SHOCKING REVELATION: Gene Padilla Allegedly Reveals “REAL” Cause Behind Dennis Padilla’s Sudden Death – Is Marjorie Barretto to Blame?

In a story that’s rapidly catching fire on social media, comedian Gene Padilla has allegedly broken his silence about the mysterious and sudden passing of his cousin, veteran actor and comedian Dennis Padilla. While the news remains unverified by official sources, online speculation and emotional public reactions have fueled theories pointing to a deeper, more painful truth behind the tragedy.

“He Died With a Broken Heart”

According to unconfirmed audio clips circulating on various platforms, Gene Padilla was heard expressing sorrow, hinting that Dennis may have passed away not just from physical illness, but possibly from emotional turmoil brought on by years of estrangement from his children—and most notably, from his ex-partner Marjorie Barretto.

“Dennis was carrying a pain no one could see. He longed to be understood, especially by those he once called family,” the voice in the clip says.

Many netizens believe that this statement was a subtle yet direct shot at the long-standing family feud that has haunted Dennis for years. His public pleas for reconnection with his children—especially Julia Barretto—had made headlines multiple times, but reconciliation never seemed to materialize.

Clues from His Final Social Media Posts?

In the days leading to the reported incident, Dennis Padilla’s social media pages were flooded with cryptic and emotional messages. Followers noticed a string of posts that spoke of regret, loneliness, and forgiveness.

“You only realize what you had when it’s gone,” read one of his recent Instagram stories.
“I just wanted a chance,” said another.

Fans were quick to revisit these posts following the circulating news, and many are now interpreting them as silent cries for help.

Is Marjorie Barretto Being Held Accountable by the Public?

While no formal accusations have been made, online comments have been pouring in—some questioning Marjorie Barretto’s role in the emotional decline of her former partner.

“Why didn’t they patch things up? Why didn’t the family step in?”
“He deserved peace. He deserved love.”
“Even if separated, a father should never be ignored like that.”

Supporters of Dennis are demanding answers and justice—not necessarily in a legal sense, but emotionally, for the closure they feel Dennis never received.

A Mysterious Last Will?

Adding fuel to the fire are rumors that Dennis Padilla had left behind a Last Will and Testament that might name unexpected beneficiaries—some even speculate a secret partner or an illegitimate child may be involved. While these are purely speculative at this stage, it wouldn’t be the first time shocking details are revealed posthumously in the celebrity world.

“It’s always those left behind who must deal with the truth,” one fan tweeted.

Gene Padilla’s “Statement” – Real or Fake?

Marjorie Barretto defends kids from Dennis Padilla: ‘The kids are embarrassed’
As she bares details of Dennis’ alleged physical, verbal, financial, and emotional abuse
Marjorie Barretto finally broke her silence on her tumultuous relationship with ex-husband Dennis Padilla while defending their kids, Claudia, Julia, and Leon, from criticism whenever Padilla was interviewed about their family.

In a two-part interview with entertainment insider Ogie Diaz on Friday, April 11, the actress-politician was in fighting form, as she accused Dennis of intentionally making it seem that she forced Claudia, Julia, and Leon to distance themselves from the latter. She also pointed out that their children and Dennis have been “estranged” for many years.

“I think what he really wants to do is to accuse me [of orchestrating] to make him look stupid… the story has grown, it’s gotten too complicated but he wants to point out that Marjorie is the one behind it all. Let’s just put it this way, Dennis and my other children have been estranged for many, many years,” she said.

“Why are they estranged? Because for the past 10 years, Dennis has done nothing but give interviews,” she continued.

(I think what he really wants to do is to accuse me of orchestrating to make it seem like he was stupid. The story dragged on, and it became too messy. But what he wanted to do was to accuse me of being the mastermind behind this. Let’s just put it this way — Dennis and my other children have been estranged for many, many years. Why are they estranged? Because for the past 10 years, Dennis did nothing but take on many interviews.)

Due to Dennis’ many interviews, Marjorie stated that their children will be subjected to humiliation and negative remarks as a result of them. “He will cry and fish for sympathy and make it really seem that he misses the children.”

“I really think he does miss the children,” she continued. “But the point is, the children are humiliated. They’re hurt whenever the public talks about them. He might make it seem that he’s not ruining their reputation, but my children are bashed whenever he is interviewed.”

Marjorie also pointed out that Dennis was allegedly saying negative things about her to their children, including moments where the latter accused her of “brainwashing” them to go against the actor-comedian. The ex-couple tied the knot in 1995 and their annulment was finalized in 2009.

“For 18 years that we were apart, she made it out that I was the one preventing [my children] from seeing each other, I was brainwashing my children [to go against] Dennis. That’s not true,” she said.

