YouTuber and beauty influencer Bretman Rock flew into the Philippines last November 17. He is currently in the country to pay his last respects to his father.
Unfortunately, his mourning was shockingly interrupted by some of his fans based here in the Philippines.
He tweeted last November 21 that fans were coming to his late father’s funeral and asking to take photos with him. “Can people just let me be sad for onces…. I’m here in the Philippines for my dad who just passed, don’t come to my house and ask me for pictures.. so many people showed up to my dads funeral uninvited and started taking pics of my dad and my family… Like why? It’s common sense,” Bretman wrote.
I just don’t understand why people think it’s okay to ask me for pictures when my eyes are literally swollen from crying … how you you gonna say “condolences , can we take a picture ?”

It was later followed up by a second tweet that read: “I just don’t understand why people think it’s okay to ask me for pictures when my eyes are literally swollen from crying … how you gonna say ‘condolences , can we take a picture?'”
Bretman was recently named 2019’s E! Beauty Influencer of the Year. He dedicated the win to his father, who had only passed away a few days prior at the time. “I want to dedicate this award to my dad who has always supported and loved me unconditionally,” he said.
“I love you so much and I will always be grateful for allowing me to express myself and defended me whenever haters said anything. This one is for you Papa. I hope I make you the proudest,” Bretman continued.
