MANILA, Philippines– Dennis Padilla publicly expressed dissatisfaction with his treatment at the wedding of his daughter, Claudia Barretto, on April 8, claiming he was treated as a “visitor” rather than the father of the bride.
Barretto married her longtime partner, Basti Lorenzo, who is the son of businessman Martin Ignacio Lorenzo and brother to Mateo Lorenzo, the husband of actress Erich Gonzales.
Padilla aired his grievances through an Instagram post that has since been deleted, where he wrote on a yellow paper expressing his feelings of being misled and marginalized at the event.
In his now-removed post, Padilla mentioned his exclusion from the wedding program, further emphasizing his disappointment in how he was treated during the ceremony.
Padilla’s comments came just hours after the wedding took place, adding to the tension surrounding the family dynamics.
Barretto and Lorenzo’s wedding was a private affair, and details about the ceremony and attendees remain limited.
No statements have been made by Barretto or other family members regarding Padilla’s public comments.
Padilla is a well-known actor and comedian in the Philippines, while his daughter, Barretto, is recognized as a singer and model.
