Maraming naalarma sa ‘baby-themed photoshoot’ niya: DONNALYN, binatikos at agad nag-apologize sa maling nagawa

PINAG-USAPAN at umani nang sandamakmak na batikos mula sa mga netizens ang ginawang birthday photo shoot ni Donnalyn Bartolome na kung saan makikita ang isang sexy baby.

Pahayag ng aktres, singer at vlogger, “Contradicting ‘tong shoot na ‘to kasi baby ako sa shoot na ‘to but it’s my actual first daring and sexy photoshoot. Susubukan ko lang kasi maybe it’s time.”

Kaya naman agad na nag-apologize si sa lahat nang naapektuhan ng latest pictorial para sa 28th birthday noong Saturday, July 9.

Reaksyon ng mga netizens, “As a public figure with high algorithmic engagements, you should have been more aware of all your actions. In a broader sense, this is something off and disturbing.

“Portraying babies as hot and mature seems inappropriate. This would actually feed perpetrators’ ego and sexually fantasies.”

“This is inappropriate and disturbing. Sexualizing babies is a No No!”

“Utang ng loob, leave the babies alone”

Kaya naglabas agad ng official statement si Donnalyn hinggil sa issue at hindi aware na maikokonek ang birthday pictorial niya sa child abuse.

“It was an honest mistake, it was never my intention to enable one of the most horrifying acts here on Earth,” panimula ni Donna.

“I couldn’t remove my post right away because I needed it to copyright the photos to prevent the spread of it furthermore until I got a go signal from Facebook and other socmed managers, an assurance that they know I am the owner of the photo and they’ll help me correct this by taking down all of the posts involving this photoshoot.

“You may help us by sending the links of the post of anyone who reposted this for any reason at all. (via message).”

Paliwanag pa niya, “Almost a million people across socmed platforms thought of it light and funny because they know my personality and didn’t look at it that way hence our initial reaction to the idea was the same.. but upon reading other people’s perspective, I completely agree.”

“I feel terrible, sick to my stomach and had disturbing flashbacks I’d rather not say. I was called crazy for being overprotective to all of my siblings, ones I took care of since they were babies.

“It has come to the point where I had to go to a psych to understand my actions because the level of protectiveness was quite extreme, all I’m saying is I’ve taken care of children since I was 11 years old, this was the last thing I would ever intend to do,” kuwento pa ng influencer.

Nagpasalamat din si Donnalyn sa kanyang mga followers:

“Thank you to everyone who let me know, especially those who did it so kindly, you’re the type of people who help me become a better person everyday as I hold the responsibility of influencing millions. It’s not easy.. but I’ll do my best.

“While you’re here. I’d like to use this attention for those who want to help abused children.. There is a care-facility I was admitted in when I was a minor: Nayon ng Kabataan.

“The children admitted there carry so much pain, you can donate or send them little gifts to make them feel better.

“Thanks everyone and I’m sorry.”

Dumagsa rin ang comments ng followers sa FB page niya na karamihan naman ay mga positive at natutuwa sa pag-admit sa mali niyang nagawa.
