Barbie Imperial asked the public to mass-report a Facebook page that she said spreads false claims about her, one of which is her supposed pregnancy with Richard Gutierrez’s child.
Through her official Facebook page, the actress showed a screenshot of the account that uses the name Showbizfinds and has over 119,000 followers.
The social media account recently showed a stitched photo of Imperial, Gutierrez and Boy Abunda, claiming that the actress supposedly admitted to the TV host that she and Gutierrez are expecting a child.

“This page is posting lies and things that I never said. Please report,” Imperial appealed on her post. “Mga oragon, patabang please.”
Imperial and Gutierrez first sparked dating rumors in January after they were spotted huddling close together at a gastropub.
Netizens further speculated that the actors had been vacationing together, pointing out the similarities of their background in their Instagram photos. A clearer picture of the pair together in South Korea then made rounds on social media not long after.
In May, showbiz reporter and comedian Ogie Diaz then claimed, citing a reliable source, that Imperial and Gutierrez are “exclusively dating,” and that there was no overlapping between the actress and Gutierrez’s estranged wife Sarah Lahbati.
Imperial and Gutierrez, however, have yet to confirm or deny this as of this writing.
