“I saw you on that show with vice ganda n her gang. I have to say it doesn’t suit you. You come across as a smarter actress and intelligent filmmaker. All these nonsense show with their stupid cheap jokes at the expense of their guests is not you. I’m just saying,” the commenter wrote.

She argued that true intelligence is about being adaptable to different environments. Bela emphasized how much she enjoys her time on “It’s Showtime,” where she regularly guest hosts.

Likewise, she highlighted her love for interacting with people, making them laugh, and being able to laugh at herself, showing her humility.

“I totally disagree. If one is truly smart, they can adapt to any environment. I always have the best time when I’m on showtime…I genuinely love talking to people and making them laugh and I am self deprecating enough to be laughed at too so it goes both ways…I’ve been regularly visiting showtime since 2017 and I’m lucky that Vice and “her gang” always make me feel welcome and never oblige me to let go of what I really am, which is a filmmaker,” the actress penned.
