Nico Bolzico, Wil Dasovich at Raymond Gutierrez
FRESH na fresh pa rin sa isipan ng proud LGBTQIA+ member na si Raymond Gutierrez ang pambu-bully sa kanya ng ilang celebrities noong nagsisimula pa lang ang kanyang hosting career.
Nagkuwento ang kakambal ni Richard Gutierrez sa podcast ng sikat na vlogger na si Wil Dasovich na mapapanood sa YouTube at may titulong “How Fellow GMA Artistas Bullied Mond for Being Gay”.
Ayon kay Mond, hinding-hindi raw niya makakalimutan ang mga naranasang pang-ookray ng ilang celebrities noong maging host siya sa ilang shows ng GMA 7.
“I would walk down the hallway in GMA and they would be like, ‘Yan yung bakla, di ba?’ Things like that.
“I could definitely hear them and they know that I could hear them. But they would really just taunt me in that way,” simulang pagbabahagi ni Raymond.
May pagkakataon daw na natatakot siyang makihalubilo sa mga kapwa celebrities noong panahong yun lalo pa’t pilit pa niyang itinatago ang kanyang tunay na gender.
“I was scared sometimes to enter the dressing rooms. I was scared sometimes to walk the hallways because I would hear those things. Most of them were older artistas.
“That was when I was new and I kind of proved myself in the industry and now we have mutual respect. But you know I’m not asking for an apology or anything like that.
“I’m just sharing what I was going through at that time. I think at that time I was new and was hosting. I think some people were also threatened that I was gunning for their jobs,” patuloy pang pagbabalik-tanaw ni Raymond na last year lang nag-come out bilang miyembro ng LGBTQ community.
Samantala, inamin din ni Wil sa nasabing video na biktima rin siya ng matinding bullying sa showbiz, lalo na nang matapos ang journey niya sa 7th edition ng “Pinoy Big Brother” noong 2017.
Nakilala siya sa loob ng Bahay ni Kuya at ng mga manonood bilang “The Cool-It Vlogger of Pampanga.”
“When I was vlogging, when I was having small roles when I was on television shows, they all looked down upon me and there were really big artistas that were so rude to me.
“I got like kicked out of the artista room because they didn’t understand me. I had too much energy as a kid,” pag-alala ng ex-boyfriend ni Alodia Gosiengfiao.
At kung may isang kilalang celebrity raw na hindi malilimutan ni Wil ay si Eddie Gutierrez, ang tatay ni Raymond na nakatrabaho niya noon sa isang project.
“He didn’t hang out in the artista room. He sat outside. We had a sandwich together. He’s just talking to me in his Elvis Presley hair and he was like in a suit and everything. At the end of the day, that’s what it is.
“When people are rude or mean to you or upset, it’s just because they’re insecure with something within themselves which is their job,” ang paniniwala ni Wil.
Pahayag pa niya tungkol sa naranasang pambu-bully noon, “When I was getting bullied before I had a name or anything, I thrived out of that dark energy. Like that gave me motivation, even more motivation to succeed.
“I don’t know if it’s a healthy thing but it worked int he short term to get me to like keep studying and working harder,” sabi pa ng vlogger na kasalukuyang nakabase sa Amerika tulad ni Raymond.
