Justin drew flak from netizens after his insensitive remark to fellow housemate Jie-Ann Armero. Jie-Ann later explained the lack of water supply in their home, fanning the firestorm on social media.
Meanwhile, Justin already asked frogiveness to another housemate Jie-Ann Armero.
He said, “If ever you felt offended with those jokes, I wanna say sorry for saying those jokes to you ’cause they were insensitive. I’ll try to be more sensitive.”
Before the incident, Justin already had a reputation amongst netizens because of his controversial posts and outspoken remarks against President Rodrigo Duterte. Netizens also called out Justin because of his elitist and insensitive remarks on social media. Because of this, he often receives the ire from both Die-Hard Duterte Supporters and Non-DDS netizens.
