Filipino Broadway star Lea Salonga has spoken up on a viral video showing how she dealt with Filipino fans who visited her dressing room for a photo op after a show in New York City.
She engaged with them professionally despite being visibly upset, saying they weren’t allowed backstage for “security reasons” unless they were included on the guest list. While the Filipinos eventually obliged and left the dressing room area, they still lingered in the hallway where Lea made her way to the place meant for picture-taking.
“Para kay Ate LEA, if ever naman po na mali kami at wala sa guest list, the fact na andun na kami para lang magpapicture … pumila at nagbayad ng mahal para sa show, siguro naman po bilang kapwa PILIPINO at mga FANS eh mabigyan ng kahit konting RESPETO AT KAHIT HINDI NA YAKAPIN OR IBESO ay mapagbigyan na kahit sandaling Magpa PICTURE ,” the fan wrote.
Fellow theater performer Mikkie Bradshaw-Volante also voiced out her opinion, saying: “I feel like Filipino fans are some of the most entitled fans there are. Something about our culture makes fans believe that artists owe them and that they are beholden to them somehow.”
