STIR AT THE PARTY: Julia Barretto Allegedly Scolded After Approaching Kim Chiu at Thanksgiving Event — Eyewitnesses Say She Was Tipsy 😳🍷

Manila, Philippines — What was supposed to be a night of laughter, gratitude, and showbiz unity turned into an unexpected headline when actress Julia Barretto allegedly caused a bit of a scene at a private Thanksgiving party last night.

Sources claim that Julia — who reportedly had a few drinks too many — suddenly approached fellow actress Kim Chiu, leading to a tense moment that caught the attention of guests, with one insider saying Julia was even “subtly scolded” by someone close to Kim.

“It wasn’t a shouting match,” one guest clarified. “But it got uncomfortable — fast.”

What Happened at the Party?

Held at a private residence in Quezon City, the star-studded Thanksgiving event was attended by some of the biggest names in Philippine entertainment. Among the confirmed guests were Kim Chiu, Xian Lim, Kathryn Bernardo, Daniel Padilla, and Julia Barretto herself.

The atmosphere was joyful, with laughter echoing through the garden, cocktails flowing, and heartfelt speeches delivered by organizers.

But according to multiple eyewitnesses, Julia — who had been “cheerful and extra talkative” all night — walked over to Kim Chiu during the latter part of the evening and attempted to spark a conversation.

“It looked innocent at first, but Julia was already tipsy, and Kim didn’t seem comfortable,” one source shared.
“Kim was polite, but tense. Then someone whispered something to Julia and guided her away.”

Did She Get Scolded? One Insider Says Yes

While there was no public confrontation, one insider claimed that a close friend of Kim quietly pulled Julia aside and asked her to respect Kim’s space.

“It wasn’t dramatic. It was low-key. But yes, Julia was told to step back,” the source added.
“She didn’t argue — she just nodded and walked off. But you could tell she was a little embarrassed.”

No further incident occurred afterward, and Julia reportedly left the event shortly after.

Why the Tension? A Quiet History Between Julia and Kim

While Julia and Kim have never publicly had a falling out, there have been rumors of past misunderstandings, especially during earlier network crossover projects and shared brand endorsements. Fans have often speculated that a professional rivalry — not personal drama — may be behind the coldness.

“They’ve never been close,” said a showbiz watcher. “They’re both strong personalities, and they’ve walked different paths in the industry.”

Still, the encounter at the Thanksgiving event has reignited questions about what really exists between the two actresses behind closed doors.

Reactions Online: Mixed, But Mostly Amused

As word of the encounter leaked on social media, fans and showbiz accounts reacted with a mix of amusement, curiosity, and concern:

“What was Julia thinking? Kim was just trying to enjoy her night.”

“LOL. She must’ve had too many glasses of wine. Chill lang, girl!”

“Give her a break. We all get talkative when we’re tipsy.”

“Props to Kim for staying classy and calm.”

Hashtags like #JuliaAtTheParty, #KimChiuQueenBehavior, and #ThanksgivingTension began trending on fan accounts.

Where Do They Stand Now?

Neither Julia Barretto nor Kim Chiu has issued any public statement regarding the incident. However, both stars were seen posting unrelated content on their Instagram stories the next morning — with Julia sharing a sunrise photo and Kim posting a cozy breakfast snap.

Fans are now watching closely to see if either of them will break their silence or simply let the moment fade away.
