Jessica Soho to Vice Ganda, "(Gang) Rape is not a joke" (Concert Video)
Vice Ganda received many criticisms from netizens and various sectors regarding a joke he made during his concert last May 17 at the Araneta coliseum. From his concert video, Vice Ganda deliberately made fun of Jessica Soho's physique for a full two minutes. And most of all, the comedian joked that if Jessica Soho were a bold star in a movie, the scene would have to involve a "gang rape."
In response, Jessica Soho, an award-winning news anchor and popular media personality of GMA 7, has issued an official statement through GMA News Online saying;
"Rape is not a joke and should never be material for a comedy concert."
"I thank all those who shared my hurt and expressed their support, but this should not be about me but about rape victims who suffer tremendously from this terrible crime. The horrors they go through are unspeakable and should never be taken lightly, especially by way of a cruel joke," Soho added.
Meanwhile, Jessica has won numerous accolades, including the prestigious George Foster Peabody Award, in her career as a broadcast journalist for more than two decades. Soho has also repeatedly ranked as the most trusted news personality in the country. She is the host of the evening news program "State of the Nation" on GMA News TV and of "Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho" on GMA. The latter is the network's top-rated program.
Jessica Soho is also the Vice President for News Programs of GMA Network.
