<p>Businesswoman and celebrity Dani Barretto seemed to have had enough as she responded to Dennis Padilla’s comment about her guest appearance on Kylie Verzosa’s<em> Almost Honest</em> podcast. In an Instagram post by the podcast, the actor said he would “answer point by point” Dani&#x27;s statements in the episode.</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-9" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DX_j-Ffiaq6/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A9%2C%22os%22%3A6461489.3999996185%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1257" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-9" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>In the podcast, Dani never named who she was referring to about the screaming episodes that her mom went through in the past. </p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2026/5/8/dani-barretto-credits-mom-marjorie-barretto-for-raising-strong-women-1401"><strong>READ:Dani Barretto credits mom Marjorie Barretto for raising strong women</strong></a></div><p>&quot;Nasanay kami doon. We saw the yelling, we heard every yelling, the screaming, everything my mom went through. Tumatak sa amin yun di ba? Mga bata kami noon, but that stayed with us,” she shared in the podcast.</p><p>The clip –– which was shared by the podcast on their Instagram–– was seen by Dennis. He commented on the post and stated he wanted to answer back.</p><p>“I will answer point by point,” he claimed.</p><p>Hours after his comment, Dani called him out, recalling the alleged experience she and her siblings had in the past.</p><p>“I think you’re forgetting we all lived in the same house. That we woke up to your screams almost every morning. Kung hindi si mom sinisigawan mo, one of the help. This is what you always do, use social media to &#x27;defend&#x27; yourself and spread more lies and gaslight your children and now me,” she wrote.</p><p>The celebrity daughter continued to question her former stepfather&#x27;s motives with his comment. </p><p>“You keep pushing this narrative na kinawawa ka. Weren’t you the abusive one? Kahit nasaan tayo, kahit sa mall, sa grocery, wala kang pinipiling lugar para may sigawan. Default mo yan noon hanggang ngayon,” she continued.</p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/2024/10/1/marjorie-barretto-julia-barretto-hold-baby-shower-for-dani-barretto-1516"><strong>READ: Marjorie Barretto, Julia Barretto hold baby shower for Dani Barretto</strong></a></div><p>Dani alleged that Dennis would call his children late at night just to scream at them. In her comment, she made sure to express how “enough is enough” with what’s happening.</p><p>“Di ba tatawag ka sa mga anak mo mostly laging madaling araw kasi lasing ka para murahin at sigawan mo lang sila? And now, know-it-all pa ako? Ikaw nanaman kawawa? Si mom na naman sisiraan mo. Enough is enough,” she expressed.</p><p>“All your kids know who you are. That’s why most of them have no communication with you. Because you burned bridges with each of them. Pero sa kwento mo, sila ang mali and ikaw pa rin ang kawawa. Make it make sense,” Dani ended.</p><p>Meanwhile, netizens had mixed reactions to the online feud and Dani has since then deleted her comment, but copies of it have spread on social media. Dennis has yet to respond as of this writing. </p>
