Barbie Forteza solo carpet walk earns 'toxic loveteam culture' remark

Barbie Forteza was alone on GMA Gala 2023 red carpet

Kapuso actress Barbie Forteza had her solo red carpet walk during the GMA Gala 2023 and this earned a “toxic loveteam culture” comment.

It is known to many that Barbie is in a relationship with Kapuso actor Jak Roberto for six years now. They would share their sweet photos and videos of them together on social media once in a while.

It is also known to many that the Kapuso actress is now being paired with actor David Licauco. Their loveteam is now known as BarDa and they were formerly called the FiLay tandem, based on their character in the defunct series Maria Clara at Ibarra.

The success of the BarDa loveteam is quite unexpected as their pairing was also unexpected. With the warm acceptance that they received, Barbie and David continue to receive projects together.

During the GMA Gala, fans noticed that Barbie Forteza had her solo carpet walk. Some expected that she will be seen with her boyfriend Jak Roberto but BarDa fans also expected that she will be with David Licauco.

This did not pass the eyes of netizens. Based on the article in Inquirer, a netizen pointed out that this is the effect of “toxic loveteam culture” in the Philippine entertainment industry.

“Nanuod ako ng gala ng GMA and honestly naaawa ako kay Jak Roberto. Yung situation ngayon nila Barbie, Jak and David yung best example dun sa sinabi ni Liza Soberano na toxic love team culture sa Philippines. TBH, yung ginagawang fan service nila Barbie and David madalas wala na sa lugar,” the netzen commented.

There were also those who recalled what former Kapamilya actress Liza Soberano, who was part of the LizQuen tandem, about the toxic loveteam culture that she was in years ago.
