Rumors of a snubbing incident involving Kathryn Bernardo and It’s Showtime host Kim Chiu surfaced on social media after videos of the ABS-CBN Christmas special were played on different platforms.

One video showed Bernardo giving Paulo Avelino a welcome kiss. What it looked like is that Bernardo did not give Chiu the customary beso-beso and purposely snubbed her. They were also seen in another video where they seemed to be not talking to each other.

But another video surfaced on Tiktok where Bernardo and Chiu can be seen in a short banter and they were even seen laughing together.

With this, fans of Bernardo came to the defense of the actress.

Kim Chiu:
“sa mga nagsasabi na pangit ugali ni kath dahil hindi niya pinansin si Kim..ano msasabi niyo dito? yan ang tunay na ugali na nag isang kya idol ko yan (To those saying Kath has a bad attitude because she did not pay attention to Kim…what can you say about this? That’s the attitude of the only one K, which is why she’s my idol),” one fan said.

“wag nyo ng gawan ng issue si QK. mahal n mahal ng masa yan kaya nga ang HLA road to 2B (Don’t make an issue about QK. The masses love her which is why Hello, Love, Again is on the road to two billion),” said another fan.

Rumors of a snubbing incident involving Kathryn Bernardo and It’s Showtime host Kim Chiu have recently surfaced on social media, igniting a firestorm of discussion among fans and netizens. The rumors gained traction after videos from the highly anticipated ABS-CBN Christmas Special were shared widely across different platforms.

The incident, which was initially a minor moment, quickly became the subject of intense scrutiny after a particular segment of the show went viral. In the clip, Kathryn, who was invited as one of the featured stars for the Christmas special, appeared to bypass Kim Chiu, who was on stage greeting the guests. The moment was subtle but noticeable: as Kim extended her hand to greet Kathryn, the latter did not seem to acknowledge it, leaving fans to speculate about the nature of their relationship and what might have caused the apparent coldness.

At first glance, many fans were quick to dismiss the incident as a misunderstanding or an innocent oversight. However, once the video gained traction, various theories began to emerge, with some suggesting that there was tension between the two actresses, while others pointed to possible personal or professional differences. The rumor mill churned, and fans of both Kathryn and Kim began to argue over the significance of the moment, fueling further speculation.

Some followers of Kathryn, who is known for her professionalism and poise, defended her actions, suggesting that she might have simply been distracted or focused on other things in that moment. Others, however, pointed out that Kathryn’s body language appeared to be deliberate, sparking more questions about the nature of her relationship with Kim.

On the other hand, Kim Chiu’s loyal fans quickly came to her defense, expressing disappointment over what they saw as a public slight. Kim has always been known for her bubbly and approachable personality, and her fans were quick to point out that she had extended the greeting in a kind and friendly manner. The incident seemed out of character for both women, making it all the more mysterious. 

The controversy intensified when some fans of Kim began to bring up past interactions between her and Kathryn, suggesting that there had been lingering tension between the two stars. Others claimed that their relationship might have been strained due to professional rivalries, especially considering their respective successes in the entertainment industry.

Kathryn, being one of the most successful actresses of her generation, and Kim, a long-time It’s Showtime host and actress, have both had their share of media attention, leading some to wonder whether competition could have played a role in the supposed snub.

Both Kathryn and Kim have not publicly addressed the incident, allowing the rumors to spread unchecked. Neither actress has made any statements regarding the situation, and neither has responded to the growing online discussion. This silence only seems to add fuel to the fire, leaving fans to continue debating the possible causes of the supposed snubbing.

In the meantime, the hashtag #KathrynKimSnub began trending on Twitter, with supporters of both stars taking to social media to share their opinions. While some believe the incident was simply a misunderstanding or a fleeting moment, others are convinced that there’s more to the story.

As the rumors continue to swirl, fans remain divided. While some are eager to see both actresses clear the air, others are content to speculate and share their thoughts on the mysterious incident.

Regardless of the truth, the event has certainly generated a great deal of attention, drawing the spotlight onto both Kathryn and Kim as the holiday season continues.

Whether or not this incident will affect their relationship moving forward is still uncertain, but one thing is clear—ABS-CBN’s Christmas special has undeniably given birth to a new chapter in the ongoing saga of showbiz gossip and intrigue.

Fans are left waiting for either a confirmation or a denial from the two stars, hoping for clarity amidst the swirling rumors.
