MANILA, Philippines – Apparently, some netizens were particularly harsh against actress Anne Curtis even when she got stung by a jellyfish, calling the incident Curtis’ “karma.”
The actress was stung by a box jellyfish during the shooting of her latest “fantaserye” on Wednesday night. The sting caused a huge rash on Anne’s right side.
But the image failed to evoke sympathy from some netizens. One even called the incident Curtis’ “karma,” while another said she “deserved” getting stung.
Twitter users were reacting to recent raucous incidents that involved the Fil-Aussie actress when she had too many drinks. One was when she slapped a couple of people, including actor John Lloyd Cruz, at an upscale club in Taguig on November 23 last year.
The latest incident this time involved Sam Concepcion, the rumored boyfriend of Curtis’ sister Jasmine Curtis-Smith.
Philippine Entertainment Portal reported that Curtis shouted at Concepcion when she caught him talking to girls in a club. She reportedly told Concepcion: “You’re not classy enough to be here!” Anne has denied the report.
The netizens’ reactions bothered Curtis’ younger sister Curtis-Smith, who posted on Twitter her dismay about the bashing.

Please pray for my sister’s well being. She was stung by a box jellyfish, considered to be one of the deadliest.. It hurts me to see some saying that she deserved this when no one deserves to be in risk in terms of health. How could anyone wish this upon another?
“It hurts me to see some saying that she deserved this when no one deserves to be in risk in terms of health. How could anyone wish this upon another?” Curtis-Smith tweeted.
Curtis’ bashers also hurt her boyfriend Erwan Heusaff, who called the netizens “judgemental asses.”
Some netizens still expressed their support for Curtis, with a couple saying they feel “bad” for Anne.
Even others made jokes about the incident, noting that the jellyfish must have been “classy” enough to sting Curtis
Curtis is confined in St. Luke’s Medical Center in Bonifacio Global City where the doctors were monitoring her heart beat.
Curtis on Friday tweeted that she is now out of harm.
Thank you my sweethearts for all your messages. I am officially out of the danger zone. Just have one more test for my heart..
The actress also said she is “glad to be alive.”
