Kapamilya actress Alexa Ilacad recently confronted a netizen who criticized her appearance and body, engaging in a heated exchange on social media.
The netizen commented on Alexa’s photo, stating, “Ang ganda mo pero may something talaga sa katawan mo na mejo off.” The actress did not let this pass and responded firmly.
“2024 na pero hindi ka parin aware na our bodies come in different shapes, sizes, and proportions? I’d suggest you hit the books before making comments that are very… ‘off,’” Alexa retorted.
The netizen continued the exchange, suggesting that Alexa should not be in showbiz if she cannot handle criticism. “2024 na pero mukhang ang gusto mo lang na comment ay yung hindi ‘off’ para sayo? Dapat hindi ka nag artista if you can’t stomach the truth,” the basher wrote.
Alexa clapped back, stating, “What a dumb argument. Me being a celebrity doesn’t give you a free pass to be rude.”
She added, “Last time I checked, ang trabaho ko po bilang artista ay umarte, kumanta, sumayaw minsan, at magpasaya ng tao (which I love doing). Buut it isn’t part of my job description to tolerate rude comments like this. Constructive criticism—I accept with an open heart, but this? Nah. Such a toxic mindset.”

This is not the first time Alexa has faced such comments. Previously, her on-screen partner KD Estrada defended her against a body-shaming comment, responding to a basher who called Alexa “Gasul ka ghorl” with, “Kapal ng mukha neto ganda ka?”
