Julia Barretto hasn’t directly addressed the alleged cheating scandal, but she did break her silence on social media. Why? Because fans are blaming her for reportedly leaving Joshua Garcia alone during their ASAP after-party dinner at San Francisco.
Rumors started when ABS-CBN music head Roxy Liquigan shared that Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo accompanied Joshua after seeing that he was eating alone.
In fairness talaga Kay Kath and djp, Ng Makita nila si Joshua na kumakain Ng mag Isa dito sa after party, talagang lumipat sila Ng table at tinabihan si joshua. 🙂

Twitter user @TheCelebritea called out the netizens sending hate to Julia, noting that she might be distancing herself to avoid controversies. But now fans are bashing her for allegedly leaving him alone. “Kawawa daw,” (They said he looked pitiful) the user said.
Julia replied to the tweet and clarified that she didn’t do such a thing. “He opted [and] requested to be left alone. He asked to eat [and] mingle alone. Why are all these fingers being pointed at me YET AGAIN?” she said. She also emphasized that Joshua knows how make his own choices and decisions, so it didn’t make sense for people to still accuse her of mistreating him.
“Masyado nageenjoy tao gawin kawawa si Joshua sa lahat ng bagay, kahit wala na connection sa kahit na ano. May magawa lang na story,” (People are enjoying making Joshua seem pitiful in everything, even when there’s no connection to anything. As long as they have a story to tell) she said in another tweet. “Trust me, the guy is [okay]. He enjoyed himself last night.”
I did not leave Joshua alone. He opted & requested to be left alone. He asked to eat & mingle alone. Why are all these fingers being pointed at me YET AGAIN? Bakit nanaman siya kawawa sa naging choice and decision niya, and bakit kasalanan ko pa to? Wala kumakawawa sa kanya.

Julia and Joshua seem to be in good terms despite breaking up and being involved in the complicated alleged third-party scandal. The former also previously shared a text conversation where Joshua sent encouraging words.
While nothing is confirmed yet regarding the recent controversy, we think it is too unfair to think that everything Joshua does is Julia’s fault. Even something as simple as dining alone at an afterparty. He is an adult who can make his own decisions, and Julia shouldn’t be held responsible for them. Some people really need to calm down.
