Why Did Bela Padilla Unfollow Kyle and Piolo?
BELA PADILLA – The actress addressed online speculations that she unfollowed fellow Kapamilya stars Kyle Echarri and Piolo Pascual on Instagram.
The rumors began when a netizen on X (formerly Twitter) posted a message implying drama, asking, “Just in: Did Bela Padilla unfollow Kyle Echarri and Piolo Pascual?” Instead of ignoring the post, Bela quote-retweeted it and confirmed the information herself, saying: “I did!”
She explained that her decision wasn’t fueled by any misunderstanding or personal conflict. Rather, she was simply cleaning up her social media account. Bela said she realized she was following around 7,000 accounts and wanted to slowly reduce that number to zero as part of her digital decluttering. She also clarified that she had spoken with Kyle about it the night before, making it clear there was no issue between them.
When another netizen assumed she had a falling out with Piolo Pascual, Bela quickly denied it, saying, “Never! He’s one of my most trusted friends in our industry.” She added that she just didn’t like the spread of fake news, which is why she felt the need to explain the situation.
