Dennis Padilla draws flak for posts following daughter Claudia Barretto’s wedding

Actor Dennis Padilla has found himself in the center of online discussions following his daughter Claudia Barretto's recent wedding to Basti Lorenzo. While Padilla was present at the ceremony, his subsequent social media activity has sparked controversy and divided opinions.

Shortly after the wedding on April 8th, Padilla took to Instagram to express his feelings of being excluded. In a now-deleted handwritten note, he lamented being treated as a "visitor" rather than the "father of the bride." He further claimed he was not included in the wedding program and had not received invitations.

Padilla's online remarks quickly drew a strong reaction from social media users. Many criticized his public airing of grievances, with some labeling his behavior as "toxic" and insensitive to his daughter's special day. Commenters pointed out that he should be grateful for being invited at all, given past family tensions.

However, not all responses were critical. Some social media users expressed sympathy for Padilla, suggesting they understood his potential hurt at feeling marginalized during his daughter's wedding. These commenters acknowledged the emotional complexity of family dynamics, especially in the context of past separations.

The online discussions have also brought attention to the long-standing complexities within the Barretto family. Dennis Padilla and Marjorie Barretto, Claudia's mother, separated in 2007. The recent events serve as a public glimpse into the ongoing navigation of their familial relationships.
