Recently, a video of famous gymnast Carlos Yulo, or better known as “Caloy,” with his girlfriend Chloe San Jose became a hot topic. On Nanay Cristy Fermin’s afternoon show on November 1, 2024, they discussed the heated comments from the public about the video.

Along with her fellow hosts, Cristy couldn’t help but be surprised by the reactions of netizens on social media, particularly the negative comments referring to Chloe.

Despite Carlos Yulo’s success in the field of gymnastics and despite his popularity, his relationship with Chloe has not escaped the scrutiny of the public. Many of the netizens’ comments expressed their disapproval of Caloy’s girlfriend. According to Nanay Cristy, it is surprising that people’s reactions to a simple video showing a casual moment between Caloy and Chloe were so warm. She highlighted the question of why some Filipinos seem to be so affected by the athlete’s personal life.

Cristy added that such reactions are not new in the world of social media, especially among famous personalities. But she said, it is sad that instead of giving support and admiration to athletes who represent the country, their personal lives often become the victim of critical comments. In the case of Caloy and Chloe, the issue seems to have become heated because of Carlos’s public figure, where some expected his personal moments to be more private or ‘decent’ events.

Cristy also gave her opinion on the trials of people in showbiz or the public eye. She said that one should not judge a person based on their personal decisions when it comes to matters of the heart, especially if they are not doing anything wrong or illegal. She emphasized that Carlos Yulo is a talented athlete who brought honor to the country, and he deserves to be happy in his personal life.

Although not many details were shared in the video, it seems to be enough to cause controversy and discussion on social media. Despite this, Nanay Cristy advised the public not to be too judgmental of every action or decision of famous personalities. She said it would be better to just support our athletes in their matches and be more understanding of their personal lives.

This issue serves as a reminder to the public that being an athlete or celebrity does not mean losing their right to live a life free from negative comments.
