Apple David Responds to Backlash Over Alleged Link with Chad Gammad
APPLE DAVID – The sports reporter and online personality addressed the criticism she received online over rumors linking her to Chad Gammad of the Letran Knights.
The issue quickly gained attention on social media because of their age gap. Apple is 33 years old, while Chad recently turned 18. Speculation started after Apple was frequently seen attending Chad’s basketball games, along with photos of them circulating online.
During a TikTok live session, Apple expressed disappointment over the harsh comments and judgments coming from netizens. She said many people were quick to criticize them without fully understanding the situation. According to her, both of them are happy, and their families are supportive. She also called out those using serious accusations and labels without properly understanding their meaning.

Apple clarified that Chad was already legally an adult when they met, emphasizing that she did not know him while he was underage. She acknowledged that their age difference may appear unusual to some people, but she believes that two adults should still have the right to make their own personal decisions. She explained that relationships and connections sometimes happen unexpectedly and cannot always be easily explained.

She also questioned why the issue became more controversial simply because she is older than the rumored partner. For Apple, people should avoid judging a relationship based only on age if both individuals are already adults and capable of making decisions for themselves.

The issue continues to receive mixed reactions online. Some people remain critical of the rumored relationship, while others believe their private lives should be respected. As of now, Chad Gammad has not released any public statement regarding the rumors, and neither side has officially confirmed the true status of their relationship.
