Netizens are shookt! Ruffa Gutierrez is making waves again, and no—this time, it’s not about her love life or showbiz drama. It’s her attitude on screen that’s causing major buzz online!

In the hit GMA-Viu series Beauty Empire, Ruffa’s fierce, no-nonsense character is drawing wild reactions from viewers—many of whom are saying she’s channeling her inner Annabelle Rama. Yes, that Annabelle Rama—her equally iconic and notoriously outspoken mom!

“Parang si Annabelle! Pero sosyal, English-speaking version lang!” a viewer tweeted, followed by a string of laughing emojis.

Indeed, Ruffa’s dramatic clashes with co-star Gloria Diaz have earned standing ovations from fans, with many describing the showdown scenes as “tarayan royale.” Her on-screen sass, delivered flawlessly in fluent English, sparked hilarious and curious comparisons with her real-life mom, known for her sharp tongue and, well… colorful language.

But the plot twist? Ruffa knows she’s being compared—and she’s not mad about it!

“I’m flattered! If anything, my mom is my peg for the role,” Ruffa admitted in an interview, laughing off the comments.

Meanwhile, Annabelle herself had no chill and reacted in peak Bisaya fashion.

“Ako talaga ‘yung ginagaya ni Ruffa. Kulang na lang, murahin niya ‘yung ka-eksena niya!” Annabelle quipped, clearly enjoying the attention.

According to her, she hasn’t even watched the viral scenes yet—but her husband, Eddie Gutierrez, already gave her the juicy recap. Now she’s hunting them down on YouTube.

“Si Ruffa kasi, English nang English kahit nagagalit. Ako? Diretso mura!” she said with a wink. “’Yun ang difference namin!”

And fans? They are LIVING for this generational shade.

While Ruffa slays with elegance and poise, netizens still say: nothing beats the OG. Annabelle Rama remains the unrivaled queen of taray, complete with unfiltered sass and no subtitles needed.

So the question remains—will Ruffa ever top her mom’s legendary status in the taray hall of fame?

Stay tuned. Masasapawan kaya ni Ruffa ang nanay niyang may kasamang mura? Or is English taray just too tame?

Abangan ang susunod na sabog!
