This is the probable reason why Gretchen Barretto is not in good terms with her father Mike Barretto and it was recalled when the latter was hospitalized.
Actress and socialite Gretchen Barretto’s issue with her father Mike Barretto was once again recalled when the latter was hospitalized just recently.
The patriarch of the Barretto clan was confined in hospital as Claudine revealed it on her recent Instagram post.
It was mentioned in a previous article that there were netizens who called out to Gretchen to reach out to her father.
Netizens said that since she is giving help to others’ medical needs, then she should give attention also to his ailing father.
On the other hand, the idea of visiting her father in hospital does not sound good to her. Gretchen slammed the netizens who advised her to pay him a visit.
Why Gretchen won’t see her father? When and how the conflict between them started?
Reportedly, the Barretto family feud blasted before the eyes of the public when Gretchen testified against Claudine during the latter’s fight in court against Raymart Santiago when they got separated.
La Greta even claimed that her father threatened to kill her because of that, according to a report.
In an interview, Mike stated that Gretchen has a habit of creating lies just to create conflicts among their other family members.
Though he did not mention the name of La Greta but it was clear that he was referring to her when he said that a person is aiming to see Claudine down.
On the other hand, it seems that this conflict had been rooted back in Gretchen’s childhood years.
She stated in an interview that she did not feel the love from her parents when she was growing up.
“I don’t know how to feel anymore when you say nanay, tatay. Hindi ko alam ‘yun. Hindi ko alam yung pakiramdam na kung masakit ang tiyan mo or ulo mo, or may problema ka, meron kang matatakbuhang nanay na yayakap sa ‘yo, na ‘It’s okay, I’m here for you.'” Gretchen Barretto said.
La Greta entered showbiz at a young age of 12. According to an article, she did that to help her family financially but another article said that was her way to escape the kind of life she had with her parents.
