RR Enriquez on Dennis Padilla: “He crossed the lines”
RR ENRIQUEZ – The TV personality shared her honest thoughts on Dennis Padilla’s emotional reaction after feeling like a mere “visitor” at the wedding of his daughter, Claudia Barretto.
Claudia recently tied the knot with Basti Lorenzo, and while Dennis was present, he expressed sadness over not being part of the entourage—something that sparked public conversation.
In an Instagram post, RR sympathized with Dennis as a father who must have been deeply hurt. However, she also highlighted the reality that being a biological parent doesn’t automatically grant emotional closeness or a place in important milestones—especially when a consistent presence was lacking during the child’s formative years.
RR pointed out that Dennis’ strained relationship with his children didn’t happen overnight. His public outbursts and emotional posts on social media, which often criticized his children, have affected their bond. “Wala silang solid relationship bilang mag-tatay,” she noted. “Plus yung humiliation na ginawa niya sa kids niya everytime pinu-post niya sa social media.”
While Dennis lamented not being included in the entourage, RR reminded him to be grateful that he was still invited to witness the special day. “For him to witness the wedding dapat grateful na siya… Because he knows in his heart na madami siya pagkukulang at nagawang mali sa mga anak niya,” she said.
RR also acknowledged that the situation could have been handled better with clearer communication. She suggested that Dennis should have been informed in advance about not being part of the ceremony, allowing him to decide whether or not to attend.
Ultimately, RR emphasized that the pain Dennis is now experiencing is a result of past choices—particularly his habit of venting personal matters online. “Masakit talaga yan para sa isang ama pero consequences yan ng mga pinaggagagawa niya. Hindi palaging kayong mga magulang ang iintindihin at uunawain. Lalo kung paulit ulit niyo pinapahiya at sinasaktan sa social media yung anak ninyo.”
She ended with a strong reminder: publicly shaming one’s children invites criticism, not healing. “I think he crossed the lines naman na talaga for humiliating his kids on social media. Putting them in a situation na everyone [will] bash them because they think wala silang kuwentang anak.”
