DJ Mo Twister has recently addressed the controversy surrounding a past comment he made about actress Kaye Abad, in which he referred to her as the “ugly version of Iza Calzado.” This remark resurfaced during Abad’s interview with Boy Abunda, leading to a flood of criticism towards DJ Mo. He took to social media to clarify the situation and explain the context behind his words.
According to DJ Mo, the comment was made during a lighthearted game years ago, where celebrities humorously considered who might be their ‘ugly version’ in the industry. DJ Mo himself participated by calling himself the “ugly version of Matt Damon,” showcasing the playful nature of the game. He shared this explanation in a recent interview with Abad, emphasizing that the comment was not intended to hurt or offend.
During their discussion, Abad recalled asking DJ Mo via text about who would be her ‘ugly version,’ to which DJ Mo responded with Calzado’s name. Abad expressed that she was not offended by the comment, even feeling flattered, as she finds Iza Calzado very attractive. She further shared that Calzado reached out to her following the viral interview, advising her not to accept being called an ‘ugly version.’
DJ Mo highlighted that his intent was never to demean Abad and expressed relief that they could discuss this openly to clear any misunderstandings. He joked that he should have used the word “discount” instead of “ugly,” reflecting on how he could have phrased his comment better.
This explanation from DJ Mo aims to put the controversy to rest, reinforcing that both he and Kaye Abad have moved past the incident and maintain a friendly relationship. Abad, on her part, continues to engage positively with the public and her peers in the entertainment industry, including her current projects on Netflix.
