BAGAMAT hindi siya pinangalanan ay pumalag si Jim Paredes sa blind item sa kanya ng singer na si Mocha Uson. “Boyoboy! What can I say? What some ppl will do. A few years back, I interviewed Mocha Uson, entertainer, dancer and self-proclaimed sex instructor on youtube who was getting millions of hits on her blog.
“Lo and behold! From out of the blue, she recently lambasted me on her site because I am not for Duterte. She made twisted comments about me which I suppose is for the purpose of discrediting me. I interviewed her in 2012. That was the first and last time we ever met.”
That was Jim’s initial aria. Then came his response to Mocha’s accusation. “Mocha naman. We are all entitled to our own opinion. My beef with Duterte is human rights.
“I interviewed you extensively sometime ago to write an article for my column but editor said it was not for Sunday reading. Yes, my interview with you was a largely about your sexual persona and you knew it was about that prior to the interview.
You volunteered a lot of lurid info even without my asking. You like sex and you are proud to be an advocate of free sex. Nothing wrong with that. “Did I ask those things you said I did? I honestly cant remember.
I can look for the audio. You were very candid, almost bragging pa nga which from an interviewers point of view is great. From what you told me I don’t think anything can shock you.
I think you are exaggerating your reaction. You are certainly not a blushing flower. “But there was MUCH MORE to the interview. I also asked you about your childhood.
Your mom who is a pediatrician and cancer survivor, your dad who was a judge and was murdered, where you went to school, how you felt about the murder and so many other things.
I wanted to understand where you were coming from since your public persona is about sex and your sites were getting millions of hits. “I also wanted a perspective where I could humanize you and bring out other aspects of you aside from what was obvious.
“I think its pretty darn cheap of you to twist things just because you hate my politics. Labo nun. I treated with great respect. I did no harm to you. I will post the article if you wish.
Let me find it. “Here is the article that never saw print. Did I insult you? Make you bastos? Or was your imagined reaction caused by your political intolerance? Be honest girl!”
We read Jim’s article on Mocha and we didn’t find it offensive. He did a very well-written piece about the singer.Ano naman kaya ang magiging sagot dito ni Mocha? Sino nga kaya sa kanila ang nagsasabi ng totoo at nagsisinungaling? Well, you guess is as good as mine.
