Camille explained that she did not expect the situation at all, saying, “I was surprised because coming into the show they asked me to co-host dun sa TicktoClock. When I came, they said ‘You have a production number because you’re guesting and we want it to be special.’” She added that it was actually the first live show after what happened to Kuya Kim, and she admitted, “I didn’t bother to check the script where the show was coming from”.
She shared that she only realized the impact later that day, saying, “That afternoon, nagulat na lang ako I was all over social media.”
Camille said she understood why the moment trended and revealed that when she saw Kuya Kim, “the first thing I did was to apologize to him,” adding that she was grateful he took it lightly because “he’s always been like that”.
