A hot topic is once again stirring up the world of showbiz after Dennis Padilla’s brother drew heavy criticism regarding the issue of the wedding of Claudia Barretto, Dennis’ daughter. But in a surprising revelation, the actor defended his brother and said **he was not actually invited to the wedding**, so the allegations are completely false.

In an exclusive interview, Dennis emphatically said, “No one has the right to judge without knowing the whole story. My brother, he was not invited. He didn’t want him to be there, but if you’re not invited, what can you do?”

This issue arose after some comments by netizens went viral on social media that seemed to criticize Dennis’s brother for allegedly “avoiding” the occasion. Many asked why there seemed to be “no support” from Dennis’ family, especially his sister, on Claudia’s special day.

But according to Dennis, the truth is painful — **there are walls built within the family** that cannot be easily torn down. Despite this, he remains hopeful that a time will come when everything will be okay, for the sake of his children.

“Just because you’re not in the marriage, doesn’t mean you don’t care anymore. It hurts us. But we choose to remain silent and respect their decisions. And now, I have to defend my brother who did nothing wrong,” the actor added.

Many netizens also suddenly changed their views after Dennis’ side came out. Some commented: “Now it’s clear. He wasn’t invited, why is he being bashed?” and “I hope the judgment stops. Not everyone who didn’t see it doesn’t care.”

At the end of the interview, Dennis left a message — not for the bashers, but for his daughter:
“Claudia, wherever you are right now, remember that we love you. We are ready to listen, whenever you want.”

**Drama, tears, and hope amidst misunderstanding — yet another proof that behind the glitter of showbiz, there are wounded hearts and families that continue to search for light.**

Dennis Padilla defends his son-in-law: ‘Dear Gene, you’re not wrong…thank you’
Dennis Padilla is TOTALLY DEFENDING his son-in-law Gene Padilla after netizens slammed him for interfering in Claudia Barretto’s controversial wedding.

Gene was slammed by bashers when Marjorie Barretto bragged that he wasn’t invited to Dennis’s son’s wedding, but if he could comment, it would be completely honest. It seems like she even incited Dennis to get even angrier and have a bad trip with Marjorie’s children instead of stopping the comedian from just keeping quiet out of respect for his son’s wedding to Basti Lorenzo.

On his Instagram page, Gene once again posted a message to all those who are angry and rejecting him, “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.” In the comments section of Gene’s IG post, Dennis left a message. He said, “Dear Gene… You did nothing wrong… You just gave me support… Because you felt for me… Thank you (crying face, heart emojis).”

It can be recalled that on April 9, Gene shared on IG his disappointment because it was the first time he had witnessed a wedding where the bride’s father was just a “guest.”

“My brother was in tears and cried over what happened…so I said let’s go home after church and just take pictures of the bride…I also felt sorry for my mother because she was crying too…I felt the pain my sister and mother felt because I am also a father…for a long time your father has been begging and demanding attention from you children.

“Is that what those around you instilled in you…. you are all about luxury and fame…that’s all for you…we are used to hardship and we really don’t fit in with you…

“But you have made our hearts and dignity so different that you can’t even compare them…even if you ask other parents, is what you did to your father right or wrong??? Dennis Dominguez Padilla Cheeni Taa Samuel Baldivia is not the father of the BRIDE! Guest of the BRIDE!!!” Gene complained.

But after Marjorie said that the comedian was not invited to Claudia’s wedding, he was completely closed off to netizens.

Marjorie interrupts Dennis’s brother, “What are you rantining about, Gene? First thing first, no offense, you were not invited to the wedding, only mama (ex-mother in law) and Dennis.
