Choco Mucho star setter Deanna Wong has once again found herself at the center of social media buzz after a video of her allegedly declining a fan’s photo request went viral over the weekend.
In a now viral clip, a fan approaches Wong, phone in hand, seemingly hoping for a quick selfie with the volleyball star However, after a brief interaction, the fan steps back, appearing to have been turned away. The incident quickly sparked online debate, with critics accusing Wong of being dismissive.
This isn't the first time the volleyball standout has faced similar scrutiny. In 2022, she was criticized for allegedly ignoring fans during a visit to Boracay. Now, history appears to be repeating itself as netizens weigh in on the latest controversy.
However, many of Wong’s supporters argue that the viral video doesn’t paint the full picture. They highlight her past interactions where she has been warm and appreciative toward fans. Some speculate that she may have been preoccupied — watching a crucial moment of a game, mentally drained, or simply not in the right frame of mind for a photo.
Others question the motives behind spreading the video, pointing out that people are quick to judge based on a single clip without understanding the context.
