- Julia Barretto made her first public appearance after the Bea-Gerald-Julia controversy broke out
- She admitted that she felt terrified during the event
- She was romantically linked to Gerald Anderson
Kapamilya actress Julia Barretto revealed on Instagram that she felt terrified during the All-Star Games held at the Araneta Coliseum last August 25, Sunday. The said event was Julia’s first public appearance after being named as the third party in Gerald Anderson and Bea Alonzo’s breakup.
The actress played as the captain of the blue volleyball team during the star-studded event.
Julia wrote: “Two months ago, I started training and going back to my first love: volleyball. I fell in love with this sport back in high school, where I got the opportunity to be part of the varsity team and compete.
“Last Sunday was my first time to play in Araneta. I used to just be an audience member and watch the UAAP volleyball games. At the time, I only wished I had been able to experience something that exciting!
During the event, Julia said that she felt terrified in front of the crowd.
“I was terrified of being in court, being in front of thousands of people again. A few moments before the game, Coach O said, ‘Be brave. Being brave is not showing that you can fight back, being brave is showing what you can do.’ And we did it.
Unfortunately, Julia and her team were beaten by Kim Chiu’s red team but she realized that it was still a fulfilling experience.
“To my girls, my blue team: thank you for your determination and hard work. We may not have won the game, yet it was so fulfilling. Knowing that we fought, we fought hard till the end.”

“To the red team, headed by @chinitaprincess: Congratulations! It wasn’t an easy match, but you guys gave us a game to remember. Thank you, till the next!”Julia posted.
Julia has been making headlines on the internet after being romantically linked to her Between Maybes co-actor Gerald. Their viral photo together further fueled rumors of a romance. While Bea, Gerald’s then girlfriend of almost three years, supposedly hinted about cheating in reference to the actor. Julia then negated the rumors and pointed out that Bea was bullying her after liking several photos and posts of her and Gerald. Since then, the young star has become the subject of criticisms and hate online.
Julia and Gerald’s controversy opened up again after they were spotted wearing the same Jersey number during the All-Star Games. Many netizens believed that the alleged couple had a secret behind the number of three. Marjorie Barretto, Julia’s mom, defended her daughter insisting that the matching numbers was a coincidence.
