According to her, she has not been following the younger actress since last year when she decided to do a social media cleanse, hence the decline in her Instagram follow list from 4,000 down to 2,000.She said it wasn’t only Julia whom she unfollowed on social media, but several more friends in the industry."These are people I work with and I hope to work with also in the future . . . I was comfortable in this situation," she said of those she was with during the dinner. "What I'm uncomfortable with is the insinuation that I unfollowed Julia because of this dinner because I did not,” she added.Bela revealed that she has since messaged Julia, as well as Dani and their mother Marjorie Barretto, since being on the receiving end of her fans’ ire. She ended by saying that the social affair “wasn't an attack towards someone. It was literally just a dinner. Sana let's not think badly of people."
