Vice Ganda believed that he was being criticized by netizens until today due to his joke about veteran newscaster Jessica Soho.
While interviewing Awra Briguela, Vice said that most critics have only mentioned one thing they didn’t like against him despite it already happening a long time ago.
He was referring to his joke against Soho during his “I-Vice Ganda Mo Ako sa Araneta” concert, where he used the veteran journalist as a subject for his line.
“Paulit-ulit ang definition ng mga taong ayaw sa akin which is enough for them to not like me. Isa lang ang definition ko [for them]: I made a joke about Jessica Soho,” said Vice. “‘Yun lang ang depinisyon ko sa mga taong ayaw sa akin, at habang buhay na nilang bibitbitin iyon para maging rason para magalit sila sa akin habambuhay.”
Vice mentioned his story to Awra to remind her that the commotion she caused last year at a club in Makati would be thrown against her as long as people would remember it.
“Kailangan mo siyang harapin kasi kung bina-band aid mo siya, hindi siya [maghe-heal]. Kailangan mo siyang gamutin. Kailangan mong gamutin ang sugat,” said Vice. “Hindi lahat ng tao, papaboran at magugustuhan ka. Kaya kailangan mong mag-adjust.”
“Kung ano mang gawin ko, they will not like me, they will hate me, and they only need one bad definition of me. And that is, Vice Ganda siya ‘yung nag-joke kay Jessica Soho at babalikan nila ‘yun para hindi sila mawala sa paniniwala na ayaw nila ako.” he added.
