“Barbie Forteza and Kathryn Bernardo are really just products of useless comparison, because the truth is that only one person has truly ‘dethroned’ Teen Queen from the very beginning.” And the truth is…
In the showbiz industry, there are always issues and comparisons, especially when two popular teen stars like Barbie Forteza and Kathryn Bernardo are considered the “Teen Queens” of their respective networks. While Barbie is recognized as one of the best actresses of GMA, Kathryn continues to show excellence in ABS-CBN, so the two could not escape the inevitable comparisons of fans and the media.
Despite the criticism and slander they receive from each other’s fans, Barbie could not help but speak out on the issue of their alleged feud. According to her, she and Kathryn are not enemies, and they have no personal issues with each other. “This is true, ha. Kathryn and I are not enemies because we never see each other. So there’s no chance of us being enemies,” Barbie stated in an interview. Barbie pointed out that she does not know where the issue originated, and she further pointed out that the bashers who come from Kathryn’s fans are the ones spreading the false accusations. “That issue is only for you, my bashers who are Kathryn’s fans,” she added.
Barbie opposed the idea that the bashers are helping to improve Kathryn’s image. “For me, it’s not a problem because I have nothing against Kathryn. It’s up to you if you think [that] your bashing of me will improve the image of your idol, your teen queen.” Here, Barbie emphasized that she does not give in to the issues spread by other people, and she does not allow them to affect her.
How does Barbie handle such issues? According to her, she chooses to ignore the negative comments. “Actually I’m just being sarcastic. But Kathryn and I are okay. I just don’t know if she still remembers me,” said Barbie. She showed maturity and professionalism in avoiding unnecessary dramas. According to Barbie, she has no problems with Kathryn, and it seems she doesn’t care about the baseless issues of others.
Despite the unexpected issues, it’s clear that Barbie is focused on her career and not giving in to the negative aspects of showbiz. In fact, she is becoming a good example of an actress who doesn’t let others’ opinions affect her, and continues to work hard to improve her own name.
