It has been a year and a half since Paolo Contis’ controversial breakup with LJ Reyes, but the actor continues to get hateful comments on social media every so often.
But while he has read and heard some of the “worst things” anyone can say, the actor insisted that he’s largely unbothered by these and that the public’s scorn never really got to him.
“People tell me, ‘Ba’t buhay ka pa?’ or ‘Mamatay ka na.’ It’s no secret that the past year or so has been rough. But honestly, if you ask me whether or not I get affected by other people’s comments, the answer is no. They have nothing to do with my life,” Paolo told reporters on a recent visit to the set of his upcoming movie, “Ikaw at Ako.”
“The issues I need to face are very private and I will fix them privately. For some reason, there are people who think that what you post is the complete truth. And what you don’t post must have never happened,” he said.
In 2021, Paolo hogged show biz headlines after he unfollowed then partner LJ Reyes and deleted all her photos from his Instagram account. Later on, he was spotted in Baguio City with actress and his “A Faraway Land” leading lady, Yen Santos, fueling speculations that infidelity was the reason behind his split with LJ.
While Paolo regrets being “marupok” in the course of his six-year relationship with LJ, he insisted in a statement that Yen had nothing to do with it.
The furor was expected. But at the end of the day, he believes that he’s accountable only to the people directly involved in the issue and the loved ones dragged into the fray.
“I did bad things, I know that.
