In a shocking turn of events, Kim Chiu—one of the most beloved stars of It’s Showtime—is now facing an MTRCB complaint after a set of controversial remarks she made recently, sending shockwaves through the It’s Showtime family. The situation has left her co-stars—Ryan Bang, Vice Ganda, Anne Curtis, and the rest of the crew—deeply concerned, as they fear the ramifications this incident could have on the beloved noontime show.
What Happened?
The controversy started when Kim Chiu made some unfiltered comments during a live episode of It’s Showtime, which many viewers found inappropriate and offensive. While her remarks were made in a light-hearted manner, they quickly escalated into a heated topic, sparking backlash from viewers and netizens alike. Some took offense to the nature of her comments, while others questioned whether she had gone too far in her humor.
As the backlash grew, some viewers filed a formal complaint with the MTRCB (Movie and Television Review and Classification Board), alleging that Kim’s remarks violated the guidelines for responsible content. The MTRCB, known for regulating and overseeing TV broadcasts in the Philippines, has since taken notice of the incident and is investigating the matter. This has caused a ripple effect within the It’s Showtime family, who are now facing the possibility of a formal reprimand or even sanctions.

Ryan Bang, who has been a long-time friend of Kim, posted a heartfelt message on Instagram:
“Kim is one of the kindest people I know. What she said was just a slip of the tongue. I know her intentions were never to hurt anyone.”
Meanwhile, Vice Ganda, known for his own boundary-pushing humor, also weighed in, commenting:
“We all make mistakes, and we all have moments of misjudgment. Kim is one of the best people in this industry, and I hope this blows over quickly. We’ve all been there.”
Anne Curtis, ever the supportive friend, shared an emotional post, asking for patience and understanding from their fans:
