This has been a deeply personal and painful experience,” they shared.</p><div><br/></div><p>While she “was in an extremely vulnerable and overwhelmed state” during the said livestream, her team maintained that Jade isn’t holding anyone accountable for her actions and hoped that fans wouldn’t blame other drag queens in the situation. </p><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/09/27/23/drag-race-ph-m1ss-jade-so-completes-her-rudemption-arc-with-last-win" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>READ: &#x27;Drag Race PH&#x27;: M1ss Jade So completes her &#x27;rudemption&#x27; arc with last win</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>“We also hope this difficult moment will not become an opportunity to pit queens against one another or create further division within the drag community. Especially during times like these, we hope everyone will choose empathy over conflict, compassion over judgment, and support over hostility. Let this be a moment to care for one another rather than deepen hurt or duel unnecessary conflict,” they expressed.</p><div><br/></div><p>As she takes on an indefinite hiatus to focus on her healing and recovery, Jade’s team is hopeful that fans could respect her privacy during these difficult times. </p><div><br/></div><p>“Thank you for the overwhelming love, concern, and support that has been shown during this difficult time. We kindly ask for continued privacy, patience, and understanding as Jade focuses on healing. There will be no further statements at this time. We respectfully ask for your understanding as Jade and her loved ones focus on recovery,” the statement ended. </p><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div> </div>
