Mika reacts to memes on Twitter.
Blogger Jimpy Anarcon defended Barbie and Mika from backlash regarding the series. He noted that Kara Mia has a story to tell and hoped both actresses the best.
“I wonder why people are already making fun of Kara Mia kahit di pa umeere. The soap has so much promise. Di lang naman mga characters na kilala niyo ang pwedeng magkaroon ng dalawang ulo, di ba? Goodluck, @dealwithBARBIE and @mikadlacruz!! Hoping for the best sa Kara Mia!”

“well sa totoo lang nakakaintriga naman kasi talaga and it also took us awhile to get used to the idea. we found it quite creepy also at first but when you go deeper into the story dun mo maaappreciate eh. it’s special, it’s unique at naniniwala akong makikita din nila yun hehe”

Medically, Barbie’s character may have been born with a birth defect in the form of craniopagus parasiticus or a parasitic twin head with an undeveloped body. This could be a realistic possibility as it happened to Edward Mordake in the 19th century. He was an Englishman who had an extra face on the back of his head.
Mordake’s duplicate face, however, may be different to Mika’s role. The Englishman’s duplicate face could not see, eat or speak. The trailer for Kara Mia, on the other hand, showed Mika to have a fully developed head where she could see and probably speak.
