Janine Gutierrez's Sexy Pictorial Calendar Was Bashed For Being Photoshopped And She Just Laughs It Off

WHEN JANINE GUTIERREZ did a sexy pictorial for a calendar, some bashers said her photos were just photoshopped to make her look sexy? How did she feel about this? “Wala, I wasn’t affected at natawa lang ako kasi alam ko naman ang totoo,” she says. “Tanggap ko na that you can never please everyone and there will always be a haters and bashers na magko-comment ng nega. But the photographer who took my photos, si BJ Pascual, siya ang mas naging affected dahil inilabas niya sa internet lahat ng raw shots na kuha niya sa’kin to show na everything is real, walang photoshopped. I’m happy naman na ipinagtanggol niya ako.”

What did her family say about her sexy photos? “Okay naman sa kanila kasi nakikita naman nila kong nakabikini sa beach. My Mamita Pilita (Corrales), gustong-gusto niya, super proud siya sa calendar, lalo na pag sinasabing magkamukha kami. Maganda rin daw sila noong bata pa siya. Generally, okay naman ang feedback kasi part ito ng doing more challenging and mature roles, like my role in my new drama show, “Legally Blind”, na rape victim ako. So lume-level up lang talaga. Don’t miss the start of ‘Legally Blind’ this Monday, February 20.”

What if she’s asked to do sexier roles in a movie, can she do more daring things? “More daring? Naku, kung anong ginawa ko sa calendar, parang yun na yon. Ang maganda sa calendar ko, classy pa rin ang dating, hindi sobrang daring na magiging parang bastusin. Sa ‘Legally Blind’, hindi naman come on dito ang pagpapa-sexy kundi more on acting in my role as a young lawyer na nagahasa, nabulag, pero hindi nagpatalo sa sinapit niya but she rises again to be an achiever.”
