Actress and TV host Kris Aquino-Yap posted in her Twitter at 5:40 p.m. today, June 18, that she plans to cancel the account. Her reason: To keep "what is left of our privacy."
Known as itsmekrisaquino in the popular social website, the celebrity host's tweet last week caught the public's attention. She wrote (published as is): "Stress & long hours led to a big misunderstanding. I have never lied to all of u until now hindi pa completely na-fi-fix. That's y I've just chosen to keep quiet since it's something very private."
The telling statement elicited several responses from her followers, and was picked up by the media. Though it did not turn into a full-blown showbiz controversy, Kris decided not to fan the flames.
Her latest tweet read: "I received this tweet several days ago—bakit hindi nyo minemention si james sa mga tweet nyo, only josh & baby james? I replied to it w/ honesty. My attention was called by Noy about this. So in the interest of keeping what is left of our privacy—I will suspend being active on twitter."
Kris reasoned that leaving her Kapamilya talk shows, SNN and The Buzz, will not "make sense" if she maintains a public Twitter account, where her posts will be susceptible to judgment and speculation.
"Sometimes being quiet (obviously difficult for me) is the only prudent course when u r the sister of the country's president-elect. Thanks to all who followed my tweets," she ended.