“Every time he borrows my children… I’m the one he criticizes my children. Dennis, don’t ever deny it because what you always say when you pick up my children is, ‘Grow up, I will tell you what your mom did to me. Grow up, all the time.’ and my children are protective of me.”

(For 18 years, we’ve been separated, and he made it seem like I was preventing my kids from meeting him. Or I would brainwash my kids to go against Dennis. That is not true. Whenever he would borrow my kids, he would make slanderous remarks against me to my kids. Dennis, don’t deny this. Ever. Whenever I pick them up, you would always tell them: “When you grow up, I will tell you what your mom did to me. When you grow up.” All the time. And my children are protective of me.)During the interview, Marjorie further claimed that Dennis “never fought for joint custody” and “never borrowed them for sleepovers,” which in turn, made her confused about his intentions.

“You want me to go to school, I have been financially present for 18 years. But you want to discredit me to our children… I have been honest to my children. I never lie to my children,” she said. “People say, I hate my children with him, but a good five, six, seven years of [our separation], he would see the kids freely.”

(You want me to send them to school. I was financially present for 18 years. But you want to tarnish my reputation to our kids. I have been honest with my children. I never lie to my children. People claimed that I prevented my children from seeing him. But a good five, six, or seven years of our separation, he would see the kids freely.)

‘Explosive temper,’ alleged abuse
Touching on Dennis’ alleged “explosive temper,” Marjorie further claimed that the actor-comedian was “physically abusive” toward her and that she kept quiet about it for 18 years.

“Dennis [forgot] that they grew up in a household where we always fight. They know what the system of our lifestyle is as a married couple… he was physically abusive to me,” she said. “He has a very bad temper… any little thing that [has] a fight, he will punch. He will slap. My kids saw that.”

(Dennis forgot that they grew up in a household where they always fought. They knew our way of living as a married couple. He was physically abusive to me. He has a very bad temper. Despite fighting over small things, he would punch me. He would slap me. My kids saw that.)According to Marjorie, there was a moment where Dennis “hit [her] so hard in her ear” which resulted in the loss of her eardrum, just a few days after Julia was born.

“The biggest physical abuse that he did to me was when Julia was a few days old… he was angry with me, it was like I complained about something. I was walking into the room from the back, he hit me so hard in my ear, I actually flew. I lost my eardrum. Up to this day, I suffered from that. I don’t have an eardrum… That was surgery.”

(The biggest physical abuse that he did to me was when Julia was a few days old. He was mad at me because I complained about something. I was going inside our room when, from the back, he hit me so hard in my ear. I went flying. My eardrum was gone. Up to this day, I have suffered from that. I don’t have an eardrum. I underwent surgery because of it.)

Many interviews
At some point during her chat with Diaz, Marjorie noted that Dennis started discussing their familial woes in interviews when Julia started acting, which ultimately resulted in their daughter “losing endorsements.” She also alleged that the actor-comedian demanded to know her schedule and upcoming projects.

“You know what that means. I don’t want to say it on TV… it’s like ohmigosh, I’m not part of it that the kid is shining. Then beginning of that Julia was an artist, that’s when he started giving and granting interviews,” she said. “Julia would lose endorsements with his insults. We don’t know who you’re really angry with? Not me? Why are you doing this to my children? But I kept quiet all these years.”

(You know what I’m trying to say. I don’t want to say it on TV. It’s like ohmigosh, I’m not part of my child’s journey as she got famous. When Julia became an actress, that’s when he started to give and grant interviews. Julia would lose endorsements due to his claims. We don’t know who you are truly angry at. Aren’t you mad at me? Why are you doing this to my children? But I kept quiet all these years.)

The actress-politician, who said her kids are already “secure” with her love, further claimed that Dennis is “their trigger,” although she stopped herself because it is “not [her] story to tell.”

“If they talk to their father and yell and swear at me on the phone, the children tremble. My kids’ trigger is their father. His voice alone, they tremble. It’s not my story to tell… Dennis doesn’t want a relationship with his children, he wants attention,” she said.

(Whenever they would talk to their father, and he would shout and curse me over the phone, my kids would shake. My kids’ trigger is their father. They would already shake upon hearing his voice. It’s not my story to tell. Dennis doesn’t want to have a relationship with our kids. He wants attention.) Marjorie stated that ending her marriage with Dennis for good also meant that she reclaimed her power. “When I left you 18 years ago, I removed your power over me.

“I suffered so much: physical abuse, financial abuse, verbal abuse was even worse to me than physical abuse,” she continued. “I will take the beating anytime but his verbal abuse was so cheap that you don’t know where the words and terms came from. I don’t want my children to feel that.”

Marjorie also gave her own account of Claudia’s wedding, including the latter’s decision to invite the actor-comedian, as well as the intimate gathering leading up to their youngest child’s special day.

Dennis has yet to respond to the “Silakbo” star’s claims, as of press time.
