Dennis Padilla Stands By Brother Gene as Wedding Controversy Sparks Online Backlash
DENNIS PADILLA – Actor Dennis Padilla defends his brother Gene Padilla amid the ongoing wedding controversy, standing by him as they both face online backlash over their emotional posts about Claudia Barretto’s special day.
Dennis Padilla stood up for his brother, comedian Gene Padilla, after both became targets of online criticism related to their posts about the wedding of Dennis’s daughter, Claudia Barretto.
Gene Padilla took to Instagram to express his thoughts, responding to the negative comments from netizens with a message filled with grace and compassion.
“It’s okay if you say hurtful things. You don’t know me, and I don’t know you — but I still choose to send you love, peace, and prayers for healing,” Gene wrote, choosing a peaceful and empathetic tone instead of retaliating.
In a show of brotherly love, Dennis responded to Gene’s post, urging critics to spare his brother from the backlash. “Sa mga bashers… Please spare my brother… Itodo nyo na lang sa akin… God bless you more,” he commented.
He continued with a heartfelt message, saying, “Dear Gene… Wala kang mali… Nagbigay ka lang ng suporta sa akin… Dahil naramdaman mo ako… Salamat.”
The controversy began after both brothers shared posts that hinted at feelings of exclusion during Claudia’s wedding. Claudia is Dennis’s daughter with his former partner, Marjorie Barretto. Following the posts, Marjorie publicly denied any wrongdoing or exclusion, which only fueled the online discourse and caused fans and followers to take sides.
Despite the ongoing tension, Dennis has made it clear that his brother Gene should not be involved in any personal disputes he may have. He emphasized that Gene’s intentions were purely supportive and stemmed from empathy and concern.
Amid the drama, the Padilla brothers have shown a united front, highlighting the strength of their sibling bond. Their public messages reflect a deeper call for understanding, mutual respect, and emotional sensitivity—especially during moments when family issues become public.
In the face of harsh criticism, the Padillas chose peace over confrontation, reminding the public of the importance of compassion and solidarity during difficult times.
