Kakai found an ally in Kapamilya host Kim Atienza comforting her on Twitter. 

“In other news, Hayaan mo @kakaibautista you deserve to be linked to someone more deserving of you and your talent. Kainis,” Kim wrote.

Kakai, however, remained quiet over the demand letter sent to her management Artist Gallery Management, signed by the legal counsel of Mario's management Kwaonhar Nine Nine Co., Ltd., with a subject that said, “Demanding to Cease, Desist and Refrain from further use and reference of the name of Mario Maurer.”
