Marjorie Barretto Allegedly Points Finger at Dennis Padilla After Election Loss

Former actress and politician Marjorie Barretto is reportedly emotional and dismayed after losing her recent bid for councilor. Allegations have surfaced suggesting she blamed her former husband, actor-comedian Dennis Padilla, for “tarnishing” her public image, which may have contributed to her political defeat.

Background

Marjorie served as a Caloocan City councilor from 2007 to 2013. During her tenure, she was known for her hands-on approach and active participation in community projects. Her political career was initially bolstered by her celebrity status, but her personal life—including her high-profile breakup with Dennis Padilla—has long been under public scrutiny.

“I’m the one to blame. Walang kasalanan ang nanay mo,” Dennis admitted in a 2007 interview about their separation. (Philstar)

Allegations of Blame

While no formal statement from Marjorie has confirmed these allegations, some insiders claim that during private conversations, she expressed frustration over how her name has been “constantly dragged” into controversies involving Dennis, particularly relating to their children.

Reports point to the recent public tension between Dennis and their daughter Julia Barretto as reigniting scrutiny of Marjorie’s parenting and personal life—issues that may have swayed voters.

No Official Confirmation

As of now, no official statements have been released by Marjorie confirming the allegations. Dennis, for his part, has remained quiet on the matter, focusing on his comeback in comedy and his ongoing attempts to reconnect with his children.
