SB19’s Stell comes to Justin’s defense amid ‘toxic’ accusations

Stell Ajero defended his fellow SB19 member Justin De Dios, slamming a netizen who claimed that the latter ruins friendships within the group because of his supposed toxicity.

Ajero did not hold back as he responded to an X user through his page on Friday, April 17.

“Tama nga si Pablo. Wala sa mukha pero napaka toxic pala ni Justin,” the netizen said in a now-deleted post. “Gusto ko pa naman friendship nila ni Stell, pero di mo malalaman just by looking at it na napaka-toxic pala. Cancer nga. Literal na sumisira ng friendship.”

(Pablo is right. It does not show in his face, but Justin is actually very toxic. I even liked his friendship with Stell, but you wouldn’t know just by looking at it that he’s that toxic. He’s like cancer—literally destroying friendships.)

Ajero belied this as he wrote, “Sino ka naman para magsabi ng ganyan?! Ikaw yung toxic sa totoo lang.” (Who are you to say that? You’re the one who’s actually toxic.)

He further urged the netizen to delete the post and stop spreading such claims.

“Hindi ko kailangan ng suporta mo kung ganyan ka sa mga kagrupo ko,” Ajero added. (I don’t need your support if that’s how you treat my groupmates.)

Ajero received admiration from the fans of their group, dubbed as A’TIN, who expressed their support to the quintet.

Sino ka naman para magsabi ng ganyan?! Ikaw yung toxic sa totoo lang. Tumigil ka. Hindi ko kailangan ng suporta mo kung ganyan ka sa mga kagrupo ko. Delete mo ‘to.
