Actress Gretchen Barretto responded to an Instagram user who called her a mistress.
On July 28, the actress posted a screenshot of a message she received from a netizen with the who questioned her relationship status with Tonyboy Cojuangco.
The screenshot shows the netizen sending the message that reads, “Kirida the dakilang kabit”.
“Greta, kirida, [k]abit. Sounds like a tongue twister,” the netizen continued.
After receiving the said message, Barretto lashed out at the basher: “Old news. Yes, I am all that you say I am and you follow me on Instagram. I rock, rule and reign. I am who I am and I so love it. You die in envy.”
“I am the kabit who will live happily ever after and you will be the envious who will die each time you see me soar high. Rest in peace, envious [explicit]. I shall soar high while you die,” she continued.
This isn’t the first time Barretto defended herself for being tagged as a mistress.
“Mga kaibigan, you can accuse me of many things, nasty things. Pwede niyo akong sabihing malandi, I will accept it. Sasabihin niyo akong baduy, bagong yaman, I will accept it. Marami po kasing nag-i-stop sa akin, sa kadaldalan ko, but I’m on a roll. I want to say this. Sasabihin nilang kabit, aaminin ko for the past 23 or almost 24 years, opo, kabit po ako ni Tonyboy Cojuangco. I never denied it,” she previously said in an Instagram Live video.
“Right now, after 23 lovely years with my Tonyboy, you can call me kabit and I will tell you, I am happily his kabit. I am happily his mistress,” she added.
