Janno Gibbs Fires Back at “Enabler” Accusations Over Comment on Gene Padilla’s Post
JANNO GIBBS – Singer-comedian Janno Gibbs fires back at accusations of being an “enabler” after his emotional comment on Gene Padilla’s post drew criticism from netizens.
Janno Gibbs did not hold back after receiving criticism for showing sympathy toward his friend Dennis Padilla amidst a recent family issue involving the latter’s daughter, Claudia Barretto.
The controversy began when Gene Padilla, Dennis’ brother, shared a social media post on April 9, revealing what he claimed to be the real reason behind Dennis’ heartbreak during Claudia’s wedding with Basti Lorenzo. The wedding was held on April 8 at St. James the Great Parish in Muntinlupa. Gene’s post included photos taken moments before the ceremony, showing Dennis and their mother inside the church.
In the comments section, Janno Gibbs expressed his support by posting three crying emojis, a gesture that drew flak from some netizens. Critics quickly labeled him an “enabler,” accusing him of taking sides or defending Dennis despite the sensitive family conflict.
Janno, known for his candid personality, didn’t let the accusations slide. He responded with a fiery comment, slamming those who misinterpreted his intentions.
“Mga put@ngin@nyo. Wala nmn ako sinabing sang ayon ako. Malungkot ang kaibigan ko, nakikisimpatya lang ako. Emoji lang, enabler na? Hindi ko siya pinagtatanggol, mga ul*l. Dinadamayan ko lang sa kalungkutan. Mga t@nga,” Janno wrote.
The singer clarified that his comment was not meant to validate or support Dennis’ actions but simply to show empathy toward a longtime friend going through an emotional moment. His statement drew mixed reactions online—some applauded his honesty, while others questioned the harsh tone of his response.
The situation highlights the emotional complexities within the Barretto family and the intense public scrutiny surrounding celebrity lives. As the issue continues to unfold, it remains to be seen whether Dennis Padilla or other family members will respond further, or if the dust will eventually settle after the controversy.
