Singer-actress Jessa Zaragoza, Jayda’s mother, earlier called out her daughter’s bashers who tweeted “Kill that girl”, referring to Jayda.
Zaragoza, in an Instagram post, said her daughter has been receiving “below the belt” direct messages from her bashers, telling her offensive words.
“Naisip ko, talagang sumobra sobra na kayo. Pinagpasensyahan na nga lang namin mag asawa yung mga kung ano-anong pinapadala nyong direct messages kay Jayda, Zaragoza wrote on her Instagram post. / gsg
