JANE de Leon became the talk of the town after some social media users called her snob as she allegedly ignored fans during the “Five Breakups and a Romance” red carpet premiere.
Talking about the viral edited videos on TikTok, De Leon clarified: “First of all, introvert ako. I saw that (video) ‘yung kumalat kasi hindi ‘yun ‘yung full na nangyari so they thought na snob ako. Hindi nila alam na pumunta ako sa fans. I have that video. Ako naman, nag-e-enjoy lang ako.”
Discussing the ugly side of social media, the Kapamilya star said, “Sabi ko nga, don’t believe everything you see on social media, kasi hindi nila alam ine-edit out. Hindi nila alam ‘yung totoong ginagawa ng mga artista. Nakaka-sad lang na hindi nila nakikita ‘yung totoong gestures or pakikisama [dahil na-e-edit]. Natatawa ako kasi they know what I did nung premiere night — na nakihalubilo ako sa fans and naghintay kami kasi mayroon pang mga artista na ini-interview sa taas. Nakipag-interact naman kami nun.”
The Star Magic artist also thanked her loyal fans for defending her. “Hindi ko kailangang mag-adjust because this is me. I know myself. Marami namang nakakaalaam na introvert ako. Hindi naman nire-reason out ‘yung pagiging introvert. I love my fans so much and they know that. That’s why sobrang na-appreciate ko how they protect me and kung paano nila ako mahalin at alam nila ang istorya na hindi ko na kailangang i-defend ang sarili ko.”
Meanwhile, de Leon also revealed her future projects.
“Mayroon nang niluluto. Nagpi-pitch naman sila sa akin for the next serye. I think next year baka magagawa na namin ‘yun. Ngayon, naghahanap na rin sila ng mga leading man. Nag-recommend na rin ako ng mga leading man pero sa amin na lang ‘yun nila Tita Cory (Vidanes). Also, puro movies. Ang daming naka-lineup na movies kaya kinausap din ako ng bosses kung paano namin aayusin ‘yung schedule. Napag-usapan namin na we should finish the movies first,” she said. (ABS-CBN News)
