👠 SHOCKING BGC NIGHTMARE: SARAH LAHBATI ‘EXPELLED’ FROM ELITE CLUB! WAS SHE THROWN OUT FOR DATING AN ‘IT GIRL’S’ EX? THE TATLER BALL AFTER-PARTY SCANDAL! 💔

THE CLUB CONFRONTATION: ENERGY SHIFTS, POWER ACTS

The glamorous after-party for the prestigious Tatler Ball turned into a scene ripped straight from a society drama, with rumors swirling that actress Sarah Lahbati was “expelled” from the exclusive Medusa bar in BGC. The alleged reason has nothing to do with misconduct or intoxication, but with the cold, hard reality of elite social warfare.

According to a viral netizen account, the moment Sarah Lahbati walked through the door, the “energy in the room changed.” The tension centered on Rosanna “Roso” Zubel, a powerful and well-known “It Girl” and Gen Z heiress, who was already seated with a formidable crew, including beauty queens Pia Wurtzbach and Georgina Wilson.

The events unfolded with terrifying speed and chilling, silent efficiency:

The Declaration: Roso allegedly turned to her father, Iñigo Zobel (who was also present), and declared that she did not want to see Sarah Lahbati in the club, stating plainly that she “did not like” the actress.

The Intervention: Iñigo Zobel immediately stood up and spoke to the bar staff.

The Expulsion: Within moments, staff members quietly approached Sarah, spoke to her civilly, and escorted her out of the bar.

The entire sequence was a silent, devastating exercise in social power. There were no shouts or public scenes—just the quiet, undeniable authority of wealth dictating who belongs and who does not. Lahbati reportedly left without complaint, but witnesses noted her shock and the stares of the assembled crowd.

THE MOTIVE: EX-BOYFRIEND AND PETTY VENGEANCE?

The alleged reason behind Roso Zobel’s drastic action points directly to a bitter love triangle involving Marty Romualdez, the son of Congressman Martin Romualdez (and a councilor in Samar).

The Timeline: It is widely speculated that Roso and Marty dated first. After their relationship ended, Marty allegedly began dating Sarah Lahbati, a connection that became public around June of the same year through circulating photos.

The Power Play: The most recent report suggests that Roso and Marty have since reconciled. This has led to the overwhelming public consensus that Roso’s order to expel Sarah was a public display of petty jealousy and vengeance—a warning to her ex-boyfriend’s former flame.

The confrontation at the after-party—where Roso was present with her father (an elite figure) and Sarah was present as a celebrity friend of another prominent doctor, Dr. Ivy Teo—underscores the devastating power imbalance. Netizens universally argue that Roso, as a young heiress, felt entitled to use her family’s status to quickly and quietly remove her romantic rival.

THE PUBLIC VERDICT: SPOILED BRAT VS. SYMPATHY

The public reaction has been fiercely divided, but largely sympathetic toward Sarah Lahbati:

Reaction Camp
Key Sentiments

Team Sarah
Sympathy for the Victim: Fans believe Sarah was an invited guest (likely with a reservation from her brand partner) and was treated unfairly.

Outcry Against Roso
“Spoiled Brat” Allegations: Many saw Roso’s alleged actions as a blatant, immature abuse of power. Comments included, “That’s Roso exercising real rich kid brat,” and “If she had Sarah kicked out… then she is just another spoiled brat with a bully of a father.”

Focus on Sarah’s Journey
Rooting for Success: Many are urging Sarah to focus on her personal recovery after her recent high-profile separation from her husband, Richard Gutierrez (announced in 2023), and to avoid the drama. “That’s God taking you away from things that are not meant for you,” one fan wrote.

Condemnation of Marty
“Not Worth Fighting Over”: Several comments dismissed Marty Romualdez, arguing that both beautiful women were “too good to fight over one guy.”

The sentiment is that Roso Zobel, despite her beauty and immense wealth, sacrificed her reputation for a cheap, public victory, while Sarah Lahbati maintained her dignity by quietly departing.

A SILENT WAR: WHAT COMES NEXT?

The bar staff has reportedly confirmed the general truth of the incident to local media, validating the netizen’s viral account. However, both the Medusa bar and Sarah Lahbati have maintained official silence, offering no statement.

Sarah’s supporters are urging her to prioritize her peace and her children, and to let the incident pass without engaging. This act of being silently “kicked out” after a glamorous ball has already done irreparable damage to the reputation of the alleged perpetrator.

The incident is a chilling reminder of the unspoken rules of the BGC elite—that wealth and status can immediately overturn professional courtesy and social invitation. Sarah Lahbati, already navigating a difficult separation, must now face the public humiliation of being symbolically thrown out of an elite circle, all because she allegedly dated the ex-boyfriend of an “It Girl.” The silent war has been declared, and the high-society battlefield is littered with the remnants of ruined reputations and shattered friendships.
