Comedienne-singer Tuesday Vargas urged the public to temper criticism directed at Alvin Aragon, husband of former SexBomb Girls member Izzy Trazona, following his controversial remarks about the LGBTQIA+ community and the group’s performances.
In a Facebook post on Friday, February 20, Vargas appealed for empathy, citing Aragon’s past trauma.
“Simple lang naman ‘yong punto. Halatang-halatang unstable siya. Kailangan niya ng professional help. Kailangan niya ng understanding natin, ng kindness natin,” she wrote.
She continued: “Kasi has admitted he went through childhood trauma. May pinagdaanan si Kuya kaya gano’n ‘yong worldview niya; gano’n na lang siya kabilis manghusga.”
According to Vargas, Aragon appears to exhibit signs of control and hypervigilance, which she linked to unresolved trauma.
“Saka mayro’n siyang ine-exhibit na form of control in everything he says. Hypervigilant din siya so mayro’n siyang trust issues because of the trauma that happened to him.”
Vargas also asked the public to respect the structure and dynamics of Aragon and Trazona’s family.
“Wag nating komentuhan ‘yon. ‘Yong masasama niyang nasabi, that’s also part of his unhealed version that he needs to work on.”
While acknowledging that anger and reactions are valid, she warned against excessive hostility.
“Valid na nagagalit tayo, may mga reaksiyon tayo sa hindi magandang sinabi…pero we’re becoming the very thing that we hate.”
Aragon recently drew criticism after sharing his views about the LGBTQIA+ community, including comments regarding his transgender stepdaughter, Sofia Trazona. He also made remarks about the name, attire, and performances of the SexBomb Girls, suggesting that these were not pleasing in the eyes of God — statements that triggered widespread backlash online.
As the debate continues, Vargas’ statement introduces a different perspective: one that calls for accountability, but also compassion.
