CAUGHT IN THE ACT! Meme Vice Throws Shade at Julia B—Multiple Witnesses Reveal the Shocking Truth Behind the Scene!

In a plot twist straight out of a primetime teleserye, Filipino comedy icon and talk show host Vice Ganda—lovingly called “Meme Vice” by fans—has found herself at the center of a surprising celebrity showdown. Her recent remarks during a live taping of It’s Showtime have been interpreted as a direct and scathing jab at actress Julia Barretto, igniting a firestorm of speculation and gossip that continues to dominate entertainment headlines and social media feeds.

And now, to make things even more intense, multiple witnesses have come forward to confirm: “Yes, the shade was real—and absolutely intentional.”

The Moment It All Began

It all started during an unscripted segment on It’s Showtime earlier this week, where Vice Ganda made a seemingly offhand comment during a game that involved naming celebrities who are “good role models in relationships.”

With the audience laughing, Vice quipped:

“Sana lahat marunong rumespeto sa relasyon ng iba. ‘Di yung papasok ka lang basta sa eksena kahit may jowa na!”

The audience roared. Co-hosts nervously chuckled. But viewers at home? They immediately knew: This was no random line. The internet lit up, with fans pointing fingers at Julia Barretto, who has long been mired in relationship controversies—particularly her highly publicized link to Gerald Anderson, which many believe began while Gerald was still with Bea Alonzo.

Within minutes, the moment had been clipped, uploaded, and gone viral.

Social Media Erupts

On Twitter and TikTok, netizens had no doubt who the target was.

“That was 100% for Julia. Meme Vice doesn’t throw shade for no reason.”
“Shots fired! I’m living for this drama.”
“Why drag her now though? Old issue na ‘yan!”

Soon after, hashtags like #VicevsJulia, #MemeViceThrowsShade, and #ProtectBeaAlonzo began trending. Memes exploded, edits were made, and opinion threads emerged dissecting every word Vice said and every facial expression from the co-hosts.

The Witnesses Speak Up

While some argued the statement could have been general, multiple insiders—including audience members and production staff—have confirmed the shade was no accident.

“Right before the segment, Vice was talking backstage about a recent social media post by Julia,” said one staff member who asked to remain anonymous. “Everyone could tell she was annoyed.”

Another audience member who attended the taping claimed:

“When Vice said that line, she looked directly at one of the camera crew and raised an eyebrow. It was a moment.”

A third source added, “There were whispers all day that Vice had something on her chest and was going to let it out on-air. She did.”

Julia Barretto’s Reaction

So far, Julia Barretto has stayed silent—publicly, at least. Her Instagram stories have remained free of drama, focused instead on fitness routines and beauty brand endorsements.

However, eagle-eyed fans noticed that shortly after the It’s Showtime episode aired, Julia unfollowed Vice Ganda on Instagram. That small action spoke volumes to fans.

“That unfollow confirmed it. Julia felt attacked. She knows it was about her,” wrote one netizen.

While her team has not released any official statement, sources close to Julia say she’s “extremely hurt” and feels the attack was unfair and unnecessary, especially since the controversy involving her and Gerald Anderson is years-old news.

Why Now?

Many are now asking: Why would Vice Ganda speak up now, years after the issue first erupted?

Some suggest that Vice—who is close friends with Bea Alonzo, Gerald Anderson’s ex—may have been reacting to a recent interview where Julia discussed being misunderstood and “judged unfairly by the public.”

Others speculate that new behind-the-scenes drama, unknown to the public, may have reignited tensions between Vice and Julia.

One theory gaining traction is that the comment wasn’t just personal—it may also be professional.

“There’s buzz that Julia was being considered as a guest judge on It’s Showtime, and Vice wasn’t happy about it,” a showbiz insider claimed. “This may have been her way of saying, ‘Not on my show.’”

Industry Divided

The incident has split opinions in the entertainment world.

Some celebrities and influencers have subtly shown support for Julia, reposting positive quotes about “forgiveness” and “letting go of the past.” Others have backed Vice, praising her for having the “courage to say what others won’t.”

Veteran columnist Lolit Solis chimed in with a cryptic comment:

“In showbiz, may mga taong hindi talaga nakakalimot. At may mga taong kahit tahimik, ramdam na ramdam ang guilt.”

No names were mentioned—but fans quickly connected the dots.

ABS-CBN Responds

As the issue gained steam, representatives from ABS-CBN, the network behind It’s Showtime, were asked whether Vice Ganda’s remarks reflected the views of the company.

In a short statement, the network said:

“It’s Showtime is an entertainment program. Comments made during unscripted segments are the opinions of individual hosts.”

In other words: Vice is on her own in this one.

What’s Next?

With no apology or clarification from Vice Ganda, and silence from Julia, the public is left wondering what the next move will be.

Will Vice double down or explain herself in her next show? Will Julia finally address the issue and defend herself? Or will this latest drama fade into the background—until the next celebrity feud emerges?

Final Thoughts: Shade or Truth?

Whether or not Vice Ganda’s comments were justified depends on who you ask. Some see it as a long-overdue truth bomb; others view it as a cheap shot intended to stir the pot.

What’s undeniable is that in the world of showbiz—**where friendships are public, feuds are viral, and every word is dissected—**no shade goes unnoticed.

As the dust settles, one thing is clear: in Philippine entertainment, silence is rare, and drama is currency.
