Manila, Philippines –
Volleyball star Deanna Wong is once again at the center of a growing online storm after a controversial video went viral, allegedly showing the athlete snubbing or ignoring a group of fans trying to greet her in public. The incident, caught on camera, has reignited conversations around celebrity behavior, fan respect, and public image.

In the clip circulating on X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, and Facebook, Wong is seen walking past a crowd of excited supporters without so much as a wave or smile. While some defend her, saying she may have been tired or overwhelmed, others see it as a clear display of “attitude” from someone who once inspired thousands.

“She used to be our idol. Now she can’t even smile at the people who made her famous,” one fan commented.
“Deanna Wong was my favorite. But after this video? I’m done,” another said.

“Boss D” Image in Question

Nicknamed “Boss D” by her loyal fans for her cool and commanding presence on the court, Deanna Wong has built a massive following over the years. However, this is not the first time she’s been accused of being distant or dismissive toward supporters. Similar incidents have previously sparked debate online, though the latest one seems to have struck a deeper nerve.

Some supporters have begun to question whether fame has changed the once-accessible and cheerful athlete.

“We love you, Deanna, but please don’t forget the people who cheered for you when you were just starting,” another fan wrote on Instagram.

Defenders Speak Out

Not everyone is canceling “Boss D.” Many fans and even fellow athletes have rushed to her defense, pointing out the pressure public figures face, especially women in sports who are constantly in the spotlight.

“You never know what someone is going through,” one supporter wrote.
“Let’s not be quick to judge. Athletes are humans too.”

Her management has yet to issue an official statement, but sources close to Wong suggest that she was under intense stress and traveling between events during the time the video was taken.

The Bigger Picture: When Admiration Turns to Expectation

This incident highlights a growing conversation about fan entitlement and the emotional toll on celebrities, particularly athletes who are expected to balance peak performance with constant approachability.

Social media culture has made stars more accessible than ever — but it has also blurred the lines between public and private moments, leading to incidents like this where one unfiltered moment can explode into national controversy.

As of now, Deanna Wong remains silent, but the video continues to circulate, sparking heated discussions and dividing fans. Whether this is a momentary slip or a turning point in her public image, one thing is certain:

The court isn’t the only place where Deanna Wong’s every move is being watched.
