In connection to the feud amidst Barretto sisters that burst since 2010, Gretchen Barretto strongly denied the accusation of her estranged sister Claudine Barretto, whose credibility was questioned by Gretchen in light of Claudine’s mental illness and the alleged history of drug abuse.

According to the report, Claudine claimed that Gretchen has insulted her and her children before the face of their father Raymart Santiago saying bad words to her like “’baboy,’ ‘lechon,’ ‘laos’ at ‘magpakamatay ka na’.

But in a statement given to ABS-CBN News on Monday, Gretchen strong denied the claims of Claudine, saying there is no truth to her claims that she insulted her and her children in the presence of their father.

“How do I debate with one who is clearly hallucinating and is under the influence of drugs and is suffering from severe mental illness? I am not one who would utter words such as ‘baboy,’ ‘lechon,’ ‘laos’ at ‘magpakamatay ka na.’ I never spoke ill or cursed Sabina nor Santino,” Gretchen said.

Gretchen and Marjorie, along with other members of Barretto’s family including JJ, brought up Claudine’s alleged mental illness and drug abuse in court documents late last year, it was used by them when they made testimony in support of Santiago in his ongoing legal battle with his wife.
