It was supposed to be another night of laughs, promos, and casual banter.
But during what was meant to be a fun live selling stream, Matet de Leon broke down in tears mid-sentence — and the one who calmed her wasn’t a co-seller… it was veteran showbiz columnist Cristy Fermin.

Yes, Cristy Fermin.
Live.
Unexpected.
And absolutely maternal.

📺 The Breakdown Caught on Camera

Matet de Leon was presenting a new batch of skincare products when viewers noticed her voice began to crack. Her eyes were puffy. She tried to smile through it — but by minute 18, she paused, bit her lip, and finally whispered:

“Pasensya na po… Hindi ko na kayang itago…”

Her hands shook as she tried to hold up the next item. But she dropped it. The comments flooded with concern:

“Matet, are you okay?”
“Don’t force yourself, please.”
“Huwag mo na ituloy…”

And then, just as panic started to rise — a calm, familiar voice joined the live.

🧓 “Kalma lang, anak…”

Without warning, Cristy Fermin appeared in the live’s comments and was suddenly added to the stream by Matet’s assistant. Her face was steady. Serious. But her voice — soft.

“Anak… kalma lang. I’m here.”

Matet gasped. Her tears flowed faster.
Cristy didn’t ask what was wrong. She just knew.

“You don’t owe anyone strength tonight. Tao ka. Iyak mo lang ‘yan. We’ll finish the stream kung kaya, but if not — we stop. This isn’t worth your breakdown.”

Viewers were stunned. The comments exploded with crying emojis, heart reactions, and people saying:

“Cristy, thank you for being a real nanay figure.”
“This is beyond showbiz — this is real life.”

😭 The Reason Behind the Tears

Although Matet didn’t give full details, sources close to the family suggest a recent private fallout involving a family member may have triggered her breakdown.

One anonymous insider said:

“Matet has been strong for months. She doesn’t cry on camera unless it’s really boiling over. This was personal — not about sales, not about pressure, but about being constantly misunderstood.”

And Cristy Fermin, who has had a complex history with many stars, did something unexpected:
She defended Matet without hesitation.

❤️ “Hindi Kita Iiwan Sa Live Na ‘To”

The rest of the stream turned into a heart-to-heart.
Cristy stayed on camera. Matet wiped her tears. The skincare items were set aside.

It wasn’t live selling anymore — it was live saving.

Cristy closed with:

“Anak, next time someone tells you you’re not enough, remember this night. Look at all the people who stayed.”

Matet nodded, tearfully:

“Thank you, Nay Cristy. Hindi ko po makakalimutan ‘to.”

📱 Netizens React: “That Was Healing!”

Screenshots of the emotional live went viral across X (Twitter), Facebook, and TikTok with hashtags like:

🎤 Final Thoughts

We often forget that behind every smile on a live stream is a human being fighting battles we don’t see.

Last night, Matet de Leon cracked — and Cristy Fermin caught her.

It wasn’t just a moment.
It was a message:
You don’t have to be strong all the time. And sometimes, the most unexpected people will show up right when you need them most

Matet cried while live selling: Heartless, shameless
WHY did actress Matet de Leon cry while live selling on TikTok last Sunday, June 29, which worried her supporters?

Many were worried and sympathized with Matet when she suddenly burst into tears after reading some comments on her TikTok live video.

Based on the video that is now circulating on social media, while Matet was explaining the price of the corned beef set she was selling, she suddenly stopped speaking.

The actress suddenly cried after reading some comments from netizens focused on her live selling.

Matet did not say what the comments were that made her cry but she just continued selling the products she was selling.

But based on the screenshot shared by someone (@j.jreau) on Threads, what made Matet feel bad was the comment, “Don’t you have a project anymore?”.

And the mention of her late mother, Superstar Nora Aunor, by a basher who said, “That’s why Ate Guy left.”

The person who shared the screenshot said, “There were people who really did spread bad behavior and they all caught it. Matet is looking for a good life.”

Following this, the actress also explained through a TikTok video about what happened during her live selling.

“I just want to let you all know, ‘no, what happened yesterday was that I cried a little during the live…

“I didn’t cry during the live because I was embarrassed to go live. Okay? Because I am, I am very proud, very proud to be a TikTok live seller of brands that I believe in, okay?

“I am also very, very happy to go live, okay, that even if I am going through something, whatever it is, I go live. I show up, okay.

“I show up, I face you properly, I live properly. I’m happy to be alive, so much,” explained Matet.

The actress continued, “That’s why I had a bad trip yesterday because of that one person who was heartless and very shameless, okay.

“But being alive sells, I love it. That’s why I want to thank those who are good, when I’m alive. I want to thank you, those who support me when I’m alive, especially my customers.

“You thought I wouldn’t forget you, right? So thank you, thank you, thank you everybody for being nice to me, being good,” she said.

Matet added, “I can only say to those who really want to be loved, no, to someone who is just working well and doing what they love, eh, nothing, I’ll cut down on reading comments
