Beauty queen and fashion influencer Pia Wurtzbach became candid on social media about the difficulty of being in the public spotlight. The Miss Universe 2015 titleholder shared how every detail of her life could be put under scrutiny with one wrong move.

Pia answered the question, "What seems easy for others but is hard for you?" from Italian fashion house Prada.

“Being a public figure comes with benefits and challenges. I’m grateful for the opportunities and appreciate the support from my audience, but navigating public scrutiny can be tough,” she shared.

Pia then added how a simple comment could be translated into several misunderstandings by the netizens.

“A simple comment can lead to intense judgment and heated arguments online, making it overwhelming and hard to balance authenticity with expectations. A quick look at my comment section reveals the extent of that,” she added.

If there’s one thing that the beauty queen has learned from all of this, it’s remaining authentic despite the noise.

“Ultimately, staying true to yourself is what matters,” she ended.

Netizens and fans of the former Miss Universe shared their experience with being judged in the comment section. Some netizens expressed their support towards her as well–– making sure that she would be able to read positive comments above all.

“When you are way up there, people will always have something to say. Some nice words of encouragement and well wishes but some would be not so nice ones. Haters and bullies would try to malign and bring you down especially when they perceive you to be a threat or a rival. They will like you only when they don’t see you as a threat but it would be a different story when you’re performing beyond their expectations,” a fan wrote.

“Stay always humble and grounded Queen P and just work in silence. For the less you say the more your words will matter. Keep soaring and winning,” another fan added.

Pia recently walked the runway of Filipino designer Michael Cinco’s fashion show which was held in Paris.
