- Chie Filomeno is Julia Barretto’s sister’s best friend
- Chie showed support for Julia Barretto amidst controversy
- She deleted the comment expressing support for Julia because of bashers
Instagram star Chie Filomeno has been the target of bashers after she took sides in the Bea Alonzo-Julia Barretto cheating-bullying issue.
On Tuesday night, August 6, Julia broke her silence with her controversial Instagram post where she accused Bea of bullying her and turning the latter’s breakup with Gerald Anderson into a “national concern,” among many other things.
The comment section of Julia’s Instagram account is filtered and only select people can comment on her posts. One person who left a message and expressed her support for her was ABS-CBN GirlTrends member Chie Filomeno.
She wrote, “We are indeed equipped for crazy. You are strong!! I love you.”
Not too long after, netizens noticed that she deleted her comment.
Meanwhile, on Chie’s Twitter account, she posted about wanting to comfort a friend in pain rather than picking sides in an issue.
She wrote, “Comforting someone is way different than ‘nakikisasaw‘ or picking sides. Your friend is in pain. The very best you can do as a friend is comfort them.”

One netizen asked why she then deleted her comment on Julia’s Instagram. Directly addressing the comment, Chie replied, “Kasi ang daming tao gustong umatake. I just wanted to comfort a friend. Pero parang sobrang sama kong tao dahil lang ginawa ko yun.”

Don't mind them chiee i know your a kind hearted person at hindi talaga maiiwasan yung mga bad comments dahil nasa lugar tayo ng mga judgemental na tao. As long as wala kang tinatapakan na tao. Just keep going
