Jerald Napoles defends Kim Molina after netizen’s ‘buntisin’ remark sparks backlash on body autonomy and respect.

Actor Jerald Napoles couldn’t help but defend his wife, Kim Molina, after a netizen seemingly crossed the line with a comment saying, “Buntisin mo para mawala kembot.”

This came after Kim uploaded a reel where she was seen doing her workout routine at the gym, where the said follower left the comment and even mentioned Jerald.

In response, Jerald called out the commenter, writing, “Paki-galang yung asawa ko. Kung makautos ka ng buntisin, walang respeto eh. Choice ng asawa ko kung kailan niya gusto. Her body, her choice.”

Her body, her choice

Following the exchange, Kim applauded her husband’s response and shared the now-viral comment on her Facebook page.

“When people go beyond overboard na para bang wala akong choice… Buti na lang nandiyan ka, Jerald Napoles. Forever grateful for you,” she wrote.

Despite the negativity, Kim also acknowledged the love and support of her followers.

“Super appreciate all your kind words. Hindi ko na talaga pinapansin mga negative comments and bashers, but I shared my husband’s reply to show how important it is to have people we love support us in the decisions we make for ourselves. Importante ‘yon,” she shared.

According to Kim, respecting one another especially women and the choices they make in life is important.

“Kung hindi man from a partner, but also from parents, kapatid, o kaibigan. We need to respect each other’s wishes and personal goals. I’m not trying to be fit just to be ‘sexy,’ not to be ‘skinny,’ but to be HEALTHY. I aim to inspire women like me who find it hard to maintain a healthy lifestyle,” she added.

Ending her post, she also asked the public to respect the boundaries between her and Jerald. 

“Working on myself now, trying to be open and sharing my progress. Doing my best to stay fit and ready para sa kung ano mang plano naming personal ng asawa ko in the future mga planong sa amin na lang, that hopefully people [will] respect. Thanks for reading this. It’s long, but thanks for your time,” she wrote, adding, “Good vibes pa rin.”

Just this March, Kim and Jerald held their beach wedding in Bohol, attended by close friends and family.
