Bea Borres caught the attention of netizens after she posted a series of quotes about “grooming” on her Instagram Stories, which she deleted soon afterward.

“Grooming can be done simply by an adult paying attention, showing affection, or giving gifts to a child. It is a dynamic process that depends on the skill of the offender and the reaction of the victim.” read the quote that Borres posted, without making any reference to anybody in particular.

Even though Borres deleted her posts, several eagle-eyed netizens were able to make a screenshot and reupload them on social media.

Third-party rumors

Borres’ posts came after a report from the Philippine Entertainment Portal, quoting sources, cited how her best friend and “Kadenang Ginto” co-star Andrea Brillantes supposedly hooked up with Daniel Padilla, who was then still in a relationship with Kathryn Bernardo.

The report stated that Padilla and Brillantes’ alleged dalliance prompted Bernardo to finally break up with her boyfriend of 11 years, which they made public last November 30 via Instagram.

While there was no mention of the cause of their breakup, fans were quick to blame Brillantes, especially right on the heels of showbiz talk show host Ogie Diaz’s report pointing to third-party allegations against the younger actress.

Brillantes, Padilla, and Bernardo, too, have yet to comment on the alleged third-party rumors.

Borres, meanwhile, tried to brush off attempts to comment on the Kathniel breakup and Brillantes’ alleged involvement, saying, “Wala kayong makukuha sa akin (You will not get anything from me).”

Netizens’s react

Following Borres’ now-deleted “groming” posts, netizens’ reactions poured in on the internet, with most of them saying that the Youtuber-actress seemingly confirmed that Brillantes was the third party.

“Grooming is grooming, and the weight should be more on Daniel’s shoulders, but did Bea Borres even realize she just also confirmed her bff Andrea being a cheater to her then boyfriend Seth, and is in fact a part of the cheating allegations with Daniel?” wrote X user @inilatha.

“Imagine learning your boyfriend of 11 years is not only cheating but is messing around with an 18 year old girl who he watched grew, like literally they knew each other when Andrea was 8……. a cheater and a groomer,” argued Reddit user @lilishith, apparently referring to the age gap between Padilla and Brillantes.

“Bea Borres [was] not so sneaky when she pulled that stunt. So Andrea is a victim of grooming but also is the third person for Daniel and Kathryn and a cheater, too? Okay, Bea Borres.” said user @jnkknb
