Rufa Mae Quinto went viral over the weekend when she mistakenly posted "Sana All" in a post about the late beauty queen Cheslie Kryst.
Following the sudden death of the 2019 Miss USA titleholder, tributes for Cheslie continued to pour out online and her mother, April Simpkins, remembered her daughter and her daughter's battle with depression.
A local social media news outlet highlighted this news in a post. The photo used was Cheslie in a black bikini that highlighted her abs.
Rufa Mae, who admitted she didn't read the post's full caption, said her attention went straight to Cheslie's physique and this made her leave the comment "Sana All."
Upon realizing her mistake, Rufa Mae deleted her first comment and wrote an apology in the same post.
She said (published as is): "Sensya na po, my deepest sympathy [bouquet emoji] to her family. Napakaganda at sexy Kaya nasabi ko na sana all ganyan ka perfect . Nabilib kasi ako sa Ganda , and sexiness , Na bitin Lang po sa text and yes Di ko nabasa buong caption [praying hands emoji] [two hearts emoji], hanggang Miss usa Lang po nakita ko. So yesh read more nga ."
The actress-comedienne added, "Condolence po sa family [two hearts emoji] rip [praying hands emoji]"
