In an interview on “The Buzz” last year, Charice expressed disappointment over people criticizing her image.

“Yung pinakamasakit ‘yung jina-judge ako ng mga tao na hindi naman ako kilala. Especially yung mga tao na kilala na nga ako, jina-judge pa ako. Kasi para po sa akin, parang kilala niyo naman ako, hindi naman porket nagpalit ako ng buhok, hindi naman porket may tattoo ako sa katawan ko eh iba na ako. Hindi naman ganoon iyon.”
