Gretchen Barretto issues statement regarding Claudine's 'Buzz Ng Bayan' interview

Gretchen Barretto is currently in Thailand but she issued a statement regarding her estranged sister Claudine's interview that aired in "Buzz Ng Bayan" on Sunday. It was despite Claudine's plea for Gretchen to stop answering any questions regarding her because she doesn't want for them to be affiliated anymore.

According to Gretchen, her younger sister is "clearly hallucinating." She also denied ever speaking ill or cursing Claudine and Raymart's kids, Sabina and Santino.

"How do I debate with one who is clearly hallucinating and is under the influence of drugs and is suffering from severe mental illness? I am not one who would utter words such as 'baboy,' 'lechon,' 'laos' at 'magpakamatay ka na.' I never spoke ill or cursed Sabina nor Santino," Gretchen said in a statement she sent to ABS-CBN News in answer to Claudine's accusations that she called her names and even insulted Sabina and Santino in front of Raymart.

Gretchen also referred to the lost relationships of her parents (both of whom she's also not in good terms with) as a reflection of their character and attitude. Their parents took the side of Claudine during the height of their word war in social media last year.

"I have yet to hear Claudine and her mother and father speak the truth for once. Their current situation and lost relationships should speak volumes of the kind of character and attitude they posses."

Gretchen went further to say that the Barretto matriarch, Inday, is not the kind of mother she would wish for anyone to have.

"To the public, it shames me to say that Mrs. Inday Barretto is the kind of mother that I don't wish anyone would have. She has been our greatest pain and nightmare. She has taught us to stay away from her as far as possible in order to be safe and sane. May kasabihan, 'Ang kapatid ng magnanakaw ay sinungaling.'"
