Is it true that Nadine Samonte was not on the GMA Gala 2024 guest list?
The stylist of actress Nadine Samonte slammed Sparkle GMA Artist Center for allegedly doing this.
Nadine is one of the homegrown talents of the Kapuso network. She was part of the first season of the talent search StarStruck. At that time, Jennylyn Mercado and Mark Herras were the winners.
Over the years, she has done a lot of different acting projects. In recent years, she became less active but still did some notable acting stints. As a Kapuso star, Nadine attended the GMA Gala 2024. However, an issue occurred as the stylist of the actress on social media.
Miss Keith shared in a post on X, formerly Twitter, that Nadine Samonte was invited but she was not on the list. The stylist slammed the Kapuso talent management for allegedly prioritizing influencers over their homegrown talents. “HINDI NAKAKASPARKLE #GMABALL2024,” the stylist said in another tweet.
Then, Miss Keith shared a stunning photo of Nadine on Instagram with the caption, “She deserves a seat at the table.”
These were shared on a popular showbiz site and netizens had different reactions. A netizen said that this was another Eva Darren moment while some directly slammed GMA. Another netizen commented that it was not a big deal since Nadine Samonte is not popular but this comment was criticized by other netizens.
Some netizens did not like the presence of social media influencers at the event but some defended the online stars. Here are some comments.
