Actress Jackie Matubia has once again reminded fans why she is one of the most unapologetic personalities in the entertainment industry. The former Zora<\/i> star recently declared she is perfectly fine with being labeled \u201cintimidating,\u201d a trait she says she has fully embraced as a part of her personal brand.<\/p>\n

In a post shared with her fans on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, Matubia said she is often told she has an intimidating presence.

I want you to think three times before you speak to me.\u201d The message, which quickly went viral, resonated with many of her followers who saw it as a statement of confidence and self-assurance.<\/p>\n
