Amid her mom Inday Barretto and sister Marjorie Barretto making headlines over their public exchange of claims, Claudine Barretto intrigued netizens with a cryptic quote on being labeled as the ‘villain.’
Claudine reposted a video from Instagram user Mindset Warrior through her Instagram Stories on Monday, Nov. 3.
The clip included a photo of a lion while a man can be heard saying in the background, ‘They labeled you the villain just because you finally said enough. You tolerated the lies; you swallowed your pain; you played nice in a world that kept throwing knives behind your back, but the moment you spoke up, you became the problem.’
‘They loved the version of you that stayed quiet, that took the blame, that kept bleeding just to keep the peace. But the day you stopped being their puppet, you turned into their nightmare. Now you’re the toxic one, the cold one, the changed one,’ the man continued.
It was further pointed out that the one speaking changed because he was ‘tired of breaking [his] back to build bridges for people who set fire to everyone.’
‘I’m the storm they thought would never hit, the silence they should have feared, the one who finally realized they never loved me. They loved controlling me,’ he added.
Claudine did not include any caption in her post. Prior to this, Inday had an interview with showbiz reporter Ogie Diaz in which she accused Claudine’s estranged husband Raymart Santiago of being abusive toward the actress during their marriage.
Inday, in the same interview, also claimed that she and her daughter Marjorie do not get along fine because she ‘feels rejection’ from the latter. The Barretto matriarch talked about the rift between Marjorie and her older sister Gretchen Barretto as well, and echoed the supposed sentiment of some that such stemmed from ‘rivalry and inggit’ (envy).
Marjorie refuted her mom’s claims which, she said, were made to make Claudine ‘look good and clean.’
Claudine has yet to publicly comment on this as of this writing.
