In an unexpected turn of events, Vice Ganda has once again proven that he’s not one to shy away from confronting critics. This time, the target of his playful but pointed remarks is Cristy Fermin, a veteran showbiz columnist, who recently made some controversial comments about Vice during her show.

The Criticism that Sparked Vice’s Response

Cristy Fermin, known for her candid and sometimes harsh opinions about celebrities, recently took aim at Vice Ganda during an episode of her show, Cristy Ferminute. The renowned columnist made several remarks questioning Vice’s personal and professional choices, particularly in relation to his public image and his recent career moves.

Fermin criticized the comedian’s on-screen persona and hinted at the possibility that Vice Ganda might be losing some of his charm and appeal with the younger audience. She also made some comments about his alleged ego and how he’s becoming less approachable to both fans and colleagues in the industry.

“It seems like Vice is becoming too much of a diva lately. He’s not the same person we used to love. Hindi ko alam kung may pinagdadaanan siya, pero parang he’s becoming distant and unapproachable,” Cristy remarked.

Her comments immediately sparked heated discussions on social media, with fans either defending Vice or agreeing with Fermin’s take on the matter. But it was Vice’s reaction that quickly became the talk of the town.

Vice Ganda’s Playful Response: “Who Are You to Judge Me?”

During a recent episode of It’s Showtime, Vice Ganda took a moment to address Fermin’s remarks, and true to form, he delivered his response with his signature blend of humor and biting wit.

“Wow, Cristy, ikaw ba? Pati ba naman ako, pinapakialaman mo? Kung sinuman ako sa iyong mga mata, I’m still Vice Ganda, okay?” Vice said with a playful but pointed tone.

He then continued, “Sana hindi mo ako iniintindi masyado, ha! Kasi kung wala kang masabi tungkol sa sarili mong buhay, you have no right to talk about mine!” The audience roared with laughter, as Vice’s words cut through the tension, but at the same time, they sent a clear message that he wasn’t going to let Fermin’s criticisms slide.

A War of Words Between the Two Celebrities?

As expected, Cristy Fermin did not take Vice’s comments lying down. The showbiz columnist, known for being unafraid to speak her mind, took to social media to clarify her stance. Cristy expressed that she didn’t mean any harm with her remarks and that her comments were merely based on her observations of Vice’s recent behavior in the public eye.

“Hindi ko sinasadyang magbigay ng opinyon na makakasakit kay Vice. I was just saying what I feel. Lahat tayo may pagkakataong magbago, at sana mapansin ni Vice na may mga pagkakataong kailangan natin maging mas humble sa ating journey,” Cristy responded, defending her position.

However, despite her attempt to clarify, it seems that Vice Ganda’s fans have rallied behind him, and many are voicing their support through social media. Some fans are calling out Cristy for crossing a line by commenting on Vice’s personal life without fully understanding the context. Others are even accusing her of being too harsh and not appreciating the hard work Vice has put into maintaining his career.

Vice Ganda’s Reputation: A True Showman Who’s Not Afraid to Speak His Mind

While Vice’s retort was certainly filled with humor, it also carried a deeper message: he’s not afraid to defend himself when it comes to his personal life and career. Vice has always been known for his confidence, but he’s also not one to let anyone dictate how he should behave, whether it’s in terms of his public image or his approach to fame.

In his response, Vice emphasized that his personality and career are a product of years of hard work, and no one — not even a veteran showbiz personality like Cristy Fermin — has the right to judge him.

“I worked hard for everything I have today, and I’m not afraid to be true to myself. Kung sino man ako ngayon, I earned it. Hindi ako natatakot sa mga opinyon ng iba. I will continue to be me.” Vice said, looking directly into the camera.

Fans and supporters of Vice have also been quick to remind everyone that Vice Ganda’s success is not just about fame but about how he has connected with millions of people through his humor, compassion, and his message of self-love and acceptance.

What’s Next for Vice Ganda and Cristy Fermin?

As of now, it seems that both Vice Ganda and Cristy Fermin are standing by their statements, but it remains to be seen whether this back-and-forth will continue. What’s clear, however, is that Vice has once again demonstrated his confidence and his ability to deflect criticism with humor and grace.

For Vice, this is just another day in the life of a showbiz icon, who has endured both love and hate from fans and critics alike. And while Cristy Fermin may have hoped to offer constructive criticism, Vice’s reaction shows that he’s not someone who will quietly take jabs without defending his place in the entertainment world.

As for Cristy, it’s unlikely she’ll back down either, knowing her history of speaking her mind on controversial issues. One thing is certain: the feud between Vice Ganda and Cristy Fermin has provided fans with yet another juicy topic to discuss, as the drama continues to unfold.

Will this war of words turn into a full-blown rivalry, or will both celebrities call a truce? Only time will tell. But for now, the social media war between Vice Ganda and Cristy Fermin is heating up, and fans are waiting for the next episode of this ongoing celebrity feud.
