Gigi de Lana Hospitalized After Alleged Incident Involving Julia Barretto at Star-Studded BGC Event — Eyewitnesses Reveal Explosive Details

Bonifacio Global City, Taguig — Tensions exploded at what was supposed to be a glamorous industry gala last night when singer-actress Gigi de Lana was rushed to the hospital following a shocking incident that allegedly involved none other than actress Julia Barretto.

According to multiple eyewitnesses and circulating clips online, the unexpected altercation took place during a private celebrity fashion showcase at a luxury rooftop venue in BGC, with dozens of high-profile guests in attendance.

While official statements remain scarce, early accounts point to a heated verbal exchange that allegedly turned physical, leaving Gigi de Lana in distress and needing medical attention.

A Glamorous Night Turns Into Chaos

What began as an elegant evening celebrating Filipino fashion quickly turned into a scene of confusion and alarm just past 10:30 p.m., when murmurs spread through the venue that an altercation had occurred near the VIP lounge.

Several bystanders report seeing Gigi visibly shaken, being escorted out by security staff and a close friend before being helped into a private vehicle.

“We thought it was a medical issue at first, like fainting or anxiety,” said one attendee who requested anonymity. “But then someone whispered, ‘May nangyaring gulo. Kasama daw si Julia.’”

Julia Barretto Allegedly Involved

Eyewitness accounts and a now-deleted tweet from an events staffer claim that Julia Barretto was present during the incident and may have been involved in a confrontation with Gigi.

One attendee posted on Instagram (before quickly switching their account to private):

“I saw Julia approach Gigi with a cold face. Didn’t hear everything but saw Gigi raise her hand like she was trying to explain. Then there was pushing. I was too far to record, but it was tense AF.”

While no video has yet fully confirmed the moment of contact, several clips show Gigi walking away from the VIP section in tears, clutching her arm, and being assisted by companions.

Gigi’s Team Breaks Silence

At around 2:00 a.m., Gigi de Lana’s management issued a brief statement:

“Gigi is currently in a stable condition and recovering. She experienced a physical incident during a public event and was taken to the hospital for precautionary reasons. We ask for privacy at this time.”

The cryptic phrasing has only added fuel to speculation about what really transpired.

Julia’s Camp Remains Silent — For Now

As of this writing, Julia Barretto has not released any official comment. Her social media accounts remain active but with no mention of the incident. Her last Instagram Story, posted earlier that night, showed her smiling with fellow actresses at the same BGC event.

This silence has not gone unnoticed. The hashtag #JuliaExplainThis trended on X (formerly Twitter) as netizens flooded the platform with theories, speculation, and condemnation.

“If she really hurt Gigi, her silence is loud. Speak up, Julia,” one user tweeted.

Others, however, rushed to her defense, urging people not to jump to conclusions.

“We don’t even know the full story. Let’s wait for facts before canceling anyone,” another fan wrote.

Speculation: A Past Grudge?

Rumors of long-standing tension between Gigi and Julia have surfaced, with some netizens digging up old interviews and blind items hinting at a past misunderstanding over a shared endorsement deal or mutual acquaintance in showbiz.

While nothing has been confirmed, online sleuths are working overtime to connect the dots.

“There’s no smoke without fire,” said one anonymous showbiz reporter. “Julia’s name has come up in backstage drama before. But this? This is next level.”

Public Divided

As the news continues to unfold, netizens remain split:

Team Gigi is demanding justice and transparency.

Team Julia is holding the line, asking for patience and due process.

Others are simply stunned that two of the country’s most beloved personalities could be involved in such a dramatic incident.

What’s Next?

As both camps go into damage control mode, the public is left waiting — for statements, for truth, for accountability. Meanwhile, gossip channels and entertainment outlets are gearing up for what may be the biggest celebrity fallout of the year.

Will CCTV footage from the venue surface?
Will Julia finally speak out?
Is there more to this than meets the eye?

One thing’s for sure — this story is far from over.
