Social media personality Toni Fowler opened up about the painful yet eye-opening lessons she gained from her controversial past involving rapper Jon Gutierrez, also known as King Badger.
In her guest appearance on ‘Fast Talk with Boy Abunda’ on April 8, Toni candidly discussed her previous relationships and the realizations that came with them—particularly the one that stirred public attention due to Jon’s then-marriage to Jelai Andres.
“Number one, tulad ng sinasabi ko sa kanila palagi, ‘wag kang magko-comfort ng bagong breakup,” Toni began, referring to her involvement with Jon shortly after his breakup with Jelai.
Her second lesson was even more direct: “’Wag kang magiging dahilan ng ikakasakit pa ng puso ng isang babae kasi kakarmahin ka talaga.” Toni admitted that beyond karma, the act itself was inherently wrong. “Mali talaga siya,” she added.
But the most significant takeaway for the influencer came from her misconception of love. “Number three, pinaka naintindihan ko is attention is not love. Akala ko kasi ‘pag may attention na binibigay sa ‘kin, love ‘yon. Hindi siya love,” she said.
Toni’s honest reflection was met with support from viewers, especially those who have followed her personal and professional journey online. She currently boasts over 3 million Facebook followers and nearly 9.3 million subscribers on YouTube, where she gained further popularity for her viral “fine dining restaurant” audio.
Now in a more peaceful chapter of her life, Toni is happily in a relationship with her partner Vince Flores, popularly known as Tito Vince. The couple recently welcomed their baby boy, Tyronne Valentine, in November 2024. Toni also has a 13-year-old daughter, Tyronia, with ex-boyfriend Aaron Manalo.
