MANILA, Philippines — Fans of actress Andrea Brillantes were shocked on Wednesday morning, March 4, 2026, to find her official Instagram account completely wiped of content following a hacking incident.
Brillantes, who boasts over 14.6 million followers on the platform, lost access to her account (@blythe) as hackers took control.
- Wiped Content: All photos and videos were removed from the page.
- Profile Changes: Her display picture was changed to a blank placeholder.
- Malicious Posts: The hackers used her Instagram Stories to post a cryptic and insulting message: “Ang toxic daw ni ga*”* (They say this idiot is toxic).
The actress’ close friend, content creator Bea Borres, confirmed the hacking and shared a screenshot of Brillantes’ message asking for assistance. Borres appealed to the public to refrain from interacting with the account while it remains compromised.
The hacking is particularly notable given the account’s high-profile status. Among her millions of followers is Grammy-winning superstar Justin Bieber, who has been following the Filipino actress since 2025.
The incident comes just days after Brillantes received widespread praise for her halftime show performance at the MVP Olympics (MVPO) All-Star Game 2026. Efforts to retrieve the account are currently ongoing, though no further details have been shared by her management.
