Filipino television host, actor, and weather anchor, Alejandro Ilagan Atienza, known professionally as Kim Atienza or Kuya Kim has been accused of being a “sawsawero” after dropping a comment on vlogger Donnalyn Bartolome’s post.
Bartolome has become a social media sensation after making a distasteful comment. In a screenshot she shared, one of her followers acknowledged her attractiveness.
“Grabe ang ganda nyo po. Nakakainsecure po talaga, lalo pag tumitingin na ako sa salamin after giving birth,” the netizen wrote.
Instead of just taking the compliment, Bartolome joked that despite her beauty, no one had ever tried to get her pregnant. She responded, “Ako walang bumubuntis. Parang talo mo ako sa ganda huwag ka nang ma-insecure diyan ha.”
Bartolome then said that pregnant women shouldn’t feel insecure about physical changes to their bodies.
number one mantra ni Donnalyn, dapat grateful ka lang palagi. No matter what. And kung may naka experience man ng mga problema, siya lang dapat yun kasi pinagdaanan niya naman daw. pic.twitter.com/UlK8TEvEVM

She has since deleted the post following backlash from netizens.
Meanwhile, Atienza decided to say something about the matter.
“Hope all is well,” he commented.
This prompted netizens to tell him to mind his own business.

Atienza has recently been snooping around on other celebrities’ issues. Most recently, he consoled ‘It’s Showtime’ host Karylle after Vice Ganda seemingly “disrespected” her on live TV.

Netizens questioned why he had to make public his remarks, calling him an “attention-seeker”.
