In November 14, 2020's Bawal Judgmental segment on Eat Bulaga, Maine Mendoza was asked by the hosts about her shot to fame through her viral Dubsmash videos.


She said, "Ayun, masaya. Hindi ko naman inaasahan na mapupunta ako sa mundong ito pero siyempre sobrang grateful naman ako na dito ako dinala ni Lord. Kasi wala naman nag-expect, kahit naman ako hindi ko rin inakala na mapupunta ako dito pero nakakatuwa na ito 'yung plano sa akin ni Lord."

Maine said she originally kept her Dubsmash account private, but after her friends found her videos hilarious, Maine decided to share her funny dubbed videos with the public.

"For fun lang kasi naka-private talaga 'yung mga videos ko before tapos 'yung mga nagko-comment na friends ko, benta sa kanila. So inisip ko, 'Baka benta rin sa iba, try kong i-public."

She continued, "Hindi na rin ako nahiya kasi feeling ko kakaiba kasi 'yung mga videos before sa Dubsmash karamihan nagpapa-cute. So naisipan ko lang i-upload."

When asked about moments her fame became a source of online hatred, Maine admitted that she was also a target of bashing online. "Meron din kasi hindi mo naman maiiwasan yung mga tao marami sinasabi. Parehong good and bad. Mas marami siyempre 'yung mabuti na nangyari sa buhay ko. Alam ng lahat 'yun," she concluded.
