted her hosting career through Gameday Weekend on ABS-CBN Sports + Action.
In January 2021, Ho announced her transfer to the Kapatid Network TV5 after eight years of working in the Kapamilya network. She appeared on ABS-CBN programs, such as Umagang Kay Ganda, TV Patrol, and News Patrol.
