Sinita ng isang umano'y independent curator at cultural critic si Kapuso star Beauty Gonzalez dahil sa pagsusuot ng gintong kuwintas at hikaw na aniya ay “grave robber stuff" o nakaw umano mula sa gamit ng mga sinaunang pumanaw na tao, o mga ninuno.
Ibinida ni Beauty ang tungkol sa alahas sa kaniyang Facebook post matapos ang gala night, na itinerno niya sa kaniyang nude corseted gown.
"My look for #GMaGala2023 is an appreciation for Philippine Ancestral Gold," aniya.
"My Centuries old Gold Neck Piece and Earrings are Excavated Eye and Mouth Covers from distant places like Butuan and Surigao, beautifully reworked in this modern setting by my favorite Jeweler Erica Concepcion Reyes."

Bagay na inalmahan naman ng curator na si "Marian Pastor Roces" sa kaniyang Facebook post nitong Martes, Hulyo 25, 2023.
"Someone (tells) this woman that the orifice covers she is paying 'homage' to are grave robber stuff. Because if these were legally excavated, the pieces would belong to the National Museum or the Bangko Sentral."
"Or: if the pieces were excavated decades ago and therefore privately owned by sensible collectors before current restrictions, the question still remains: why death masks as necklace?"
"Sure, the owners have been dead for a thousand years. BUT."
"This fashion victim is wearing mouth and eye covers: around 10 of them. Which is to say that the necklace was fashioned from excavations of many individuals. That is an astounding number of desecrated graves!"
"How on earth is this an homage, exhibiting impunity and crassness? Wearing archaeological gold death pieces, flaunting excess, is odious."
"Ignorance (blended with arrogance) can't possibly be fashionable."
"GMA: shame on you."
