A brand to which the former Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) main host served as an endorser recently removed all promo materials that featured her and her family, fueling netizens’ speculations that she got booted out.
Although official confirmation is yet to be released, words heard through the grapevine are suggesting that Toni Gonzaga was pulled out from the roster of endorsers of a popular cake brand, Red Ribbon.
Netizens noticed the sudden removal of promo materials featuring the host and her family on the brand’s social media pages and accounts.
Rumor also has it that the former Kapamilya host got angered by the brand’s move. It’s widely speculated to have been caused by the host-turned vlogger’s recent endorsement of the former dictator’s son, Bongbong Marcos, and the senatorial candidate, Rodante Marcoleta, who is among the 70 congressmen who voted to junk ABS-CBN’s franchise application, last year.
According to a still unverified scoop, the said cake brand immediately recruited Gonzaga’s replacements, and they signed a contract, straight away.
On Instagram, Red Ribbon’s official page has already removed all promo materials containing Gonzaga’s face. Promo materials featuring Heart Evangelista, Paulo Avelino, Drew Arellano, Iya Villania, and Bianca Gonzalez are the only ones shown by the account.
Netizens expressed their surprise on twitter, with some suggesting that the host had it coming. Others all called for other brands to follow suit, although whether other endorsements the actress has to follow Red Ribbon’s move, is yet to be determined.
“May nawawala, di ko sasabihin (something’s missing; I wont say what it is)” teased @OfficialKPEx which attached ‘before’ and ‘after’ screen grabs of Red Ribbon’s Instagram account.
In the second photo, posts featuring Gonzaga are already removed.

User @Leedrae sounded ecstatic finding out the news, he shared: “OMG! So pati pala Red Ribbon?! Toni Gonzaga flop era na talaga. Dasurb! (OMG! Is it true even Red Ribbon ditch her?! It really is Toni Gonzaga’s flop era!).
JUST IN TIMBERLAKE: (waley 😜😂😅)
Wala na daw ang endorsement ni Toni at Paul sa PLDT. Wala na din daw ang Red Ribbon.
Hayaan mo na, may 120M naman.

(Just in: Toni and Paul reportedly just lost PLDT, as well as Red Ribbon. Let them be, they have 120 million anyway” user @Ian12am teased, although it’s yet to be confirmed whether PLDT indeed let go of Gonzaga and Soriano as brand endorsers.

If brands that Gonzaga is endorsing are indeed not shrugging off her endorsement of what many called to be a perennial liar as a breach of their branding and imaging, then Red Ribbon won’t possibly be the last.
