Mariel Rodriguez admitted that she gets hurt when people call her fat, saying that she is only human.
On April 5, on Ogie Diaz’s YouTube vlog, Rodriguez said that she could not blame people for calling her fat because it is true.
“May pakialam ako kasi tao ako, masakit. Pero kaya lang, hindi ko naman sila masisisi dahil totoo.”
Rodriguez shared that she is still not trying to slim down because she still has no plans to return to showbiz.
“It’s just that wala pa ako dun sa phase na yun. Hindi ko pa talaga siya magawa. Siguro, yung drive nawala because before alam ko babalik ako sa showbiz, e, kaya kailangan magpapayat ako talaga agad kasi babalik ako, e.”
Rodriguez got asked about what was the most hurtful comment she received about her weight gain.
“Bashing? Siguro yung pinakanakakainis ay ‘Papalitan ka ni Robin kasi mataba ka.’ Parang ganun, to that effect. But you know what, Robin has never complained.”
Now, Rodriguez is focusing on raising her children with Robin Padilla.
“E, right now nasa bahay lang ako, e, akala ng mga anak ko kutson ako. ‘Pag nanonood ng TV, kailangan nakapatong sila sa akin. O minsan, kumakain sila, nakapatong, lalo na yung bunso ko, akala niya kutson ako. Sarap na sarap sila sa body ko,” she added.
