Fil-Am content creator Bretman Rock debuts in his own reality show, 'MTV Following: Bretman Rock'
Filipino-American social media star Bretman Rock is now also a reality TV star. His new show, MTV Following: Bretman Rock, documents his day to day life as an internet celebrity.
Bretman teased his first TV show on social media, "My @mtv show is Finally here!! 🥺 I've been manifesting this since I was a child and we're finally doing it guys !! I'm a reality star 🤪 Check out @mtvfollowing for more info," he wrote.
The show premiered on MTV and on MTV's official YouTube channel on February 8.
Its first episode, "A Single Bretman Rock Saddles Up For A New Adventure" has garnered over a million views on YouTube in less than a day and has landed on the third spot on YouTube Philippines Trending videos list.
In the episode, 22-year-old Bretman introduces himself, "I'm a proud first-generation immigrant from the Philippines, but I've been living in Hawaii for the past 13 years. Like so many of you out there, I was a teen with a dream."
Bretman opens up about his recent relationship break-up, his Hawaii home remodelling, his friends, family, and a closer look into his personal life during a temporary beach house trip with his cousin and assistant Miss Kay and his best friend Larry.
The episode also shows Bretman horseback riding with his friends and making Filipino-style spaghetti. The first episode takes an emotional turn as Bretman's mother Mama Mercy shares her struggles in raising her three kids on her own.
He admitted that despite becoming more independent after he became a content creator, he would still find it hard to live without his mom if she decides to move back to the Philippines.
“If my mom moves, it goes beyond her cooking, her laundry, it's everything that she does for me. I would have to take a flight to talk to her and hug her,” Bretman said, referring to her mother's plan to return to the Philippines.
“I haven't been away from my mom since I moved to Hawaii, so, it's hard for me to imagine what my life would be like without my mom being an arm's reach away” he said.
