Gretchen Barretto did it again!

 

After her controversial Entertainment Live walkout two years ago, the singer-actress, again, hastily left the press conference venue of her recent endorsement, Glutamax, after reporters bombarded her with questions about her supposed gap with younger sister Claudine Barretto.

"Ayoko na!"

Ito ang nasambit ni Gretchen Barretto bago nito dagliang iniwan ang kanyang press conference na naganap kanina, ika-7 ng Abril, sa Eastwood City.

Ang singer-actress ang bagong endorser ng Glutamax. Sa simula, maganda ang mood niya at mabilis nitong sinasagot ang mga tanong ng press at media people.

Nalaman niya raw kanina lang ang posibleng pagkakatapat ang kanyang episode sa Maalaala Mo Kaya at ang drama anthology ng kanyang nakababatang kapatid sa GMA-7. Nang usisain siya kung sinadya ba ito, umiling ito at sinabing hindi. Ang kanyang talent manager na si Boy Abunda raw ang nakakaalam ng mga detalye ng kanyang projects.

Dagdag pa niya, "Wala po akong intensiyon na manakit ng tao. Ako naman, alam niyo naman buhay ko 'to, ang pag-aartista, 'yon lang ang ginagawa ko."

Isang reporter ang nagsabing baka hindi magustuhan ng kanilang ina na si Inday Barretto ang sabay na pag-ere ng kanilang mga TV projects. Napangiti lang si La Greta at sinabing maganda nga ang nangyayari dahil sa dalawang malaking istasyon, parehong Barretto ang mamamayagpag kung saka-sakali.

Noong una ay  maganda pa ang pakiusap ni Gretchen, "Magkapatid kami. Hindi kami dapat pag-awayin."

Subalit noong dire-diretso pa rin ang pagtatanong tungkol sa umano'y di nila pag-uusap ni Claudine at sa nararamdaman niya, tumayo ito at biglang nilisan ang venue.

Hindi ito ang unang beses na nag-walk out si Gretchen. (CLICK HERE to read article.) Matatandaan na noong Pebrero 2008, iniwan din nito ang talk show na Entertainment Live dahil sa mga tinuran ni Nadia Montenegro, na noo'y nakaalitan niya, sa VTR.

    Isa pa 'to--GLUTATHIONE ulit.Bakit di ka proud sa kulay ng isang Filipina- morena maganda ang kulay--as if you want to promote a nation of walking espasol! Gusto mo mag mukhang foreigner, sa ibang bansa ka manirahan-- Love the Skin You're In! Wala ng character ang mukha mo, very generic.

    Siguro ayaw lang ni gretchen makapagsalita ng kung ano na makaka-affect na naman sa relasyon nilang magkapatid kaya she just chose to walk out. Maybe the press got to be too much with their questions. In any case,I've seen gretchen's and claudine's shows and I think they did justice to their roles. Kahit na sa small-screen lang bigay todo sila sa pag-act kaya great job to the Barretto sisters!

    This woman's only claim to fame and wealth is getting hitched with a rich, old, balding businessman. This Tonyboy, for all his money, sure is one stupid dude.

    gretchen, bili ka ng laughlines. yan ang nawala sa face mo. when you smile walang linya haha. para kang wax tuloy at tela na mapupunit pag tumatawa. masyadong nabanat mukha mo. ipabalik mo rin kung ano ang ipinalipat mo like sabi nila pinataas mo cheek bone mo. hindi na proportionate sa dati mong pretty face. stop going to cosmetic surgeons. oh well, bumalik ka muna to have it in its previous glory. then stop having something done on your face.

    Elevator door open.In walks Gretchen Baretto also known to her friends and family as diva and her entourage of yayas and bodyguads. Another woman enters the elevator right after Gretchen and her Bulgari Jewels,La Greta proclaimed: -Please tell this woman to get off my elevator- to which the woman retorted -Please tell this woman to get off my building-It turns out that woman is Mrs Yuchengco a member of RCBC plaza.Exit La Greta.
    This is an urban legend about Gretchen Baretto no one knows for sure kung nangyari talaga, hindi ba nasabi din ni Gretchen na we OWN the bank ng ma denied yong credit card niya?

    Gretchen does have the tendency to walk out whenever she feels threatened with uncomfortable questions or issues. I think she's not the first person to do this but she gets a lot of attention because let's face it, she's a high profile and intriguing individual that some people secretly want to be. Let's try to see the matter in Gretchen's viewpoint, she's all alone facing a group of reporters who are all hungry for information. It's understandable that she felt pressured and ultimately, I think she did the right thing which was just leaving instead of risking the chance to say something that will spark another round of ugly controversies involving her and her sister claudine.

    even her family does not like her anymore. she says she has fans but you know what, she really doesn't. from what i've heard from a close friend who works inside a tv network, she even has to pay for people to show support for her. sad but true!

    quot;Wala po akong intensiyon na manakit ng tao.quot;

    What are you talking about? you hurt people all the time just by being yourself! What sister could do something like this right? What woman in her right mind would go kiss another guy in some random party and be depressed about the fact that her partner's family does not accept her!

    just to comment in line with the other comments about gretchen's materialistic ways: i used to be very annoyed with gretchen, now i feel pity for her. i mean, obviously, she's not happy with her life. happy people don't rely on material things for happiness! tsk, tsk!

    I heard kaya sila nag away was because of how Greta was behaving on the set of a commercial that she and Dawn were in.

    I think Dawn did not like how Greta was behaving and how she was delaying the whole shoot because of he diva ways. I dont think naiingit si Dawn sa kanya - dahil kung gugustuhin ni Dawn - kaya din niya bilhin ang mga gamit ni Greta - and with her own money pa. Iba lang siguro ang priorities ni Dawn. And I cant blame her.Also-it is public record - na Tony Boy was really interested with Dawn before he met Greta. Kaya lang Dawn was with Goma then. Kaya siguro - pa-bongga to the max itong si Greta during the shoot - kasi she knows Tony Boy had his eyes on Dawn. In other words second choice lang siya. I am not a fan of Dawn but have nothing against her pero at least Dawn has had acting awards to prove her talent.

    A lot of people dislike this woman for being such a diva and materialistic.I heard she brings her own microwave yayas, and bodyguards to the shooting as well as her designer clothes like Balennciaga,Gucci,Prada etc. Kaya daw sila nag away ni Dawn Zulueta dahil puro LV's daw ang luggage ni Gretchen with designers clothing ang dinadala ni Gretchen sa shooting to show off.

    May charity organization ba itong taong ito?. I'm sure PEOPLE WILL LOVE HER kapag may alam na may nagagawa siyang kabutihan sa tao.
