Actress Anna Jobling recently posted a series of photos of her mother onto her TikTok profile, drawing many uncouth and rude comments from netizens.
Some netizens asked whether the woman (her mother) in the photos was her maid, with others wondering how “a woman like that could marry such a handsome man”.
Others even took it further and wondered if the Malaysian actress was adopted.
Disrespected her mother
The Eurasian actress, born to a Malaysian mother and British father, then responded via an interview with Xtra, asking “why would you treat someone’s mother with such disrespect?”
She added that the netizens had “disrespected my family. If you dislike me, just tell me directly, don’t bring my family into the conversation, they are not upsetting anyone.”
Jobling also added that “thank God my mum is a strong woman and she doesn’t care about all of it.”
“I suppose maybe because I’m a public figure, they think they have the right to comment on everything about me, but why would you include my family when you could just comment on my job, drama, acting, and theatre?”
“And you know what, these netizens have mouths, they can say whatever they want.”
