We had to go to the Sugar Bear house to get our tickets to go to Coachella and she was there and she was talking to the CEO of Sugar Bear Hair and I was friends with the Sugar Bear Hair CEO,” he recalled.</p><div><br/></div><p>Bretman then expressed how he wanted to say hi to the CEO as well to which Vanessa took notice and thought he was saying hi to her. </p><div><br/></div><p>“She literally looks at me and tries to hide. I’m like, first of all, I’m not saying hi to you. I was always team Sharpay (referring to <em>High School Musical</em>). Second of all, you’re not even Mexican, you’re motherf*cking not. Third of all, b*tch, I’m not a fan. She had a second person there. I think it was her assistant because I just don’t know who she was,” he shared.</p><div><br/></div><p>The content creator then revealed how Vanessa allegedly got one of her assistants to stand in front of her to “block her” as he was approaching them. </p><div><br/></div><p>“She grabs her hand and makes her stand in front of her to make her like block her. Because at that point, I was walking towards them to say hi to the CEO of Sugar Bear and that’s why we’re here,” he narrated.</p><div><br/></div><p>This disappointing encounter with Vanessa led Bretman to maintain that they were both invited to the same event as artists and are supposed to be treated equally.</p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/9/4/bretman-rock-calls-out-nepo-babies-of-corrupt-officials-over-lavish-lifestyles-1332" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>READ: Bretman Rock calls out nepo babies of corrupt officials over lavish lifestyles and &#x27;ugly fashion choices&#x27;</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>“You know how she’s been like the Coachella queen–– whatever that means.

There’s no reason for you to be hiding or having to have your assistant hide you because the only ones here are the ones invited,” he expressed.</p><div><br/></div><p>“Girl, we have the same rate. It’s not like you’re getting an artist pass and I’m getting a general one. I know time and place, you’re not above, I’m not under you,” he continued.</p><div><br/></div><p>“I&#x27;m [a] Filipino b*tch you can’t even like your own people,” he ended. </p><div><br/></div><p>Vanessa has yet to respond about Bretman’s claims as of this writing. </p>
