Nagkaroon ng diskusyunan ang kapwa hosts na sina Kiko Rustia at Gretchen Ho sa X dahil sa naging saloobin ng huli sa kontrobersiyal na biro ni Filipino-American comedian Jo Koy kay award-winning American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, sa hosting stints niya sa 2024 Golden Globes Awards.
Si Kiko Rustia ay naging kalahok sa "Survivor Philippines" sa GMA Network, naging aktor, at naging TV host ng "Born To Be Wild."
Si Gretchen naman ay napapanood sa TV5 bilang news anchor ng "Frontline Pilipinas."
Niretweet ni Kiko ang X post ni Gretchen tungkol sa naging komento niya kay Jo Koy.
"Hosts are always, always responsible for their scripts. Whether it’s your own or not, at the end of the day, it’s your face and career on the line. This was such a huge stage, and a wasted opportunity 😔," saad ni Gretchen.
Komento naman ni Kiko tungkol dito, "Rising to the challenge, win or fail, is never a wasted opportunity. @Jokoy may have blundered, but the fact remains: he took on that role and got up that stage when others couldnt and wouldnt. That said, disabling comments is a wasted opportunity to learn from one's blunder."

Mukhang nabasa naman ito ni Gretchen kaya nag-iwan ito ng komento sa sinabi ni Kiko.
"I meant a different thing about the 'wasted opportunity' comment, and my mistake was not explaining it well, and it was used as a clickbait headline."
"It was really about how he threw his writers under the bus. He himself said in an interview, that this was a ‘rookie move’ on his part."
"I also found some of the jokes off — like the Barbie one. In an influential stage such as hollywood where they’re trying to disentangle stereotypes, it was contrary what they were trying to do."
"Am I not allowed to have my opinion as a viewer? Also, I already got a lot of flak for posting this sir, what else do you want? 🙂"

Sagot naman ni Kiko, "We are all allowed our opinions, but we should also be open to other people's reaction and opinions about it."
"I didnt base my opinion off a 'clickbait headline'.. your tweet appeared on my feed for some reason, read through, and gave my opinion too."
"No offense meant Ma'am."

Tugon ni Gretchen, "I’ve been open naman. I’ve been having conversations and reading replies :)"

"And thats great, though disabling the comments might not be the best for the rest....but thats just me."
"Maybe a follow up tweet would have cleared matters agad... thats what I do when I realize I made a mistake, blunder, or a lapse in judgement. But again, thats just me," anang Kiko.

Huling reply ni Gretchen, "Agree, and noted :) Thanks."

Sey ng mga netizen na nakabasa ng kanilang palitan ng tweets, ilang araw na raw ang nakalipas kaya sana raw ay mag-move forward na ang lahat.
