In May 2013, a controversy sparked involving Soho and comedian
Vice Ganda, involving a joke directed at the anchor during the latter's concert held at the
Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City. Vice mentioned Soho, among several other personalities, in a stand-up skit involving celebrities starring in a hypothetical
pornographic film, adding that Soho would be
gang raped if she were cast, as well as making several jokes
ridiculing her weight. Vice Ganda later issued a public apology during his regular appearances in ''
It's Showtime'', admitting to his wrongdoing and that he offended Soho and several others with his jokes. Soho later acknowledged Vice's apology but she denied any intent to close any further discussion with the
comedian. In June 2021,
Nas Daily announced that Soho, among other known Filipino personalities, which include
Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray, fashion designer
Michael Cinco, and food vlogger Erwan Heussaff would teach courses through his Nas Academy. However, following the
Whang-od controversy, Jessica Soho has made a statement that she would no longer pursue the Jessica Soho course in Nas Academy. In January 2022, Soho was accused of being "biased" against
Bongbong Marcos, a presidential candidate in the
2022 Philippine presidential election, by his spokesman
Vic Rodriguez after declining to participate in
The Jessica Soho Presidential Interviews on GMA Network. GMA responded to Rodriguez's claim on Marcos' absence, saying "Throughout her career, Ms. Soho has consistently been named the most trusted media personality in the Philippines by both local and foreign organizations, a testament to her embodiment of the GMA News and Public Affairs ethos: 'Walang Kinikilingan, Walang Pinoprotektahan, Serbisyong Totoo Lamang'". ==Accolades==
