The separation of Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo seems to have taken a toll on Daniel Padilla, particularly after he received boos and insults directed at his image on a Freedom Wall created at the recently concluded Asia Artist Award where his name was featured.
Recall that Ogie Diaz first revealed the alleged secret meeting between Daniel Padilla and Andrea Brillantes, followed by renowned columnist Cristy Fermin, who pointed out that Andrea’s former partner was aware of the relationship between Daniel and Andrea. This led to a point where the true status of their relationship came to light, culminating in their public admission of their breakup.
Despite this, last week saw Daniel and Kathryn teaming up once again for the ABS CBN Christmas Special 2023, where they performed together in a production number that delighted their fans. However, observers couldn’t help but notice the apparent awkwardness between the two.
In the days gone by, the two reunited at the inaugural Asia Artist Award 2023 held in the Philippines, attended by prominent artists and performers from Asia, especially Korean stars who received awards and performed at the event. Several Filipino stars also received awards, including the popular Ppop Group SB19, Melai Cantiveros, Kathryn Bernardo, and Daniel Padilla. The former couple coming together again caught the attention of their fans.
Part of the celebration was the Freedom Board, featuring images of artists and Korean stars, including Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla. However, it was impossible to ignore the small writing beside Daniel Padilla’s image, particularly the insulting depiction of male genitalia, seemingly aimed at Daniel Padilla, along with the words “Kathryn Deserves Better.”
The passionate sentiments of fans expressing anger towards Daniel are undeniable, claiming that a third party was the alleged cause of the KathNiel breakup. However, it is hoped that such insults do not escalate to this level.
