Tila hindi tanggap ng ilang netizens ang mga naging paliwanag ni Paolo Contis kaugnay ng mga kontrobersiyang kinasasangkutan niya ngayon.
Matatandaang kamakailan ay binasag na ni Paolo ang katahimikan niya hinggil sa hiwalayan nila ng asawang si LJ Reyes.
“Aaminin ko, naging marupok at gago ako sa ilang taon naming pagsasama. I’m not proud of it.
“For that, I’m sincerely sorry. I’m truly ashamed of my actions.”
Nilinaw din niya na walang kinalaman ang leading lady niya sa pelikulang “A Faraway Land” na si Yen Santos sa hiwalayan.
“She was never the reason of our break up. I was.
“Kung matagal na kaming hindi okay ni LJ, it was mainly because of me.
“Masyado niyo siyang diniin sa issue na to. Pati pag promote namin ng movie nabahiran na ng kung anu ano.”
Ipinaliwanag din niya ang naglabasang usap-usapan na magkasama sila ni Yen sa Baguio gaya ng ilang kumalat na candid photos at video nilang dalawa.
“When LJ left for the States with the kids, I went to Baguio for 3 days dahil ayaw ko sa Manila at gusto kong makapag isip isip.
“Naging insensitive ako about the possible effects nung issue and I invited Yen for a day para may makausap since malapit lang siya sa North din.
“She went there as a friend. Hindi ko naisip na madadamay siya ng ganito. I’m sorry for this.”
Sa kabila ng mga pahayag ni Paolo, oatuloy pa rin siyang nakakatanggap ng pambabatikos sa social media.
Bagama’t may ilang netizens na nagpahayag ng paghanga nila sa katapangan ng aktor na sagutin at harapin ang mga issue, marami rin ang tila hindi naniniwala sa mga naging paliwanag niya.
Ilang oras lamang matapos siyang maglabas ng pahayag sa kanyang mga social media accounts, naging trending topic sa Twitter si Paolo.
Narito ang ilan sa mga tweets at reaksiyon ng netizens.
As a friend HAHAHAHA Paolo Contis. 😆 https://t.co/fDFXxatzDw

Pinapa highblood ako ni Paolo Contis. Wala ka bang lalaking friend na dadamay sayo sa Baguio? Grabe naman mang comfort si Yen Santos ano po? Kumakapiy sa braso at sinusubuan ka pa ng pagkain.

To Paolo Contis: May magagawa pa kaya ang sorry mo?
Honestly, why do people cheat? Why do people hurt the ones who love them unconditionally. Hindi ko maintindihan.
You never laid a finger on them physically. But emotionally, you broke them. All of them. pic.twitter.com/8MExEvMlW6

Showbiz tweet for now.
I just read Paolo Contis' side of the story. I just have to say that THIRD PARTY, no matter how couples deny it, will always be on top of the reasons why relationships fail. When one cheats, it's trust that is lost right away.

Paolo Contis' statement is nothing but a gaslighting to LJ Reyes. Notice how he started it with how he was bashed & disrespected due to LJ's interview? When he can explain stuff without even mentioning it.
Just say you're abusive and go. Tangina nyo pa rin ni Yen Santos ✨
— Alphina (@maleedus) September 8, 2021
Paolo Contis will really go any lengths, making a fool of himself on social media and hurting LJ, Aki and Summer even more just to save Yen Santos' pathetic ass. What a clown. 🤡

Abangan nyo, 2 years later or mas maaga pa dyan, aamin din yan si Paolo Contis at Yen Santos na sila na. Parang Julia Barretto at Gerald Anderson lang yan. Papalamig muna sa social media. Haha

Paolo Contis sana nanahimik ka nalang gaya ng mga lalaking kagaya mo na nasangkot sa ganitong issue. Nag-ingay ka for nothing. Now, more people despise you.
— Grannie (@grannietalks) September 8, 2021
nag-post si paolo contis para ipagligtas image ni "friend Yen na touchy kumapit at willing to go sa baguio sa lalaking iniwan pamilya" orrr to apologize kay LJ??
cheaters would rlly go miles just to protect their third party instead of protecting the one they truly hurt lol

Ewan ko sa yo Paolo Contis. Wait, galing North daw si Yen so based nga sya sa Ilocos? 🤔
Pero from Ilocos to Baguio ang layo, tapos nag Pangasinan pa. Bait naman na friend ni Yen 😂
Tapos nag thank you pa sya kay Cristy Fermin? Really after shaming her for being a single mom?

Okay, we all know we hate people like Paolo Contis but can I also say this? Choosing not to cheat is not something to praise. It IS the bare minimum.
It doesn't mean hindi ka cheater ay may excuse ka na to hurt your partner in other ways. (Physically, Emotionally, and Mentally)
— Rayla (@rayla_notelf) September 8, 2021
Paolo Contis statement's about breaking up with LJ Reyes sounded like a usual man saying "I'm sorry." to the people they CHOOSE to hurt. Saying sorry doesn't work when you give too much trauma, pain and anxiety to the person who treasured and protected you.
