Did Catriona Gray Ignore Moira Dela Torre?
CATRIONA GRAY and MOIRA DELA TORRE – A recent video from an event featuring Miss Universe 2018 and the singer-songwriter has sparked online speculation. The clip shows Catriona greeting some male guests with a cheek kiss, but when she approached Moira, she simply walked past her, briefly placing a hand on Maricel Soriano’s elbow before moving forward.
Additionally, Catriona did not acknowledge former Pinoy Big Brother housemate Kai Montinola, likely because she did not recognize her. This led netizens to speculate about possible tension between Catriona and Moira, particularly in connection with the ongoing issues involving Moira and her talent agency, Cornerstone Entertainment.
Some netizens believe that Catriona deliberately ignored Moira, considering that several Cornerstone artists, including Sam Milby, Erik Santos, and Yeng Constantino, allegedly unfollowed Moira on social media amid controversies. Others linked the situation to Sam Milby, Catriona’s ex-boyfriend and someone Moira considers an older brother figure.
However, other social media users defended Catriona, suggesting that she may have smiled at Moira, but the video did not capture it since it was filmed from behind. Some also pointed out that they could have interacted backstage or spoken after the event, making the issue unnecessary.
This incident appears to be another case of overanalyzing celebrity interactions, especially at a time when Moira is receiving negative attention due to rumors about her alleged attitude problem. Ultimately, it remains uncertain whether there was an intentional snub or if the situation was simply misinterpreted.
