Esther Lahbati, mom of actress Sarah Lahbati, appears unbothered by Annabelle Rama’s supposed tirades, with the former saying there’s “no need” to pay attention to her.

Esther said this in response to a netizen who left a comment on her Instagram post on Sunday, June 9.

“Tingnan niyo po ‘yung post ni Ms. Annabelle Rama sa Facebook oh,” the netizen said, to which Esther replied, “[Bakit?] No need, abala lang sa akin. Thank you.”

In a separate comment, Esther added, “Hayaan na natin siya. Si Lord na bahala sa kanya.”

While the Instagram user did not immediately state the post she was referring to, it can be noted that Rama earlier took a swipe at someone whom she likened to the film character of possessed doll Chucky.

“Ang gusto makalaban ni Annabelle Doll si Chucky. Alam niyo na kung sino yun,” Rama said.

Rama did not name outright the person she was alluding to, although she hinted that most of the guesses were wrong. She further noted that the name of the person starts with the letter E, and not S.

Netizens then speculated that Rama might be referring to her estranged daughter-in-law Sarah, and her mom Esther. This, however, was not immediately confirmed or denied by Rama.

Meanwhile, also included in Rama’s earlier post was what seems to be her expression of approval of actress Barbie Imperial and her rumored romance with the former’s son, actor Richard Gutierrez.

Gutierrez and Imperial have been hounded by dating speculations since early this year. The pair, who were spotted in several instances together, have yet to confirm or deny the rumors as of this writing.
