Barbie Imperial clapped back at a netizen who accused her of being a “third party” in someone else’s relationship.

In the comments section of Imperial’s recent Instagram post, a netizen seemingly attempted to “shame” the actress by calling her a third party but not directly indicating which relationship he or she was referring to.

“Anong klase ng babae ka? Hindi ko matanggap. Pinaka ayoko sa lahat is yung third party. Kahit saan mo tingnan, hindi pa annulled yung mag asawa pero andyan ka na,” wrote the netizen.

(What kind of girl are you? I just can’t accept it. What I don’t like the most are people who become the third party in a relationship. No matter how you look at it, the couple has not been annulled, but you are already there.)

Imperial responded to the netizen’s comment, saying, “Anong third party pinagsasabi mo?” (What third party are you saying?)

The young actress’ response came after her rumored boyfriend Richard Gutierrez opened up about their relationship for the first time, clarifying that he met Imperial long after his separation from his estranged wife Sarah Lahbati.

Despite not directly revealing the real status of their relationship, Gutierrez emphasized that Imperial had nothing to do with his split with Lahbati, saying, “Hindi siya third party, hindi nag-overlap.”

Imperial and Gutierrez sparked dating rumors earlier in January 2024 after they were spotted in numerous sightings together. 

Meanwhile, Gutierrez and Lahbati’s annulment process is ongoing even as they co-parent their two sons, Zion and Kai.
