Naglabas na ng pahayag ang ABS-CBN reality show na Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) kaugnay ng alegasyon ng netizens at viewers nito kamakailan.
Ilang araw na rin kasing usap-usapan sa social media ang umano’y hindi magandang pakikitungo ni TJ Valderrama sa kapwa-housemate na si Shanaia Gomez.
Ayon sa PBB, hindi umano palalagpasin ni Kuya ang isyung ito.
“Ang harassment ay isang bagay na hindi palalagpasin ni Kuya kailanman lalo na’t kung ito ay may patunay. Ngunit mismong mga housemates na ang nagsabi na walang anumang nagaganap na ganito sa loob ng bahay.
“Nawa’y mas maging mapanuri at responsable ang lahat sa social media at wag manghusga lalo na kung hindi sapat at tama ang konteksto at impormasyon.”
Nag-ugat ang nasabing usapin nang kumalat sa social media ang ilang video clips na kuha mula sa livestreaming ng nasabing show.
Panoorin ang isang eksena dito.

Matapos ipalabas ang pahayag ng show, muling naglabas ng saloobin ang netizens tungkol sa isyu.
Narito ang ilan sa kanilang tweets.
Disappointed but not surprised haha. @PBBabscbn u didn't address the right issue lol. U should've talked to TJ alone and showed him the clips that the netizens gathered as an evidence! Enabler yaks #PBBKumuToyStories

PBB did invalidate the fans' clamor by letting the housemates decide of the things na sila mismo hindi naman aware. Of course they'd protect each other, but did u show them the videos and other receipts? Wala di ba? Play safe na pag handle ng issue. Disgusting. #PBBKumuToyStories

another way this TJ issue will backfire for ABS-CBN as a whole is that their detractors can weaponize this against them.
if supporters are saying PBB's making a mistake, imagine how detractors can spin that into a story that destroys their next franchise bid?#PBBKumuToyStories

DON'T MAKE BOND AND CLOSENESS AS AN EXCUSE!!! Even your own family, relatives, and friends can do such harassment thing to you! Even simple action with ulterior motives at intentions is considered as extensive fear sa victim.#PBBKumuToyStories@PBBabscbn

before you call the TJ issue as a "non-issue" or "malicious allegations" or "blown out of proportion", remember that PBB's case is an exception.
the reality is young girls get abused for YEARS because offenders are enabled by inaction and silence. (1/n)#PBBKumuToyStories

Ang weird nun. Something is not right talaga. #PBBKumuToyStories

call each housemate individually and show them the videos, and let's see how they'll react.
yes you have educated them about the matter but how will they learn without them knowing kung ano yung pagkakamali nila, lalo na ni teej the favorite.

It’s not just TJ being affectionate, it’s him showing his thing to the girls

"malisyosong alegasyon"
huh. what a way to describe the people's cry for proper sanctions for improper behavior. 🙂#PBBKumuToyStories

they're using shanaia's innocence to defend tj's advances, he definitely knows what he's doing but ofc @PBBabscbn knows that too kaya takot silang ipakita ang clips sa mga housemates bc once they see it they'll realize how disgusting his gestures are #PBBKumuToyStories

First of all, no one was even looking when that happened. Only the netizens watching the livestream saw it. Talagang hindi nila alam. 😂 Address the involved people, what’s good PBB? #PBBKumuToyStories

According to Gabriela, "unsolicited" touching can also be classified as sexual harassment.
How do we define unsolicited? according to dictionary it is "not asked for; given or done voluntarily."
Did Shanaia asked for his touch? #PBBKumuToyStories

the housemate still doesn’t have an idea what kuya was talking about. kaya housemates think we were just malisyoso at malisyosa, lol.
ALBIE Back SHANAIA

pbb clearing their favorite housemate in this episode. disappointed, but not surprised.
How low can you get, pbb?#PBBKumuToyStories

Don’t use the supposed family and bond they’ve formed inside as a justification. Pati nga sa mga pamilya possible na nangyayari ang harassment. There are scenarios that only the netizens see and the housemates dont. #PBBKumuToyStories

pbb accusing viewers for taking everything out of context, but not thoroughly explaining what was the "real issue" to the housemates. that's it.
now, i just hope that shanaia feels "really" safe and not just forced to agree. i also hope that her fam's fine.#PBBKumuToyStories

“Not all victims know they are victims.”
Want a better option? Let the housemates watch the clip and be the judge. They deserve to know. At kapag si Shanaia na mismo ang nagsabi na okay lang sa kanya yung mga nakita natin, then were done. Case closed.#PBBKumuToyStories

Be very aware that angry reasonable fans will be more vigilant.
Expect questionable cuts sa livestreams and shady camera angles.
Gusto niyo more evidence?
Fine.#PBBKumuToyStories— DOC SASSY | In Protest (@s10PBB) November 22, 2021
What the fans want is to reprimand TJ because of his actions. PBB should've talked to him ALONE, show the receipts & gave him at least a warning, kahit automatic nomination na lang. The way they handled the issue was wrong. Fans pa mali for being concerned.#PBBKumuToyStories
— Aya (@MsTaken4Granted) November 22, 2021
Genuinely, naiiyak ako.
We fight for equality and we fight for justice.
Pero, it's regarded as 'makitid ang utak'. I'm not blaming Madam as she did not see the clips.
But this is where we are.
PBB is the microcosm of society and it makes me sad.#PBBKumuToyStories

Anong 'kuya'?
Excuse me, I have kuyas as well, some are blood related, mostly are not. But not one of them, in any way, held me like the way TJ held her. That's not a kuya, that's a predator!!! So please, stop defending him
