Noong Linggo, July 23, 2023, ipinost ni Celeste ang kanyang selfie pictures kung saan makikita ang kanyang tattoo sa bandang dibdib at bagong inject na lip fillers.
Inulan ito ng samu't saring batikos mula sa mga netizen na hindi nagustuhan ang bago niyang look.
Sa dinami-rami ng mga nagkomento, may isang napansin si Celeste na agad niyang sinagot sa kanyang Instagram Stories.
Ayon sa nasabing komento ng netizen, hindi niya mawari kung bakit hindi ma-appreciate ng beauty queen ang natural nitong ganda.
Dagdag pa niya, ang mga tattoo na nakaimprinta sa katawan ni Celeste ang isa sa nakikita niyang rason kung bakit hindi raw ito nanalo sa Miss Universe at ngayon ay dinagdagan pa raw ng lip fillers na mas nagpabago sa hitsura niya.
Mababasa sa comment ng netizen (published as is), "Just sad how she doesnt see her beauty.
"Those ugly tattoos on her skin, maybe one reason di siya nakapasok sa top 50 man lang, now the fillers.
"Indeed, it's her life but since she is posting her photos in public, she is giving us the right to comment."
Hindi naman ito pinalampas ni Celeste. Buwelta niya, hindi niya papalampasin ang mga ganitong negatibong komento lalo na't hinuhusgahan na siya dahil lamang sa mga pagbabago sa kanyang hitsura at katawan.
Aniya, "Grabe talaga. Because I post my photos in public I am giving you the right to comment?
"Maybe I am giving you the right of having an opinion. I may not be liked by everyone and that's totally okay.
"But by posting my photos and being a public figure I am not giving you the right to be mean and to judge what you don't know."
Sinagot din ng bagong Kapuso star ang puna sa kanyang hindi pagpasok sa semifinals ng Miss Universe 2022 noong nakaraang taon.

Ayon kay Celeste, mas matimbang sa korona ang pagiging mabuti sa kapwa na patuloy niyang isinusulong bago pa man siya hiranging Miss Universe Philippines 2022.

Saad niya, "What I have been standing for during miss universe continues even after my reign and I will never get tired of telling you people to be more kind!!
"Not just to me but to everyone here! Kindness goes a long way.
"And maybe if we all learn to be more sensitive and kind we can all be HAPPIER."
NETIZENS' REACTION
Bukod sa binuweltahang netizen ni Celeste, ilan pa sa kanyang mga tagahanga ang nag-iwan ng reaksiyon sa comment section ng Instagram post niya.
Iisa ang hinaing ng mga ito: ang pagpapalagay ng lip filters ni Celeste.
Komento ng isang netizen, "You are naturally beautiful please stop your lips injections."
Saad pa ng isa, "Lip filler, forehead filler and what else? You are destroying yourself. Celeste you are beautiful the way you are, kaya ka nga nanalo ng MU diba? People appreciated your original innocent beauty, you don t need to change it. Don t listen to these doctors EVEN IF IT S FREE! Believe me fillers are too obvious and it looks disgusting. You will age in no time, your skin will sag and you will have no other option but to add more fillers. Please stop.'"
Sabi ng isa (published as is), "Akala ko nakagat ng bubuyog ang lips ng lola mo juskoow."
Sa kabila ng mga batikos na natatanggap ni Celeste ay mayroon din namang fans na nagtanggol sa kanya.
Sabi ng isa niyang fan, "You can comment all you want about Celeste's lips but it's already done and she wont listen to you..it's her choice so just respect it."
Dagdag pa ng isa, "She Gorgeous as long as she is Happy ,she can do whatever she want."
