The recent drama surrounding Filipino gymnast Carlos Yulo has sparked a significant online controversy. The situation began when Carlos’s father, Mark Andrew Yulo, commented on a social media post by Carlos, which seemed to express an apology to his mother in an attempt to cleanse her image. This comment quickly attracted attention and criticism.
One of the most striking responses came from Chloe San Jose, a close friend of Carlos. Chloe promptly defended Carlos and addressed Mark Andrew’s comment. In a bold statement, she said, “Pasensya na po kayo tito, alam ko po na hindi po ikaw ang nag-comment nito. Pero kung gusto niyo po talaga ng ganito, bat hindi niyo din po sabihin na sinumpa po siya ni Tita Angge na gagapang si Caloy sa lupa before po siya mag-qualify sa Olympics last year.” This comment revealed deeper family tensions and added another layer to the ongoing dispute.
Following Chloe’s revelation, netizens began to weigh in on the situation. One user described Carlos’s parents as “toxic,” stating, “napaka-toxic ng mga magulang ni caloy, esp. the nanay.” This post was followed by several other comments from netizens expressing support for the sentiment, with some stating, “Sabi na e… Yung Angelica Yulo talaga e… Nagpipigil lang talaga ang Caloy at Chloe.” These posts reflect a growing sentiment that the Yulo family’s dynamics are contributing to the controversy.
The issue first came to light when Carlos’s mother, Angelica Yulo, appeared on a radio interview where she disclosed issues that led to Carlos leaving their home. This interview triggered a series of responses from Carlos and Chloe, who defended themselves against Angelica’s accusations.
