MANILA – Actor Janus del Prado is facing heavy backlash after posting a meme mocking Carla Abellana‘s minimalist, long rectangular wedding cake from her December 27, 2025, wedding to Dr. Reginald Santos. The joke—comparing the cake to a coffin (“Sisiw na lang kulang” or “Cake! Ba’t mo kami iniwan!”)—escalated into deleted posts where Janus allegedly called someone “maldita” and ranted about his page being mass-reported.
Carla responded gracefully in the comments: “Masarap naman at fully edible. Pati guests nag enjoy. Para sa amin maganda siya at yun ang importante.” Netizens praised her composure, calling it “very edukada.”
As criticism mounted (his page reportedly got mass-reported, holding monetization), Janus deleted the posts and fired back: “Ayan binura ko na. Bahala kayo sa buhay niyo ang bababaw niyo.” Many interpreted this as aimed at Carla or her fans.
Netizens roasted Janus for being “epal” and insensitive, with comments like “2026 na, immature pa rin?” and theories he was seeking attention amid fewer projects.
The controversy highlights how a “joke” on a happy occasion can snowball—especially when the bride is newlywed and glowing. Carla stays classy; Janus gets the heat.
