Viral live seller Daisy Lopez, more commonly known as Madam Inutz, finally addressed rumors saying that she uses drugs and does prostitution outside of her business.
She admitted out of all the negative comments thrown at her; those two are the ones that hurt the most.
Being an instant social media star, Daisy has encountered many sentiments appreciating her for the entertainment she brings to people, but the negative takes of netizens are always present. In an interview with television personality and talent manager Ogie Diaz, she admitted that she has regular bashers who usually criticize her by how she dresses.
When one of them has asked her “Ano bang binebenta mo? katawan mo o yung damit?” she answered “both” solely because she feels like she can do anything if it was for her family.
“Kasi kung para lang din sa pamilya mo pwede mong ibenta yung katawan mo para may mapakain ka sa [kanila].”
But despite her humor and lightheartedness, Daisy does get offended by people’s assumptions of her.
“Meron kasing mga tao na sasabihing ‘nagda-drugs yan, dating pokpok yan,’ yung mga ganon.”
She admitted that she hopes Filipinos would change their common trait of being judgemental.
“Parang ang dali sa taong mang-husga. Ayun din ang gusto kong i-alis sa ugali ng mga Pilipino. Yung tipong nakita ka mag-damit, the way na magsalita ka, adik na. Kayang nga sabi ko sa live, hindi lahat ng nagdadamit ng sexy is ganun karumi. Yung iba pinakikital lang talaga yung totoong siya, personality mo, yan ka na. Diba wala naman mali sa pananamit eh. Walang mali. Ang mali yung isip ng tao. Minsan talaga merong tayong di mapli-please na tao.”
However, she never cried because of such comments, saying that she doesn’t need to defend herself from people who don’t really know her.
“Ay hindi. Di ko kaylangan dipensahan sarili ko sa kanila kasi mas kilala akong mga taong nakapalibot sakin.”
Daisy shared that she started online selling because it was the only source of money she can think of during the pandemic. One of the reasons she also had to work harder was that her then-partner left her and her kids to fend for themselves.
“Naging single mom [ako], nagkaroon ako ng problema sa pag-ibig, iniwan kami nung tatang ng anak ko, so nawalan ka ng nagsusustento. Wala nang tumutulong sakin.”
That’s when she realized that she shouldn’t have relied on her partner so much and should’ve had ways to earn some income from her own hard work.
“Siyempre ako na yung kaylangan gumawa ng paraan. Gusto ko talaga magtrabaho ulit pero siya yung may ayaw. Lagi niya sinasabi ‘Just take care of my daughter and I will support you.’ Kumbaga naging inutil din ako dahil sumunod ako sa kanya. Tapos na-realize ko na mali pala. Dapat pala gumawa rin ako ng way para kumita ng sarili kong pera.”
