Kris Aquino tells follower not to call Gretchen a ‘mistress’
She may not have sided with Kris Aquino in her legal battle against businessman Nicko Falcis but the former TV host does not like calling Gretchen Barretto a “mistress.”
Aquino made this statement when she responded on Instagram to a netizen who called Barretto a mistress.
The Instagram user said Barretto should just stay off Aquino’s legal issues against Falcis and should just mind her own business.
Explaining at length her position on the matter, Aquino said: “Granted she may hate me – but don’t you think the 2 facing criminal charges are amplifying her in order to distract people’s anger from them? Why do you think hindi ako pumapatol sa kanya? Kasi hindi nya ninakawan ang mga anak ko.”
Aquino then requested the netizen not to call Barretto a mistress especially because her mom, late President Corazon Aquino, had a soft spot for Barretto’s partner, Tonyboy Cojuangco.
“At the end of the day, her daughter’s father is still my second cousin. His dad & my mom are 1st cousins. His lolo & my lolo are brothers. So dedma na lang sa rants because I love my mom & mom always had a soft spot for Tonyboy. So please follow my example? Para na lang sa memory ng mom ko,” she said.

Claudine Barretto was discovered in 1992, by talent manager Douglas Quijano through an older sister, Gretchen Barretto, also an actress. That same year, she landed her first major role on television when she was cast for ABS-CBN’s youth-oriented variety show, Ang TV.
Gretchen Barretto News
MANILA, Philippines – Gretchen Barretto may have patched things up with the youngest sister Claudine, but when it comes to another sister, Marjorie, the same doesn’t seem to be happening any time soon.
In an interview on DZMM Saturday, March 23, Gretchen explained why she’s not ready to face Marjorie. “May kasabihan na ‘never say never’ pero allow me and indulge me. Gusto kong sabihin with regards to Marjorie: ‘never,'” she said. (There’s a saying that goes ‘never say never,’ but allow me and indulges me. I just want to say with regards to Marjorie: ‘never.’)
“I value my life, my mental health, my peace, and my finances. I am not ready and I don’t think I will ever be for Marjorie… She has become so toxic in my life. I would not stop loving her but I also love myself, I also love my family,” Gretchen added.
She said even if some members of her family have frowned upon the kind of life she lives, she doesn’t want to be crucified for it. Gretchen added that while she values family, she finds happiness in other people who welcomed her even if they weren’t related.
Why Gretchen is speaking up: Prior to patching up with Claudine, Gretchen had been estranged from her parents and siblings for many years. The actress recently spoke up after Marjorie’s daughter Dani spoke about her estrangement from father Kier Legaspi in a YouTube video.
In that video, Dani said that her mom would walk her down the aisle since she raised her by herself. This did not sit well with Gretchen, who pointed out that she helped Marjorie raise Dani and that Kier had tried to reach out to his daughter.
“I love Dani. And uminit ang dibdib ko (my chest heated up), honestly as somebody who took care of her and I really, really wish na (that) she’ll have a little gratitude in her heart,” she said.
Kier earlier penned a letter to Dani on Instagram, saying that he will always be the first man who ever loved her. – Rappler.com

Gretchen Barretto fires back at sister Marjorie: ‘You are radiating with so much anger, envy’
‘I do not have the power to orchestrate a grand entrance with the president of the Philippines,’ Gretchen writes on Instagram
As Marjorie Barretto granted an exclusive interview on primetime news program TV Patrol, Gretchen took to Instagram – in a matter of minutes – on Tuesday, October 22 to address her sister’s allegations following a confrontation at their late father Miguel’s wake.
Gretchen posted a series of 3 videos.
In the first video, she said she was not allowed to go to the hospital when their father was ailing because of Marjorie and tensions between her and Caloocan ex-mayor Recom Echeverri.
Marjorie, in the TV Patrol interview, confirmed that Echeverri is the father of her youngest daughter.
“I was not allowed to go to the hospital because of your outbursts and because there will be more tension for me to see EX MAYOR ECHIVERRI,” said Gretchen, adding that their youngest sister Claudine plans to file a molestation case against him.
“The attack of your father, as you say happened as told to me by our mother is because you ARRANGED a lunch party for dad to spite mom for being on Claudine’s side. You did not invite mom and that caused a huge dispute between our parents and the rest is history.”
Gretchen added: “Let’s stick to each point so people will better understand THE TRUTH. FYI, relax, you are radiating so much anger and envy and highly paranoid. I do not have the power to orchestrate a grand entrance with the president of the Philippines. PRDD was kind enough to offer to see me in the wake and only then I was hoping you could control your anger and overwhelming fear of the truth.”
In an earlier post, Gretchen shared a video of herself and mom Inday. She wrote as its caption: “This was a lovely, precious moment, it was about forgiveness, love & a promise to protect our new found mother/daughter relationship. It was a great opportunity to mend all the nasty words thrown to each other. It was a dream come true for me to finally hear the words I love you from my mother ( something I thought I would never hear till the day of our last breath. Words are not enough to express the feeling ( the blessing). This emotion is not the kind to EXPLODE TO A HYSTERICAL STATE as BEING CLAIMED BY MARJORIE ITCH -Very.”
Gretchen also shared another video – of the same confrontation – and said in the caption that Marjorie was “fuming.” — Rappler.com
