Kapuso actress Jasmine Curtis-Smith agreed with Janine Gutierrez’s reaction to the TV comeback of actor-politician Bong Revilla Jr.
In an interview with PUSH, Jasmine was asked about the controversial TV comeback of Bong Revilla Jr.
“In that case itself specifically, wala akong masabi maybe just, ‘I second you, Janine.’ Gano’n na lang,” said Jasmine.
“Let’s prioritize the stories we want to tell the people [and who] we want to put up on the stage and showcase.
“Because ang mga taong nilalagay natin sa mga entabladong ‘yan, hindi lang sila entertainment, but also they are a source of inspiration, so I think when it comes to choosing a cast, or stories to tell, we should be a bit more sensitive nowadays,” she added.
Janine has been at the center of controversy after her two-word tweet made rounds on social media and touched the nerve of talent manager-columnist Lolit Solis.
Janine’s tweet
On December 18, Janine tweeted “Oh God” in response to GMA Network’s announcement about the upcoming Kapuso show of Sen. Revilla Jr.

But not all agreed with her, most especially Lolit Solis who slammed her via a lengthy Instagram post.
In her Instagram post, Lolit blasted Janine for being “so cruel” not to give Revilla Jr. a second chance.
Solis also brought up Janine’s poor box office and TV ratings performance which according to her would not help Revilla’s comeback.
“Buti na lang at hindi siya naging box office queen na sana makatulong para sa career ni Bong, dahil wala pa naman ako narinig na naging blockbuster movie niya, or tv show na naging sobra ang taas ng rating, kaya hindi din siya makakatulong sa career ni Bong Revilla,” Lolit added.
