I love him, I think he’s a great role model in confidence, in health living, and being yourself.

[@elletee8518]

What I love about Bretman is that he has always been himself from Day 1.🥰 Bretman Rock bashers/haters say unkind stuff about him but they don't know what a genuine, loving soul he is.💕 Bretman really cares for the people who mean a lot to him. What he identifies as or what he does behind closed doors doesn't affect u. He's a human being living his life to the fullest. Deal with it.

[@rannarann9316]

Bashers attack famous people. Therefore bret was famous😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@killeryhiltons8499]

Lmao, imitating women and black womens in general girl bye .

[@theronaldophotography4971]

Theres a saying: He who looks back where he came from, will surely go the distance..The fact that Bretman Rock is alway so proud of his Filipino roots, makes him an epitome of what a genuine, authentic Social Media Superstar he is now.

Incredible story and what a soul. “We’re all light”…love that.
