Sharon Cuneta is one of the celebrities on Twitter who often gets bashed. Perhaps because she’s opinionated and is not afraid to post what she feels.
But she may have already gotten tired of being bashed, because on Monday, December 30, 2013, she posted a series of messages that came down to saying goodbye to Twitter.
Here are her seventeen messages posted just before midnight:
I remember when life was simpler... When people had some degree of respect for one another because it was just a natural thing... And
if and when one had an issue with someone, it was discussed face to face, or closed by a well-meaning 3rd person... I have worked hard for 36
years, have earned respect the hard way... Worked maybe even harder than any other actress because I wanted to prove I wasn't just what
they called me which was "poor little rich girl..." I respected people and in return, was loved and appreciated... So it is hard for me to accept that on
Twitter, no matter how good you are to your followers, no matter how you go out of your way to make people happy, there will always be some
who will show you disrespect, kahit nananahimik ka... They will start something and then when you exercise your right to defend your-
self, ikaw at ikaw lang ang lalabas na masama... I don't have to prove to anyone that I am a good human being... Perhaps others can talk about
how I was as a girl just starting to sing, make movies... How I treated them even then, and how I continue to show them respect when they deserve it...
How easily people forget that I once maybe made them, or their mom, or someone they love, happy... How easily they forget that I have given about 1/3 of my whole life to this
most ungrateful business... The awards, the box-office queen trophies, the top-rating shows and #1 singles and albums... But even if
they have, or do, I hope they remember more than any contribution I have made to my beloved industry the way I lived my
life, raised my daughter with only the help of my parents and friends, how good of a daughter I have been. And how much I loved my public. Maybe
they'll even remember how very much they loved me... And maybe they will think of me enough to remember that I don't deserve the
obscene, painful words I certainly did not grow up hearing around me - just being thrown at me by people hiding behind anonymity, enjoying
a very false sense of power... I built my career without social networking - arrived where I got without a twitter account. I know you'll under-
stand if I do not use twitter for some time and just go back to living my happy life with those who truly love me and who deserve my love... May
you all have a blessed, wonderful 2014, and thank you to my loving followers for your support... I will be eternally grateful... I love you all. God bless you.
Hours before she posted the above tweets, though, one Twitter user told her that she should delete her account because it has ruined her reputation in less than a year.
@nucleareyes: @sharon_cuneta12 delete your account please.In a span of less than a year you ruin your reputation.Social media is not for you.
Sharon didn’t agree with @nucleareyes and answered the tweet with:
@sharon_cuneta12: @nucleareyes sorry you feel that way. Fortunately I don't agree with u
On the same day, however, Sharon seemed to have made up her mind to “not use twitter for some time and just go back to living my happy life with those who truly love me and who deserve my love.”
