Actress Marjorie Barretto denied rumors / reports that Mama Lina (mother of Dennis Padilla) was disrespected during the wedding of her daughter Claudia Barretto to Basti Lorenzo.

In an interview with Ogie Diaz, Marjorie clarified that Mama Lina was seated properly and Dennis and his brother Gene Padilla was seated somewhere else of their choice.

“Grabe yung sinabi nila. Inapi yung nanay, hindi pinaupo yung nanay, eh she was seated separately from Dennis and Gene because Dennis and Gene had their own world,” said Marjorie.

“My Mama Lina, according to the coordinator I asked kanina, na she was seated properly. Sabi niyo ay iyak ng iyak, nainsulto, awang-awa sa inyo, she didn’t cry at all… you wouldn’t know because you did not even sit beside your mother,” Marjorie added.

Marjorie even recalled the time when she assisted her Mama Lina going down the stairs after taking photos with the newly weds:

Nakikita kong pababa eh, ako yung nasa front row, bumababa si Dennis, inaakay niya si mama kasi nahihirapan si mama maglakad, si Dennis nasa kanan and I took her by the left. I met her halfway dun sa stairs sa altar and I walked with mama para magbigay ng respeto,” recounted Marjorie.

“She was so happy to see me, hindi mugto ang mata ng mother-in-law ko. She was kissing me, I was kissing her, and I was hugging her, she was hugging me. ‘Marjorie! Ang ganda ganda mo pa rin, na-miss na kita!’” she said.

“So ano yung sinasabi niyo na inaapi yung yung nanay ninyo? Di ko maano eh, may picture ako, Ogie.” Marjorie asked.
