EJ Obiena answered the issues being spread between him and Carlos Yulo
Pole vault champion EJ Obiena slammed the fake news about him and two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo.
EJ is apparently being dragged into the issues that have been attacked to Carlos’s name after his victorious Olympic stint. In a recent Facebook post, EJ called out the public’s attention not to believe the issues being raised between him and Carlos.
Point by point, EJ clarified the issue. First and foremost, he said that he and Caloy have been friends for many years and that there is no competition between them.
EJ also said that he respects and supports Carlos and that he is definitely proud of the gymnast. The pole vault champion addressed the allegation that he made a comment on Caloy’s private life.
“I HAVE NEVER MADE A SINGLE COMMENT regarding Caloy’s private life and I never shall,” EJ said. Anything contradictory to what he said, EJ stressed would be “outright libel” and that he knows when speaking is needed and when it is not.
He also said that people can ask him or check his social media pages. EJ pointed out that people should not be carried away by click bait sites that are just making up stories. For him, this is not journalism.
Then, the pole vault champion that this was all just what he could say about this and that he would be focused on getting ready for the upcoming season. “Let’s focus on cheering our athletes on, instead of creating false drama to sell advertising space,” he added.
In the comment section of his post, EJ Obiena received support from the online community. “EJ, you are the best example of GMRC. Kudos!” a netizen commented.
It is known to many Filipinos that Carlos Yulo and his family became a controversial topic on social media because of the feud between them which also involved his girlfriend Chloe San Jose.
