Kris Aquino came out swinging against The Philippine Star entertainment editor Ricky Lo after the latter wrote a story about the her son Bimby being \u201ca no show\u201d at the first birthday party of his half-brother MJ last Saturday, August 12.<\/p>\n

\u201c@therealrickylo won’t man up & admit his Monday @philstarnews headline had no factual basis,\u201d the TV host posted on Instagram today.<\/p>\n

Kris\u2019s statement came after her disappointment over Lo\u2019s column on August 15 titled \u201cBimby no-show at MJ\u2019s party.\u201d<\/p>\n

MJ is the son of James Yap, Kris’s ex-husband, with his Italian girlfriend Michela Cazzola.<\/p>\n

Lo has written a follow-up article today saying that he received a \u201cmouthful” from Cazzola, who clarified that she had set a prior agreement with Kris that the kids are comfortable if they meet in private rather than at a party.<\/p>\n

Lo also hinted that Cazzola was angry at how his article may have sparked unwanted rumors about her and Kris\u2019s unusual family set-up.<\/p>\n

Kris was reminded by Lo at the end of his article to refrain from posting Instagram pictures of her children if she doesn\u2019t want them exposed to \u201charm\u2019s way.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA word for Kris and other showbiz denizens who can\u2019t help decorating the social media with posts of their children. Before Kris and other soc-med savvy moms scold people and remind them to please spare the innocents, they should be the first to spare their children by keeping them away from the social media. Otherwise, they themselves are (maybe unwittingly) putting their children in, well, \u201charm\u2019s way\u201d,\u201d Lo wrote.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, in the continuation of her Instagram post today, the \u2018Queen of all Media\u2019 accused the veteran columnist of \u201cdeflecting the issue\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cCan you fault any mother or father, whether celebrity or non celeb for being proud of their children & wanting to share their love & pride w\/ their circle- in our case it’s a much bigger circle?… Simpleng tanong, may connection ba ang IG pictures namin nila Kuya Josh & Bimb sa Birthday ni MJ? \u2026 Or is this a case of trying to deflect an issue by pinning the blame at someone who tried her best to keep quiet for the sake of peace?,\u201d Kris posted.<\/p>\n

\u201cHarm only comes our children’s way when there are exploitative, unverified headlines\u2026 And everybody who has bashed Kuya Josh or Bimb on IG has tasted the fire of my words in defending them- expressed w\/ dignity & based on facts because i was raised to remain polite even when dealing w\/ pambabastos…,\u201d Kris added.<\/p>\n

Kris also slammed Ricky for implying that the whole mix-up may have motivated the \u201cproverbial hornet’s nest.”<\/p>\n

Kris said she will not cover up James’s “shortcomings” as a father this time around.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour article pointed out a hornet’s nest, I’d like to believe you & Star readers are intelligent\u2026 Isn’t it telling that Mic & I have communication, i like & respect her, while James & Bimb don’t keep in touch?… The 2 moms have tried our best to keep this fact private for the sake of our 2 boys- BUT why protect someone who didn’t tell the truth?,\u201d Kris said. \u201cMic told him Bimb’s decision w\/c i fully supported for my sons to not attend the party but have a get together privately in Mic’s new place or our new home\u2026 35 yrs old na si James, I won’t cover up for his shortcomings\u2026I don’t need to say more- because my sons know how much their mom loves them & for me that’s my priority.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI agree though i spent a sleepless night thinking very carefully about the proper amount of exposure i should share about our family life- especially because I’m only now confronting this\u2026Kuya Josh is a special child & God shielded him from being cognizant of some of the cruelty thrown our way- but Bimb is intelligent, innately curious and even more articulate than his mother\u2026And 10-14 years old are crucial years in his intellectual, emotional & psychological development\u2026Special thanks to Miguel Belmonte for keeping communication lines open & understanding my sentiments as a mother\u2026Tito Ricky, BINILIN ako ni auntie Betty Go Belmonte sa yo, sana mabalik ang respeto at pagmamahal,\u201d Kris added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
