On her Ins tag ram Stories, Peralejo shared a screenshot of a news graphic that read Bernardo officially unfollowed Padilla after their nearly twomonth separation, with the former actress joking that those she had unfollowed should have made the news as well.
The singer- host also took to Threads to share her sentiments on unfollowing people on social media, labeling it an issue of control and empowerment, especially over abusers, gaslighters, and oppressors.
“To unfollow people on[ social media] is not immaturity. It is an issue of control. It is an act of agency.
