After a video of Alex Gonzaga smearing icing on a waiter’s face made rounds on social media, several celebrities including Kris Lawrence, Rhap Salazar and social media personality Sassa Gurl expressed their sentiments on the matter.

Lawrence also pointed out how people “always have something negative to say,” stressing how the waiter would “probably get something” and “be grateful” after what happened. He said this through a comment on INQUIRER.net’s Instagram post on Tuesday, Jan. 17.

The R&B singer then clarified that he was not justifying Gonzaga’s actions but was just speaking against “bullying.”

“Let’s fast forward and after this event that waiter just went viral, will probably get ‘something’ after, and a LOT of sympathy. Most recognition he ever got as a waiter,” he wrote. “So after all the noise…I’m sure he will be grateful that this happened. Looks like people just like to extract the negative out of things instead of the positive.”

Salazar, for his part, made his comments on the icing-smearing incident by sharing a re-uploaded video of Gonzaga and the waiter with a caption, “Bastos! Walang respeto! (Rude! Disrespectful!),” also through his Twitter page.

Sassa Gurl then quipped how the actress lived up to the title of her 2022 film “The Entitled” where the two of them worked together.
