Do you remember Kim Nichole Baranda, the daughter of model Phoemela Baranda? She used to appear in the reality show “Pinoy Big Brother: All In” on 2014.
Back in May 2014, ABS-CBN News reported that the young woman flashed her middle finger in a photo that immediately went viral on social media. What happened?
She was asked by Big Brother himself to explain the photo on her first night at the house since she was initially tagged as the “Sweet Revelation of Makati.”
Nichole entered the show’s “Confession Room” and said that she was making random poses on a “normal day.” She uploaded the pictures on Twitter but admitted that she was afraid her mom would get disappointed over the particular gesture.
She was quoted as saying:
“Madi-disappoint po siya kasi hindi niya naman po ako tinuruan ng gano’n. Ayoko pong isipan niya na ganoon akong klaseng kid. Kung nakita po niya ‘yon, if ever, hindi niya po alam ‘yung buong story. Hindi ko po masasabi sa kanya na random poses ‘yung ginagawa ko.”




The then-15-year-old said that the picture does not at all “define” her as a person. Eventually, Kim Nichole Baranda got evicted from the house on her 64th day.
In a different report from the same source, Nichole shared the mixed emotions she had upon joining the reality show. The young woman said upon her eviction:
“Siyempre po masaya din po, dahil makakasama ko na po mom ko, friends, makakapag-aral na po ako. Madami na po akong magagawa sa labas, and siyempre po, sad din po na maiiwan ko po yung mga housemates dito sa loob ng bahay. Mami-miss ko po sila, yung mga ginagawa po namin doon sa loob ng bahay, ‘yun po.”
Since then, she has not made any waves at all. Nichole did not join the showbiz industry and continued her life as a typical teenager.



However, she identifies herself as an “influencer,” based on her profile bio on Instagram (with the handle of kim.baranda, where she has 397,000 followers as of this writing.
A quick scroll through her feed and you will see her travel pictures with her friends and boyfriend. She has recently visited Zambales in November 2017.



Other than that, she remains in a low profile nowadays.
