Singer Wirda Viviana Zairi has appealed to netizens to cease cyberbullying fellow contestants on "Talk To My Manager Season 2." Zairi, who was eliminated in the quarter-final round, stressed that all six participants and their managers are striving their best in the competition. "I want to emphasize, do not bully my siblings in TTMM2. This is all Allah's plan. Do not compare them," she stated. Zairi highlighted that talent is subjective and urged viewers not to direct anger at other contestants after her elimination, acknowledging their efforts. "Remember, words can kill. So be careful when writing comments. We don't know how hard it was for that person to reach this stage. No hate, only positive comments," she advised.

Her mother, Ani Mayuni, echoed the sentiment, hoping for an end to 'soul-piercing' comments on social media. "They are working hard just like us. As Viviana said, do not cyberbully them. Give them support," Mayuni implored. She added, "Our art industry needs your support to stand on par with other countries. So please give your support."
