Cristy Fermin expressed her empathy for fellow reporter Ogie Diaz, who found himself at the receiving end of backlash from fans of Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo.
Ogie D became a trending topic, accused of spreading fake news after he disclosed information suggesting secret encounters between Daniel and Andrea Brillantes.
Ogie’s source hinted at Kathryn’s alleged jealousy, citing it as the reason for her reluctance to collaborate with Andrea.
Addressing the situation, Cristy shed light on the challenges faced by reporters when sharing information. She pointed out that when fans disagree with reporters, they often face harsh criticism.
However, when the information proves accurate over time, there tends to be a lack of acknowledgment or appreciation.
“Ganyan naman lagi. Kawawa naman ang mga reporters ‘no. Kapagka meron kaming sinasabi na ganito at ganyan dahil may sources naman kami, nagagalit sa amin ang mga fans. Pero pagkalipas ng ilang buwan o taon pa nga ang inaabot, na totoo naman pala ang sinulat ng reporter o sinabi, hindi naman nila sinasabi na, ‘Oh tama nga kayo. Totoong-totoo pala’, walang ganoon,” remarked Cristy during the ‘Cristy Ferminute’ segment on November 10.
“Pero kapag nagpalutang ng balita na ayaw nila, galit na galit sila at ang tawag fake news peddler. Huwag naman ‘di ba. Ang makakasagot naman niyan talaga ang KathNiel,”
