Kris Aquino’s Most Notorious Feuds: A Look Back at the Queen of All Media’s Most Talked-About Clashes and Silent Fallouts

Kris Aquino has always been a force to be reckoned with—brilliant, bold, and brutally honest. Dubbed as the “Queen of All Media,” she has captivated the public not only with her wit and candor but also with her deeply personal and often publicized conflicts. In her decades-long career spanning showbiz and politics, Kris has been at the center of many high-profile misunderstandings and confrontations.

Here’s a look back at some of Kris Aquino’s most talked-about feuds:

1. Boy Abunda
Once a powerful tandem in talk shows and a solid friendship behind the scenes, Kris and Boy’s relationship grew distant after Kris gradually withdrew from showbiz and Boy continued his path at ABS-CBN. There was no loud fallout—but their “silent separation” left fans speculating and heartbroken.

2. James Yap
Her ex-husband and the father of her son Bimby, James Yap was involved in one of the most chaotic chapters of Kris’ personal life. Their separation led to public legal disputes, especially on custody issues. Still, Kris often expressed her intention to maintain respect for the father of her child.

3. Cristy Fermin
A veteran showbiz columnist, Cristy Fermin had repeatedly taken jabs at Kris—often not in a flattering light. Kris, known for speaking her mind, didn’t hold back in clapping back, which led to heated media exchanges. Eventually, both seemed to have retreated from further confrontation.

4. Ai-Ai delas Alas
Formerly close friends, a rift reportedly emerged after Ai-Ai was allegedly left out of important events in Kris’ life. The two never publicly confirmed the falling out, but their cold interactions and distance did not go unnoticed by fans.

5. Mocha Uson and Political Figures
Kris has always been vocal when it comes to defending her family’s legacy, especially against political critics. She went head-to-head on social media with government figures like Mocha Uson, responding with fiery statements when her parents—Ninoy and Cory Aquino—were disrespected.

6. Kim Chiu (Rumored)
While never confirmed, rumors once circulated of an alleged misunderstanding between Kris and Kim Chiu during a joint TV project. Kris eventually denied the rift on social media, but speculations persisted during their noticeable silence toward each other.

Endings, Healing, and Forgiveness?
Despite the controversies, Kris Aquino has also shown herself to be someone who values closure, healing, and peace. She has spoken publicly about the importance of forgiveness—especially now as she battles serious health issues.

“I may be noisy, but I value silence when it comes to pain and forgiveness,” Kris once said—a quote that still resonates deeply with many.

A Woman Who Never Backed Down from Her Truth
Each conflict, each rift, has been part of a larger story—of a woman who never shied away from defending her truth, even if it meant clashing with others. Love her or hate her, Kris Aquino has always been authentic. And in a world of pretense, that’s what makes her unforgettable.
