On, Monday, June 30, “KMJS” released an official statement acknowledging the issue and addressing the uproar.
“Around 1:40 AM on June 29, we were made aware of a retweet from our program account that appeared to endorse the eviction of one of the Big Four duos from ‘Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition’,” the statement read.
“We understand the frustration this has caused and are currently investigating those who had access to the account at the time,” it added.
The show also emphasized that the retweet was not intentional and apologized to those offended by the incident.
