Bretman Rock recalls Coachella encounter with Vanessa Hudgens
Social media star Bretman Rock shared a blunt assessment of a past meeting with actress Vanessa Hudgens, calling it his “most disappointing encounter” with a celebrity. He described the interaction during an episode of the Sweet or Savory podcast, recounting that the incident took place years earlier at Coachella.
What Bretman says happened
Bretman said he and Hudgens were both at the Sugar Bear house to pick up Coachella tickets. He explained that he was friends with the CEO of Sugar Bear Hair and was approaching the executive to say hello when the actress and a second person — which Bretman believes was an assistant — were nearby.
According to Bretman’s account, Hudgens saw him and tried to hide. He said she then asked the assistant to stand in front of her to block him as he approached. Bretman told the podcast: “I don’t like her like literally,” and emphasized that he wasn’t approaching Hudgens but the Sugar Bear CEO. He also referenced past roles, saying he had “always team Sharpay,” a nod to Hudgens’ High School Musical character.
Bretman expressed frustration that both he and Hudgens were invited to the same event and, in his view, should have been treated equally. He added, “Girl, we have the same rate. It’s not like you’re getting an artist pass and I’m getting a general one. I know time and place, you’re not above, I’m not under you.” He also called out a perceived snub from a fellow Filipino-American, saying, “I’m [a] Filipino b*tch you can’t even like your own people.”
Reaction and context
The comments came up during Bretman’s candid podcast conversation and have sparked attention online. Bretman has been outspoken on social issues and past celebrity encounters, and his remark that he “still doesn’t give a f*ck” about Hudgens underscores the strength of his feelings about that moment.
Vanessa Hudgens has not issued a public response to Bretman’s remarks as of this writing. Neither side has provided additional details or independent confirmation beyond Bretman’s account on the podcast.
Why this matters
The exchange highlights how interactions between creators and established actors can shape public perceptions, particularly when shared on high-profile podcasts. Bretman’s account also taps into broader conversations about accessibility and etiquette at celebrity events such as Coachella.
For now, the story remains a single-sided recounting from Bretman Rock. If Hudgens or her representatives respond, the record could change; until then, the podcast episode stands as Bretman’s version of the encounter.
