Ipinagtanggol ng mag-asawang Gary Valenciano at Angeli Pangilinan-Valenciano ang unica hija nilang si Kiana Valenciano laban sa bashers nito.
Nitong nakaraang Holy Week, ibinahagi ni Kiana ang isang mapanirang mensahe ng netizen na diumano'y fan ng love team nina James Reid at Nadine Lustre.
Sinabihan ng netizen na isang “famewhore” si Kiana dahil sa pagiging malapit nito sa JaDine at sa mga kaibigan nila.
Idinawit din ng basher sa kanyang pangungutya ang boyfriend ng dalaga na si Sam Concepcion.
Sabi ni Kiana tungkol dito: “It really didn't affect me and it truly is a waste of my time, but please don't ever think this is ok.”
Ang naturang post ay nabura na sa Twitter timeline ni Kiana.
Gayunman, hindi pa rin nagpatinag si Kiana sa masasamang sinabi ng netizen. Bagkus, nanindigan pa siya laban sa cyberbullying.
Aniya, “Cyber bullying, or bullying in any form for that matter, should not be tolerated. Again, your words have power. Use them for good.”

Sa sumunod niyang Twitter post, tila kibit-balikat na si Kiana sa anumang pamba-bash sa kanya.

PARENTS TO THE RESCUE. Ipinakita ng mga magulang ni Kiana ang kanilang suporta sa anak sa pamamagitan ng ilang mensahe sa Twitter.
Paalala ni Gary kay Kiana: “No matter what words are used against you...and no matter how hurtful, know that I love you KIANA...no matter what. I love you.”

Narito pa ang Twitter posts ni Mr. Pure Energy para kay Kiana:
@KianaVee Sad to say but some people may have never experienced anything remotely close to the kind of love many have for you.????????????????

Ikinalungkot naman ng talent manager at ina ni Kiana na si Angeli ang pamba-bash sa anak.
Pagtatanggol ni Angeli sa kanyang anak: “My daughter doesn’t use other people to become famous because she doesn’t need to do that. She ran away from the limelight for so many years.”
Binanggit din ni Angeli sa kanyang Twitter posts, na ngayo'y burado na, na minsan nang naging biktima ng bullying ang mga anak niya.
Ani Angeli, “I’ve read many tweets against my daughter. Like they know her so well. Did you know that my kids were bullied most of their lives?
“So to people who said they would unfollow her or delete her song, do so! It’s your loss not hers. She loves her friends & they love her and that’s what matters.”
Sa kabila ng pangungutya ng netizen, nanatili namang malapit si Kiana sa Jadine at iba pang mga kaibigan.
Sa katunayan, magkakasama pa silang nanood ng concert ng Coldplay sa South Korea nitong weekend.
