Pia Wurtzbach Claps Back at ‘Divorced, Single Mom’ Insult with a Powerful Message
PIA WURTZBACH – Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach hit back hard at a hurtful comment that wished her to become a “divorced, single mom.”
Pia Wurtzbach recently hit back at a hurtful message she received from a netizen who wished her to become a “divorced single mother.” The comment, which was sent via direct message (DM), deeply upset the Miss Universe 2015 titleholder, who took to social media to call out the toxic behavior.
In her post, Wurtzbach described the comment as “exhausting and hurtful,” urging her followers to embrace kindness and discourage online bullying. “Just another day, another DM. Wild, right? C’mon people. Bagong taon na (it’s a new year already). Nag CNY pa (Chinese New Year also passed). It’s exhausting and hurtful, din ha,” she wrote. Wurtzbach emphasized that it’s time to stop normalizing such online behavior, adding, “Out na natin yung ganito (let’s remove this) for 2025, and instead, let’s be nice to each other and support and uplift one another.”
Along with the “divorced, single mother” remark, the netizen also criticized Wurtzbach’s financial situation, claiming that she couldn’t afford a unique Hermes design. Despite the negativity, Pia remained resilient and used the opportunity to encourage a culture of positivity.
This incident comes shortly after Wurtzbach confirmed she would be skipping Paris Fashion Week, which took place from January 27 to 30. Despite missing out on the event, 2024 has been a groundbreaking year for the beauty queen. Wurtzbach declared it her “most successful year yet,” as she graced prominent runways and attended top fashion shows across Milan, Paris, and New York. Her success has earned her a spot among the world’s most visible fashion influencers, with an impressive $38.4 million in earned media value (EMV) and a 1.1 percent average engagement rate. She ranked 18th on the list, joining global icons like Jisoo and Rosé of Blackpink, Kim Kardashian, Cha Eun-woo, and Kendall Jenner.
In addition to this recognition, Pia Wurtzbach was also named a top influencer for the Milan Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2025 womenswear edition, cementing her status as a global fashion powerhouse.
