Tuesday Vargas expressed her dismay after she was accused of allegedly ignoring requests for photos during a Hong Kong trip, reiterating that the claim was ‘made up’ to make her look bad.
Vargas took to her Facebook page on Saturday, Oct. 4, to voice out her concerns about an unnamed netizen who accused her of being a ‘total b****’ on Reddit, after the actress-comedian allegedly ignored photo requests at Hong Kong Disneyland.
‘Bakit po may mga ganitong tao sa mundo? Lahat po ng nag ask nicely sa akin ay pinagbigyan ko po magpa picture. Nakaka lungkot po na may ganitong mapag gawa ng kwento (Why do these kinds of people exist? I entertain photo requests from people who ask me nicely. It makes me sad to see that people would make up such stories),’ she said, claiming that the netizen made up stories about her.
Vargas also clarified that if ever she passed up someone’s photo request, it might have been due to factors beyond her control. ‘Kung nalampasan ko po kayo, napaka daming tao at napaka init po noong araw na yon.’
‘Wala akong maalala na nang irap ako at nag taray sa kahit sinong MAAYOS akong nilapitan at nagpa picture,’ she continued. ‘Please lang po, huwag naman po tayong ganyan. Nakaka sakit po kayo ng damdamin.’
(If I passed you by, there were a lot of people, and it was very hot at the time. I don’t remember rolling my eyes at someone and becoming mean to them, no matter how many times people would approach me for photos. Please don’t be like this. It hurts my feelings.)
In separate posts, Vargas shared screenshots of comments from netizens defending her, saying the ordeal has been ‘overwhelming.’ She also hoped to find the person behind the false claims that were made against her.
‘Kung maayos na nag sabi, lumalapit nang naka ngiti at hindi demanding o entitled, bakit naman hindi pag bibigyan magpa picture? Sana alam ko kung sino ka na naninira sa akin para pwede tayong mag harap at nang masabi ko sa iyo na kahit kelan ay hindi ako madamot sa oras ko at sa mga taga hanga ko. Kung talagang matapang ka ay sana sinabi mo sa akin doon mismo ang saloobin mo at di ka naka tago sa Reddit,’ she said.
(If you say things nicely, approach me while smiling without being demanding or entitled, why should I not entertain your photo requests? I wish I knew who you were so I could tell you face to face that I don’t deprive people of my time. If you’re brave enough to make these claims, tell it to me face to face and don’t hide behind your Reddit profile.
