NAGPALIWANAG ang award-winning international singer-actress na si Lea Salonga sa viral video na pinagpipiyestahan ngayon sa social media.
Ito yung video na ipinost ng isang fan na nagngangalang Cristopher Retokelly Carpila, sa Facebook kung saan mapapanood ang pagtanggi ni Lea sa request nilang magpa-picture habang siya’y nasa loob kanyang dressing room pagkatapos ng kanilang play na “Here Lies Love.”
Ipinaliwanag ni Lea sa mga fans na hindi niya maaaring paunlakan ang nais ng mga fans na magpa-picture sa naturang area “for security purposes” at wala rin umano sa guest list ang mga ito.
“Unless you are on the guest list, we cannot have you back here. So, you have to go to the door. I’m sorry because if I allow this now, then other people are gonna take advantage of this,” sey ni Lea sa mga fans.

May nagsabi naman na kasama sila ng isa sa mga producers ng show at na-mention pa ng mga ito ang aktres na si G Tongi.
Nang lumabas na ng dressing room si Lea ay nagsunuran na rin ang mga fans at pinagbigyan din ang mga ito sa request nilang pagpapa-selfie. In fairness, si Lea pa nga ang pumili ng lugar kung saan sila pwedeng magpiktyuran.
“Please don’t do this again,” ang paalala pa sa kanila ni Lea.
Sa kanyang Twitter account, sinabi ng singer na kinausap niya si G Tongi at tinanong kung kilala nito ang mga nagpakilalang fans sa kanya, “I checked in with G after that happened… she had no idea who they were.”
Sinagot din niya ang tweet ng colleague natin sa entertainment media na si Ruel Mendoza na nagtanong about the issue, “Actually, we have multiple levels of security at the theater.

“But I had a ton of guests that night and perhaps they folded right into them. Security policies have been even more tightened. Thanks for your concern.”
Aniya pa sa isang tweet, “Just a reminder… I have boundaries. Do not cross them. Thank you.”

Narito naman ang mga reaksyon ng netizens.
“Lea Salonga was not wrong to insist on respecting her personal space in this instance. These ‘fans’ are beyond entitled and rude. But my key takeaway here is there’s no one managing or securing their backstage area?”
“With all these Lea Salonga dressing room fiascos, all I can say is Lea’s true fan wouldn’t dare to do what those people did! All these years she taught us how to respect her boundaries and have a so-called etiquette!”
“I feel like Filipino fans are some of the most entitled fans there are. Something about our culture makes fans believe that artists owe them and that they are beholden to them somehow.”
“Lea Salonga was not wrong to insist on respecting her personal space in this instance. These ‘fans’ are beyond entitled and rude. But my key takeaway here is there’s no one managing or securing their backstage area?”
“If totoo mang pinapasok kayo ng guard, why didn’t you tell it in the first place? Para alam din ni Ms. Lea Salonga na pinapasok kayo ng mismong guard. Hindi ‘yung basta-basta kayong pumasok. Para, masabihan niya mismo ‘yung guard na nagpapasok sa inyo do’n.”
“Another issue nanaman jusko mga taong to… Tama naman si Lea eh.. and di naman porket sikat ka eh dapat iwelcome mo lahat ng tao sa kwarto mo kahit di mo kilala hindi naman dapat ganun ehehe OA lang mga tao ngayon!!! Ito rin kasi mga fans basta basta pumapasok.”
“Jusko hindi naman pala fan ni Coach Lea Salonga ‘tong sumugod sa Dressing Room niya. Sharonian pala amp*tah! Kakairita! Naawa ako kay CL kasi parang nainvade nila ang privacy. As a fantard of Coach Sarah Geronimo hindi kami ganito ka-kupal. Nakakahiya kayo.”
“Worked with Coach Lea for all seasons of The Voice. Kahit staff kami, never kaming basta basta papasok sa dressing room para magpapicture or humingi ng favor unless alam ng prod or about sa work. Sobrang ingat namin sa kanya dahil LEA SALONGA yan. These people are so entitled.”
“So this was that Lea Salonga video. Huhuhu! How did the fans reach her dressing room though? Walang security sa backstage? Lea is still mabait at pinagbigyan ang mga fans.”
“Di ko maimagine na ganyan pala siya makipag-usap sa fans I cannot kapatid Cristopher Retokelly Carpila nagawa mo pang purihin siya nonono… para akong nasaktan the way siya makipag-usap sa inyo.”
“Kung ako kay Ms. Lea sana pinagbigyan na lang doon mismo sa labas ng dressing room niya.”
“Sana hindi na lang pinalaki, doon mismo sa labas ng dressing room puwede naman.”
“I feel bad for fans kung pinapasok na raw sila ng guard, hindi lang siguro informed si Ms. Lea.”
Kyle inaming may boundaries sila ni Francine; may pasaring nga ba sa SethDrea?
