This revelation from her garnered various reactions from the online community but mostly, netizens are criticizing the Kapuso journalist for what he allegedly did.

Some said that Arnold Clavio took advantage of a vulnerable minor at that time while some stressed that he should be punished for what he did. On the other hand, there were those who said that it is just a propaganda against him from DDS or supporters of President Rodrigo Duterte.

It is because, just recently, the journalist had a fiery attack against the Chief Executive. Here are some of the comments on this issue against Clavio.

Nakakahiya ka Arnold Clavio. Nawala ang respeto ko sa iyo. Umalis ka na sa GMA. Baka madamay pa mga kasamahan mo dyan.
