- Gretchen Fullido and Gretchen Ho were also affected by the Bea Alonzo-Gerald Anderson-Julia Barretto controversy
- Gretchen Fullido and Gretchen Ho received numerous messages that were supposed to be for Julia’s aunt Gretchen Barretto
Gretchen Barretto showed her support for Bea Alonzo by posting on her Instagram and sending a pot of orchids along with a note in the midst of the issue involving Bea, Gerald Anderson, and Gretchen’s own niece Julia Barretto. Bea and Gretchen first worked together on the ABS-CBN series Magkaribal in 2010.
Strangely enough, two other Gretchens in showbiz—Gretchen Fullido and Gretchen Ho—were mistaken for Barretto that led to them inadvertently getting caught up in the Bea-Gerald-Julia controversy.
On Twitter, the two disclosed that they received support and hate tweets from netizens who, apparently, thought they and Gretchen Barretto were one and the same.
