Back when she was still active in showbiz, Kris was known for being opinionated and frank, something not seen in many personalities in the entertainment industry.
In a 2014 video, she said that “it takes a strong woman to speak her mind.”
“I think, hindi masama for you to stand up for what you think is right,” Kris said before.
“Labels are a challenge. It’s a mirror to you about whatever perceived imperfections you have and nasa sa iyo yan if you’ll cower and be insecure or you’re going to say, ‘No, what you’re telling me is a weakness is actually my strength,'” she added.
