In the comment section, many are asking why Catriona suddenly avoided or avoided Moira.
“Avoided Moira slightly?” asked a netizen.
Someone replied to her, “‘That’s what I noticed.”
Some even commented: “Why did she insult Moira haha”
Another said, “WHY DID YOU PASS ON MOIRA? [laughing emojis]”
Another TikTok user said, “Why is Catriona still avoiding Moira??? [laughing emojis]”
Another commenter said, “All I know is, Moira is a close friend of Sam Milby. Sam Milby is Cath’s ex-fiance.”
It’s very true that Sam and Moira are super close, they almost consider them sisters, but recently, Moira’s unfollowing by several fellow singers has become an issue, including the actor.
It’s been more than a month since showbiz insider Ogie Diaz reported that someone had reached out to him that Cornerstone had dropped the girl as a talent because of her attitude problem.
We’ve written about this before and some of those who allegedly unfollowed the girl are Yeng Constantino, Erik Santos, and TJ Monterde.
Even though Sam doesn’t follow Moira’s official IG page, we saw that he’s still following another account of the girl whose username is @moiraslion, which features the singer’s furbabies.
