Dennis Padilla Commented on His Daughter Julia Barretto’s Post After Previously Stating That He Felt Like a Visitor at Claudia’s Wedding Despite Being Her Father: “Kapal nyo.”
The Barretto family drama continues to unfold in the public eye, with actor-comedian Dennis Padilla once again making headlines — this time for a blunt comment on daughter Julia Barretto’s social media post.
Just weeks after emotionally revealing that he felt like a mere visitor at his daughter Claudia’s recent wedding, Dennis stirred up the online space by commenting “Kapal nyo” (“How thick-faced you are”) on one of Julia’s Instagram uploads. The terse and striking remark sparked a flurry of reactions from netizens, with many speculating that it was aimed at unresolved tensions between the actor and his children.
Dennis had previously opened up in an interview, sharing his hurt over being left out of key moments at Claudia’s big day. “I was there physically, but I felt like I wasn’t part of it,” he said. “I’m her father, but I felt like a guest.”
Now, with this latest comment on Julia’s post — which many say was posted in a tone of normalcy or celebration — followers can’t help but wonder if the family rift is widening.
Some netizens sympathized with Dennis, calling his pain “understandable” and “heartbreaking,” while others criticized the public airing of family matters. “This should be discussed privately, not in the comments section,” one follower noted.
Julia Barretto has yet to respond publicly to her father’s remark.
Despite the controversy, many are still hoping for healing and reconciliation within the Barretto family. But as it stands, the wounds — both old and new — seem far from healed.
