Actor Herras took to social media to deliver a blistering rebuke to vloggers and “fake news” peddlers who exploited a recent video of him in distress. His message was clear: His life is not your content.
Mark posted a video of himself visibly emotional, crying, and clearly overwhelmed. While fans and fellow celebrities immediately flooded his comments with genuine concern and prayers, a darker side of the internet saw an opportunity.
Within hours, “clickbait” headlines began to circulate. Misleading stories claimed the actor was “breaking down” due to unemployment, financial ruin, or a fading career.
Mark clarified that he is working. He has income. He is surviving. The problem, he pointed out, isn’t the work itself, but the way people weaponize narratives: reducing a person’s worth to whether or not they are constantly seen on television or trending on social media.
“FYI sa mga basta may ma ipost lang kung ano anong storya ang gingawa basta may ma content lang wag kayong gago!!! Yung post ko na umiiyak eh tungkol sa personal na problema!
Wag kayong tanga at mahilig gumawa ng kwento para lang sa content nyo!!! May mga trabaho akong gingawa may show ako na ginagawa under GMA 7 at under BuenasPH so para sa mga gumgawa ng storya na umiiyak ako dahil wala akong trabaho wag kayong tanga!
Maghanap kayo ng ibang macocontent wag ako mga inutil!!!!”
Mark’s message was simple, even if the emotions were heavy: stop assuming, stop exploiting, and remember that people are more than the stories you create about them.
