However, a few days after this episode of It’s Showtime, Christine released a video on her TikTok account where she insisted that Axel did nothing wrong and that he also had no intention of kissing her because he only intended to give her a brotherly hug, which is why he came so close.

Following this, Vice Ganda also released a tweet where he publicly apologized to Axel because Christine was not turned off and they simply misjudged the situation.

However, on Tuesday, June 4, 2024, before the end of the airing of It’s Showtime, Vice Ganda again issued a public statement in which he withdrew his public apology to Axel because they allegedly spoke again with Christine where she admitted that she was truly turned off by Axel’s actions.

Because of this, Vice Ganda insisted that he has nothing to apologize to Axel because there was nothing wrong with what they did and they just reacted based on what they saw.

They also said that what they did was right because he was only protecting Christine.

Even Axel reportedly spoke with Vice Ganda, where he said he understood what happened and learned a lesson to prevent the incident from happening again.

On the other hand, this issue became even more complicated when a video went viral showing Christine crying while talking to the It’s Showtime staff, claiming that they were calling her a liar because after she said in a video that she was no longer off, she told It’s Showtime that she really didn’t like what happened.

The said story garnered various comments and netizens’ opinions were divided, with some siding with It’s Showtime and saying that it was only doing its responsibility to its guests, but there were also those who said that Vice Ganda called out Axel because it was not right.

Christine’s sister also issued a statement where she showed a video of her sister in which she can be heard talking to the staff of It’s Showtime. Christine’s sister did not like Vice Ganda’s dumping of her sister, which is why netizens are angry.
