“I’m sorry but we cannot & don’t entertain people we hardly know, let alone allow strangers to come to our home uninvited. sorry to disappoint u but its not proper & right to just go to anyone’s house when they don’t even know u,” Barretto said.
“My staff we’re just doing their Job & that is to Protect me Especially my CHILDREN.Godbless hope this stops here with me & doesn’t happen to anyone in the future.Pls Respect our PRIVACY,” she added.
