Janella Salvador Receives Support from Netizens After ‘Joke’ on ‘It’s Showtime’
Janella Salvador found herself in the middle of a social media storm after receiving backlash for a comment she made on the hit show “It’s Showtime.” The actress, who appeared on the show to promote her movie “Under the Parallel Skies,” faced criticism for her remark, “My voice is hoarse, you guys do it instead.”
During her guest stint on the show, co-host Kim Chiu asked Salvador for a sample of her new song. However, Salvador declined, citing her hoarse voice and suggesting that others should perform instead. The clip of this exchange went viral online, with some viewers labeling Salvador as “rude” and criticizing her for allegedly embarrassing Chiu.
In a segment called “EXpecially for You,” co-host Vice Ganda reiterated Salvador’s comment to another contestant who also refused to give a sample. This moment was met with laughter from the hosts onstage.
While some netizens condemned Salvador for her behavior, others came to her defense, pointing out that her comment was meant as a lighthearted joke. They also criticized Vice Ganda for exacerbating the situation with his response.
Amid the online debate, the hashtag “Janella Get Behind Me” started trending on social media platforms as supporters rallied behind the actress. The incident has sparked a wider conversation about humor, professionalism, and public perception in the entertainment industry.
