Bretman recounts Coachella encounter on podcast

Content creator Bretman Rock called out fellow Filipino-American actress Vanessa Hudgens after describing a negative run-in at Coachella. He shared the story on the Sweet or Savory podcast, calling it his “most disappointing encounter” with a celebrity.

What happened at the Sugar Bear house

Bretman said he and others had to visit the Sugar Bear house to pick up their Coachella tickets. He explained he knew the CEO of Sugar Bear Hair and intended to say hello. According to Bretman, Hudgens was already there speaking with the CEO when he approached.

“She literally looks at me and tries to hide. I’m like, first of all, I’m not saying hi to you… I was not f*cking saying hi to you Vanessa,” Bretman said on the podcast.

He described how Hudgens allegedly had an assistant stand in front of her to “block” his approach. Bretman said he felt the move was unnecessary because the attendees present were all invited artists and should be treated equally.

Why Bretman felt snubbed

Bretman emphasized that the situation felt like a status play. He reminded listeners that both he and Hudgens were present as artists and, in his words, had “the same rate.” He said he was disappointed that a fellow Filipino-American didn’t acknowledge him warmly.

“I’m [a] Filipino b*tch you can’t even like your own people,” he added during the podcast.

Reaction and next steps

As of this writing, Vanessa Hudgens has not issued a public response to Bretman’s account. Bretman’s story has circulated on social platforms and entertainment pages, prompting discussion about celebrity behavior at festival events and how stars interact with peers and creators.

The episode of Sweet or Savory where Bretman speaks about the encounter is the primary source for his comments. Fans and followers can watch or listen to the podcast for the full context and Bretman’s firsthand telling.

Bottom line

Bretman Rock publicly shared a Coachella run-in that left him feeling snubbed by Vanessa Hudgens. He made his remarks on the Sweet or Savory podcast and has yet to receive a response from Hudgens.
