This wasn’t scripted. This wasn’t a prank. And it wasn’t even expected.
In the middle of a simple Instagram Live session, Herlene Budol, known as the “Hipon Girl”, accidentally caught someone “peeking” — and the entire Philippines, literally, stopped!

The former beauty queen turned host, known for her feisty and comedic personality, suddenly became emotional and extremely embarrassed after an unexpected wardrobe mishap witnessed by thousands of live viewers.

IG Live Gone Wrong: A Second of Mistake, the Whole Nation Saw It!

Herlene’s IG Live started as a fun Q&A with her fans. She was wearing a spaghetti top while sitting in front of the mirror, when she suddenly bent down to pick up an item from the floor.

And that’s when the incident happened.

A “slip” was unexpected — and a part of her body that shouldn’t be seen in public was exposed to the camera for a few seconds! The comment section was immediately filled with emojis of shock, ‘OMG’, and “We saw it!”

Herlene reacted: “This is so embarrassing! I don’t know whether to laugh or cry!”

As soon as she looked up from the screen, she immediately read the comments. Her face showed shock, blushing, and shock. She tried to remain calm, but she couldn’t hide her embarrassment.

“Guys, I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to. Oh my God, it’s embarrassing!”

“I don’t want to go live anymore! Just wait, I’ll log out!”

She immediately cut the livestream, but it was too late – it had already been screen recorded by several followers and quickly spread across TikTok, Facebook Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

Netizens React: “It was just an accident, Herlene!” vs “Is this being noticed?”

Soon, the online world was divided into two camps. Some supported Herlene:

“That’s just normal. She’s not perfect. She’s just human.”

“That’s how it is when she goes live, there’s no editing!”

But there were also those who threw malicious comments:

“Is this scripted? It’s like getting attention!”

“Influencers always do this, to get attention!”

Even some vloggers and content reviewers reacted to the viral video, while her management remained tight-lipped… for now.

“Still Fighting!” – Herlene’s Comeback Post
After several hours of silence, Herlene posted an emotional photo on her IG story:

“I’m not perfect. But I won’t let anyone underestimate me just because of that mistake.”

“I’ll get up. Stronger. And of course, more careful on the next IG live. 😭”

Ultimately, what happened to Herlene is another reminder of how dangerous live streaming can be, especially for female public figures. One wrong move can be used as a joke or a slur on social media.

But as Herlene proved, shame is no barrier to quitting the fight.

“I’m a woman. I’m a human being. But most of all, I won’t stop just because of one mistake.”

The viral video taken on Herlene Budol’s Instagram live when she suddenly stood up is currently being discussed on several social media platforms.

The short video clip of Herlene Budol when she was caught on camera suddenly standing up from her seat is now going viral and being discussed on social media.

It seems that Herlene Budol forgot that she had already taken off her underwear, so when she suddenly stood up, something that shouldn’t have been visible peeked out.

The beauty queen-actress’s face shows that she was really shocked by what happened.

The actress had just come from an event because she was still wearing makeup, but it seems that the actress had already taken off her underwear, so when she suddenly stood up, she really saw something.

On the other hand, many netizens believe that Herlene Budol did it on purpose to make her fans laugh.

However, there are those who believe that Herlene Budol really made a mistake because who would want to see her having a sensitive body party?

It can be recalled that Herlene Budol was recently involved in a major controversy when she was accused of being the third party of actor and leading man in the teleserye Magandang Dilag, Rob Gomez.

Herlene Budol immediately released a statement where she denied that there was anything between her and Rob Gomez.

On the other hand, Herlene Budol has not yet released a statement regarding the incident during her live session.
