Klea Pineda Claps Back at Bashers Targeting Her & Janella Salvador
KLEA PINEDA – After enduring months of cruel online remarks, Kapuso star Klea Pineda has finally decided to speak up — and her emotional message about cyberbullying is hitting fans hard.
Kapuso actress Klea Pineda has had enough of the constant hate and disrespect she receives from judgmental people on social media. Known for her grace and professionalism, the actress has long chosen to stay silent amid the criticism—but this time, she decided to speak up and defend herself.
In an emotional video posted on Instagram, Klea, who is a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community, opened up about the heavy online bashing she continues to endure. “I don’t know why but I just really feel like speaking up about ‘online bashing.’ I think this might actually be the first time I’m ever doing this,” began the rumored partner of actress Janella Salvador.
She went on to share how relentless the negativity has been toward her physical appearance, fashion choices, and lifestyle. “First of all, I’m one of those people who still experiences heavy bashing online about my physical appearance, how I dress, the way I create my content, how I carry myself, even my skin color. And then there are all the things people accuse me of without even knowing the real story or what’s actually happening in my personal life,” she said.
Klea admitted that despite her calm and confident image, she still feels hurt and affected by the cruel comments, especially when her family becomes a target as well. “Let me tell you this, it’s not easy. It’s not easy waking up in the morning, checking your phone, and the first thing you see are hurtful words from strangers who don’t even know you. I’ve promised myself so many times that I’d stop reading the comments just to protect my mental health,” she confessed.
She explained how difficult it is to stay strong when she encounters hateful remarks, even when she’s simply expressing joy through her posts. “It sounds simple, right? But it’s hard… Some of the comments just hit differently. You have no idea how damaging words can be, how they can break someone emotionally and mentally,” she added.
In her closing message, Klea reminded everyone to practice kindness and empathy online. “I’m sharing this because I want people to be more aware of how their words can affect someone… Please don’t be the reason someone gives up on life. Be an inspiration instead. Help lift others up… Stop the hate. Be kind.”
Based on online comments, much of the bashing stems from her rumored relationship with Janella Salvador, with some netizens criticizing her sexuality. Despite the negativity, many have come to Klea and Janella’s defense, expressing support and admiration for their courage to live authentically.
