American vlogger James Deakin was under fire after his interview with former Senator Bongbong Marcos circulated online. A photo of him with the former senator also drew flak. Netizens reacted, many claiming Deakin is a Marcos supporter.
Deakin was quick to comment about the issue, defending his side and clarifying that he is neither a defector nor supporter of the Marcos family.
He also posted a comment, with a link of his past interview with Kris Aquino.
The comment drew in more unwanted reactions than praise as some netizens claimed he was using Kris Aquino as a way to appease negative comments. Kris Aquino also reacted to the issue, feeling she was dragged into the issue.
Deakin quickly sent an apology text to Kris Aquino, which Kris received and acknowledged.
