K Brosas looks back on how her LGBT daughter was outed without her consent

• K Brosas shared on Vice Ganda’s vlog that her daughter Tal was outed without her consent by a mutual friend

• She recalled the painful moment she found out, saying her tears were shaking from anger and hurt

• Tal expressed that being outed felt like a betrayal because she lost the chance to come out on her own terms

• Despite the experience, Tal saw it as a blessing in disguise as it helped her come out sooner and begin living more openly

Comedienne and singer K Brosas opened up about a deeply emotional chapter in her life: the moment her daughter Tal—formerly known as Crystal—was outed as a lesbian without her consent. The mother-daughter duo recently appeared as guests on Vice Ganda’s vlog, where they candidly shared Tal’s coming-out journey, including the betrayal that marked it.

K recounted how the news of her daughter’s sexuality reached her not from Tal, but through someone else:

“Chinika niya… Yung lalaki chinika sa lahat ng friends, hindi chinika sa akin. ‘Yung kaniyang friend na friend din natin, juicy, chumika sa akin ng casual. ‘Balita ko tomboy anak mo.’ Alam mo ‘yung nanginginig ‘yung luha ko na nanggigigil ako,” she said, describing the shock and anger she felt at that moment.

Though hurt by how it happened, K emphasized she had long sensed that her daughter was keeping something important from her—but chose to wait patiently and lovingly.

“Bilang nanay, nararamdaman ko na. Naghihintay lang ako na ‘ah magsasabi ‘to,’ so naghihintay lang ako ng cue niya,” she recalled.

“Sabi ko ganito: nalaman ko na… Pero gusto kong malaman mo na alam ko na at bago ka pa magsalita, tanggap na tanggap kita mula puyo hanggang talampakan.”

Tal, for her part, explained that she had opened up to a male friend with whom she shared a strong connection due to their shared love for scuba diving.

“Nakuha kasi niya ang loob ko kasi mabait siya eh… parang nanghingi ako ng advice,” she said.

However, she admitted that being outed without her permission felt like a betrayal.

“‘Yun kasi ‘yung pinaka parang betrayal sa sarili mo ‘pag may nag-out sa’yo, hindi mo na own ‘yun eh. Hindi ko man lang na-own yun on my own time.”

Despite the painful experience, Tal chose to find meaning and growth in the ordeal.

“At the same time, it was also a blessing in disguise, kasi baka ‘pag tumagal, baka until now hindi pa rin ako out,” she reflected.

The touching conversation offered viewers a raw and honest look into the complexity of coming out and the deep love and support between a mother and her daughter.

Vice Ganda is a prominent Filipino comedian, actor, television host, and singer. He is widely recognized for his sharp wit, flamboyant persona, and significant contributions to Philippine entertainment. He began his career performing stand-up comedy in Manila's comedy bars. His big break came when he became a regular host on ABS-CBN's noontime variety show It's Showtime in 2009. His charisma and humor quickly made him a household name in the local show business.

As previously reported by KAMI, Vice Ganda just had a hilarious exchange with veteran actress-host Charo Santos. Earlier, Charo hopped on the 'Dance Like VG' trend with her beautiful granddaughter, Talia. In her post, the 'MMK' host tagged Vice Ganda and asked him about his thoughts. Eventually, Vice responded and wrote a hilarious comment in a "letter-like" manner.

Meanwhile, Vice Ganda had mixed emotions about COMELEC's response to Babe Heart Aquino's viral moment on It's Showtime. According to Vice, he appreciated how COMELEC acknowledged the issue and admitted potential shortcomings about their role. The comedian found the agency's invitation for Aquino to tour their offices acceptable but felt that something better could be done.
