‘I feel terrible, sick to my stomach and had disturbing flashbacks I’d rather not say.’ Donnalyn said.

After receiving backlash online, celebrity vlogger Donnalyn Bartolome has apologized for her sexy baby-themed photoshoot for her 28th birthday.

Donnalyn shared photos from her controversial photoshoot on social media and also did a YouTube vlog about it over the weekend.

On Sunday, July 10, Donnalyn apologized on Facebook, saying the theme she chose for her latest photoshoot, “honest mistake,” was not well received because it allegedly encouraged sexual fantasy in minors and pedophilia.

She stated, “It was never my intention to enable one of the most horrifying acts here on Earth.”

Donnalyn deleted the content for about 20 hours after many people sought refuge in her sexy outfits as an infant.

She elaborated, “I couldn’t remove my post right away because I needed it to copyright the photos to prevent the spread of it furthermore until I got a go signal from Facebook and other socmed managers, an assurance that they know I am the owner of the photo and they’ll help me correct this by taking down all of the posts involving this photoshoot.”

She asked her followers, “You may help us by sending the links of the post of anyone who reposted this for any reason at all. (via message).”

The Netizens did not anticipate being chastised for his photoshoot. However, she stated that she recognizes her error and deeply regrets it, and that her online posts have affected many people.

“Almost a million people across socmed platforms thought of it light and funny because they know my personality and didn’t look at it that way hence our initial reaction to the idea was the same.. but upon reading other people’s perspective, I completely agree. I feel terrible, sick to my stomach and had disturbing flashbacks I’d rather not say.”

Donnalyn went on to say that she didn’t mean to hurt anyone because she was overprotective of her younger siblings.

“I was called crazy for being overprotective to all of my siblings, ones I took care of since they were babies. It has come to the point where I had to go to a [psychologist] to understand my actions because the level of protectiveness was quite extreme, all I’m saying is I’ve taken care of children since I was 11 years old, this was the last thing I would ever intend to do.”

Donnalyn expressed gratitude to those who immediately informed her of the negative impact of her posts.

“Thank you to everyone who let me know, especially those who did it so kindly, you’re the type of people who help me become a better person every day as I hold the responsibility of influencing millions. It’s not easy but I’ll do my best.”

Donnalyn also used this opportunity to encourage her followers to volunteer at a care facility where she had previously been admitted.

“While you’re here. I’d like to use this attention for those who want to help abused children.. There is a care-facility I was admitted in when I was a minor: Nayon ng Kabataan, the children admitted there carry so much pain, you can donate or send them little gifts to make them feel better.

“Thanks everyone and I’m sorry.”

Despite the criticism she received, Donnalyn received sympathy from netizens.

In this regard, the influencer should learn to be responsible when using social media.

According to his next Facebook post, Shwe couldn’t forgive himself for the outcome of what he thought was a harmless birthday photoshoot.
