After days of being silent over their reported altercation during their father’s wake, Marjorie Barretto finally broke her silence against sisters Gretchen and Claudine.
In a long Instagram post, Marjorie began by saying that her sisters are spreading lies towards her.
“There are very disturbing news going around right now. All these years, I have kept my peace, and I always chose to ignore all the LIES that my sisters spread about me and my children. But nothing can get lower than this. ,” Marjorie writes.
The actress said that her heart was ‘saddened’ when her sisters twisted the real story and disclosed it to the press while their family is still grieving.
“Giving false statements to the press, and twisting stories about what really happened in my Father’s wake is by far the most epic one. They have tried so hard over the years to destroy my name, I have nothing to lose anymore at this point.I love my family very much, they are my core,” she said.
Marjorie also dismissed speculations that she is not open for a reconciliation between her two sisters.
“I am all for reconciliation. We were hoping for that all those 16 days that my Father was fighting for his life in the hospital. It would have been nice if she made her peace in the quiet of my Fathers room. With no cameras. Don’t be fooled by the statements of my sisters, they are leaving out a very important detail of what really caused pain and tension in the wake,” she said.
She also made an appeal to respect her family first in these difficult times. She will, however, say her piece until their father is laid to rest.
“May I request everyone to allow our family to grieve, it’s our last day with our Father today. Please hold your judgement and opinions until he is laid to rest,then WE WILL FOR THE FIRST TIME SPEAK THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH,” she added.
Marjorie explained that once she speaks the truth her family’s life will be in danger.
“I would like to ask for prayers too. Because when I speak the truth, my life and my children’s life will be put in danger. My sisters boyfriend is powerful in a very bad way( and I don’t mean Tony Boy)And in speaking the truth I won’t be able to leave his name out. And to our dear President Duterte, thank you for being there for the family and sharing in our grief. My apologies that your name was dragged into this. You were so kind to me. I will always be grateful,” she said.
