Esther Lahbati responded to a netizen alleging that her daughter Sarah is being copied by her ex-husband Richard Gutierrez’s rumored girlfriend Barbie Imperial.
Under Sarah’s past Instagram post more than a month ago, a netizen supposed that Barbie was imitating Sarah in terms of fashion and hobbies.
“Parang ginaya ni Barbie si Sarah sa white dress niya at pati yung culinary,” said the netizen in the comments section.
Several others also left similar comments before Sarah’s mom reacted with laughing emojis, as seen in the screenshots posted by gossip site Fashion Pulis.
Since early this year, Barbie and Richard have been hounded by dating speculations after being spotted on multiple sightings together, including the most recent one in South Korea.
Meanwhile, a source of talent manager and host Ogie Diaz claimed that the two are now exclusively dating.
According to the “very reliable source,” Richard’s relationship with Barbie did not overlap with Sarah whom he shares two kids with.
The former couple are currently on a co-parenting setup for their children.
