The Barretto family is at it again, with its beautiful members engaged in the latest not-so-lovely round of slings, arrows and brickbats hurled at one another by different cliques within the egregiously contentious clan.
Gretchen Barretto has had a pretty bad week parrying intrigues, the fallout of a very public family feud with mom Inday and sister Claudine.
The Barretto sisters are at it again. Behind the beauty of Gretchen and Claudine’s faces lies so many ugly family secrets which have now become public knowledge through the exposé of their mom and siblings. But can’t we be spared of the gory details?
A house divided, the Barrettos are, in a full-blown family feud of telenovela proportions. Inquirer.Net and Radyo Inquirer followers are likewise torn. (Were this a nuclear war, the radioactive fallout could be permanently damaging.) As matriarch Inday’s allegations (in defense of Claudine) were met with equally fiery counter-allegations from son Joaquin (in defense of Gretchen), the public became unwitting, perhaps unwilling, witnesses to the unraveling tearjerker. At press time, another sister (Gia) joined the fray and sided with Claudine.
The letter of our mother which was published earlier today was appalling and hurtful and would shock anyone’s sensibilities. But what bothers me most is that while she lambasts my sister, Gretchen, to no end, and pictures her as a threat to evil personified, she seems to have forgotten the truth.
Relatives of Warring Couple have joined the messy fray. Vociferous Relative of Male Half of WC apparently has an axe to grind against the family of Female Half. Well-placed source says VR goaded MH into making trouble and asking for extra moolah from FH, who naturally went ballistic. FH’s loved ones are livid.
The career of controversial actress Claudine Barretto remains in the doldrums as she waits for a definite, long-term contract from any one of the main TV networks.

The Court of Appeals granted the request of TV5 as it issued a temporary restraining order against the decision of the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board’s decision suspending “T3,” the news and public affairs program of the Tulfo brothers on TV5.
Studio Insider has always had a nasty reputation in the biz. Even though he can’t afford it, gay SI tends to be too generous with young hunks. Is this the reason that SI was once steeped in financial problems?
“T3″, a news and public affairs program on TV5, has been suspended for three months after its hosts used the program to threaten a celebrity couple who figured in a brawl with their brother at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in April.
Ruffa Gutierrez and Mariel Rodriguez will be leaving for the United States to attend TV5’s grand launch overseas. Guest cohosts will be pinch-hitting for them in “Paparazzi.” Last Saturday, Mariel told me that BB Gandanghari wants to substitute for her in the show while she’s away. So Mariel teased Zoren, “OK lang ba sa ’yo [...]
Claudine Barretto stated in a Quezon City court Wednesday reasons why she and her husband, Raymart Santiago, need to be granted of a temporary protection order against the Tulfo brothers who openly threatened them in “T3: Kapatid Sagot Kita”, their late-afternoon public-affairs show on TV5, following the recent airport brawl.
