Inah de Belen has stirred controversy after her dismissive reaction to a comparison with social media influencer Rosmar Tan. The incident unfolded on Facebook, where de Belen expressed her dislike for being associated with Tan.
The actress shared a photo of herself with boyfriend Jake Vargas at a Flores de Mayo event in Bulacan. A netizen mistook her for Tan, prompting de Belen to respond negatively in the comments.
After learning about Tan, de Belen remarked, "plssss don’t associate me with her, ew," which led to an uproar online.
Tan, whose real name is Rosemarie Tan-Pamulaklakin, quickly fired back on her own social media. She criticized de Belen's remarks and questioned her familiarity with her own career.
“Kung maka ‘ew’ ka naman sa akin at di niya daw ako kilala. Nahiya naman ako sayo,” Tan stated, highlighting her own media presence compared to de Belen.
Tan continued her response, emphasizing her larger following on social media and questioning de Belen's status as a celebrity.
Despite the backlash, some netizens came to de Belen's defense, suggesting that her use of "ew" might not have been an expression of disgust but rather an abbreviation for "either way."
As of now, de Belen has not publicly addressed Tan's comments, leaving fans to speculate on the ongoing feud.
