The organization stressed that the vlogger's remarks about Chelsea were "unfair, insensitive, hurtful, and dismissive of her accomplishments."
"We do not tolerate bullying and irresponsible vlogging especially from an accredited MUPh media partner whom we have welcomed in our events," it underscored.
It continued, "For too long, we have allowed such behavior to be tolerated because bashers and haters have been an accepted part of social media. But in reality, we still have a choice to normalize it or speak up against it."

Later, Adam took to social media to share a video of him apologizing to the Bulakenya beauty queen and the MUPH organization. The vlogger admitted that he spoke carelessly and that he should have been "more diplomatic and tactful."
"I just want to really say sorry because I hurt all your feelings and it was never my intention to do so. I should have been more careful with my choice of words, it's only now that I'm realizing that," Adam aired.
It is worth noting that after Denmark's Victoria Theilvig was crowned Miss Universe 2024, Adam mentioned in a viral video that the Philippines would have done better if it was represented by Miss Universe Philippines 2024 runners-up Christi McGarry or Ahtisa Manalo.
"Kasi tingnan mo, sinong pinanalo nila, si Denmark, Barbie-looking. Sino bang closest Barbie-looking natin dito nung nakaraang MUPH?" Adam said in his previous commentary.
