- “The Voice Kids” alumnus Juan Karlos Labajo defended himself over Darren Espanto’s allegations.
- JK wasn’t happy about his former BFF, Darren’s actions.
Just this afternoon, Espanto didn’t mince words towards Labajo when he publicly called out his former BFF about a tweet from his alleged account which read “@darrenespanto1 gayness at its finest”.
Darren pointed out that JK was just claiming that his account got hacked to get him off-the-hook or clean his image and not get accountable for the said tweet.
“Timing ‘no? Dinelete ng “hacker” mo yung tweet na ‘to after kang kausapin ng management. ‘Pag nahanap mo yung hacker mo puntahan niyo ako para malaman niyo kung sino yung totoong BAKLA,” Espanto posted on Twitter.
Labajo responded to Espanto: “again @Espanto2001 i tried talking to you in private but you started this. gusto mo bastusan tandaan mo mas bastos ako sayo.”
Labajo responded by saying that he already talked to Espanto about this issue privately, but Darren chose to air it out in public.
Juan Karlos Labajo speaks out (Deleted tweets)
In a now-deleted tweet, Labajo trackbacked the issue during his “Pinoy Big Brother” stint.
He alluded to a previous issue which is believed to be the reason behind the falling out between the two “The Voice Kids” finalists. During his stay in the “Pinoy Big Brother” house in 2016, Labajo was overheard talking to fellow housemates about a certain “papa biritera” who many assumed to be his then-BFF.
He denied he was referring to Darren who he considered as a brother since they first met on The Voice. He also expressed sadness over Espanto choosing his fans over the said issue.
He then addressed Darrenatics and said that he’s not playing victim.
After airing his sentiments on Twitter, Labajo opted to delete his tweets.
JK continues
On his Twitter account, Labajo left some posts denying “gayness at its finest” tweet which resulted to Espanto attacking him.
“para sa mga taong nagmamahal sakin mga solid kayo kayo ang nagpapadaloy sa dugo ko. mahal ko kayo. para naman sa mga haters kayo nagpapadugo sa utak ko hahaha”
“alam ko pagkakamaling ginawa ko kasi i was explaining myself out of anger. pasensiya na sa mga taong nasaktan sa mga salitang nabitawan ko.”
“and di ko lang kayang gawin ay humingi ng patawad sa mga bagay na hindi ko ginawa. mamatay man lahat ng tao na mahal ko at nagmamahal sakin per once and for all, hindi ako ang nag tweet nun at hindi siya ang pinaguusapan namin sa pbb dati. yun lang yun.”
“it’s so hard to defend yourself because the more you do it mas hindi na kapanipaniwala. pero kung tatahi-tahimik ka lang din, para ka naring nag admit na tama mga hinala nila. gulo ng sistema diba?”
“eh kasi hindi nga ako ang nagtweet. siyemprr yun yung unang papasok sa kokote mo diba? tapos sabi ng kuya ko baka edited daw para siraan ako so ginawa ko rin siyang possible reason.”
