Karylle Explains Her Side About the Controversial Smile

Karylle mentioned that one of the reasons why she has accepted the recommended transfer to ABS-CBN is because she wanted to perform with her mom regularly on TV. She said that right now, she is more than happy with the very hospitable welcome from her new network family.

“Very, very nice,” she said. “One line I can’t forget is my mom saying, ‘Please give the warmest welcome to my daughter Karylle.’ And talagang nararamdaman ko yung love at genuine welcome from everybody.”

The mother and daughter tandem performed during the taping of ABS-CBN’s Pasko Na, Kapamilya: The ABS-CBN 55th Anniversary Special at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.

Karylle said that this is just the beginning of a very long working relationship with her new Kapamilya network family. Of course the question about her very controversial smile also came up during the interview.

Karylle has this answer. “If there were any misinterpretations of my smile, I clarified it [yesterday] morning when I guested on Boy & Kris. Tito Boy [Abunda] even apologized for asking me [that question]. Tita Kris [Aquino] said kasi that it was politically incorrect for him to ask me. I just explained that no matter what I would answer or however my face would react, it would mean something.

“Parang I was in no-win situation. If I didn’t smile, people would say I was bitter. I was actually trying to figure out what to answer and how to phrase it properly. And then, si Tito Boy suddenly said “Thank You!” and ended the interview,” she explained.
