Kahi has once again expressed regret over a post regarding her recent scandal after posting pictures of her family out in Bali. A now-deleted Instagram post had offended many netizens, who believed the update was incredibly insensitive regarding the serious situation of the Coronavirus outbreak. Kahi has taken again to Instagram after the situation to express her emotions on the situation.
On March 24th, Kahi addressed the scandal again saying: "Seeing articles using pictures that were taken with my children... ha... I really feel like my heart is ripping apart. I feel like I'm going crazy."
The former idol had previously replied defensively to criticism about her being out and about in Bali, furthering anger towards her and leading to her deleting her previous posts.
What do you think of this issue?
I'm torn on this, because I've always felt like children should be left out of the equation when it comes to reporting on celebrities or people in the public eye. However, SHE'S the one who posted publicly in the first place, blatantly disregarding the quarantine even when her children were admittedly running around while feeling slightly under the weather. She's only upset about it now because people are calling her out for it and it's going to affect her brand. In the end, I don't believe she's beyond forgiveness in this incident, but she has to accept the fact that people have every right to be upset with her selfish and naive choices.
I work in a hospital, and my coworkers and I are exhausted while bracing for the impact and further implications that this virus is undoubtedly have in our country and across the globe. But I'll tell you what doesn't help is when we encounter people who just blatantly ignore the advice of medical professionals like she has done. It's not just about you, it's about all the people you could infect. In the end, I hope she truly does learn from this and could perhaps use her influence to help spread further awareness as to the importance of social distancing at this time. As one who works in healthcare, I'm telling you there's only so much we can do, we're doing our best, but we need the public to do their part as well. PLEASE, stay home.
