CEBU CITY, Philippines — Social media personality Awra Briguela opened up about the emotional toll of constantly receiving hate and harsh comments online in a recent interview with King of Talk Boy Abunda.

Speaking candidly about the negativity she continues to face, Awra admitted that there are moments when she feels exhausted from having to deal with the same criticisms over and over again.

Awra also revisited the controversy surrounding the bar brawl incident in 2023, which happened when she was only 19 years old.

Despite the incident happening years ago, she said it continues to resurface online and remains one of the reasons she receives criticism.

Looking back, Awra emphasized that she was still young at the time and was still learning how to navigate adulthood, emotions, and the consequences of her actions.

“I was just a kid then,” she reflected, highlighting how difficult it has been to move forward when an incident from her younger years continues to define how some people see her.

The social media personality also opened up about the pressure of being constantly watched and judged in the public eye. For her, the hardest part is not only dealing with the original controversy but also seeing hurtful comments repeatedly brought back whenever her name trends online.

Despite the challenges, Awra continues to work on herself and move forward. Her candid conversation with Boy Abunda gave viewers a glimpse of the person behind the viral headlines—a young woman who is still learning, healing, and trying to grow despite the weight of public scrutiny.
