The influencer, who is nonbinary and uses all pronouns, called Adriana Lima their absolute “favorite” celebrity run-in, describing how “cool” and nice she was when they met at a New York Fashion Week afterparty in 2017. But when asked about their “most disappointing celebrity encounter,” Bretman didn’t hesitate to name Vanessa Hudgens.

“I don’t like her,” Bretman said, recalling meeting Vanessa once during a sponsored trip to Coachella. “We were both there for Sugarbear Hair. This was, like, young me — like, short hair me. So I think, like, 2017 down, maybe 2018, even.”

“She was there, and she was talking to the CEO of Sugarbear Hair, and I was friends with the Sugarbear Hair CEO,” Bretman explained. “I’d been to his house, and we would talk and shit like that. And I remembered her talking to him, but obviously, I was trying to get his attention, so I’m, like, waving. I’m like — I forgot his name, honestly. Let’s just say it was Chris. [I’m] like, ‘Chris!’ Like waving at him — not at her. And she literally looks at me and tries to hide.”

“I’m like, first of all, I’m not saying hi to you… I’m not a fan,” Bretman said, before criticizing Vanessa for playing a Latine character on High School Musical despite being Filipino. “I was always Team Sharpay,” he added, referring to Ashley Tisdale’s character.

Bretman went on to claim that Vanessa then grabbed a woman — whom he believes was her assistant — to create distance between them. “She grabs her hand and makes her stand in front of her to kind of, like, block, because at that point, like, I was walking toward them to say hi to the CEO of Sugarbear Hair,” she claimed.

While some may view Vanessa as the “Coachella queen,” Bretman said, “I still don’t give a fuck. I was not fucking saying hi to you, Vanessa. There’s no reason for you to be hiding or having to have your assistant hide you because the only ones here are the ones invited.”
