Umalma si Raymond Gutierrez sa naging pahayag ni Sarah Lahbati tungkol sa kakambal niyang si Richard Gutierrez kaugnay ng pagbibigay nito ng pinansiyal na suporta sa kanilang mga anak.
Si Sarah ay estranged wife ni Richard.
Sa YouTube vlog ni Kylie Verzosa noong February 4, 2026, nakapanayam niya si Sarah.
Dito ay ibinahagi ng aktres ang mga kinakaharap niya umanong pagsubok sa pagiging single mother matapos nilang maghiwalay ni Richard.

Ayon kay Sarah, hindi madali para sa kanya bilang isang single mom ang pagtataguyod sa dalawa nilang anak ni Richard na sina Zion, 12, at Kai, 7.
Pahayag niya: "First and foremost, it's not easy being a single mom, number one.
"And then you have to provide for them by yourself. It is doable, but it's not easy.
"I've always had a mindset of, 'Look, I'm not gonna lay around at home and do nothing.'
"I've always had a work-hard mindset, respect people... and so I'm able to do it.
"It's all about my mentality.
"But were there days that I broke down and was questioning everything and anything?
"Definitely, because as I've said earlier, our jobs, it comes and goes just like money... This industry is the most unstable industry, ever.
"So keeping that in mind, I just keep on doing me, minding my own business, and just continuing what I do.
"Which is work hard and stay in my own lane for my boys and I."

Sundot na tanong sa kanya ni Kylie: "Was there ever a time you felt, like, asking for help. Like, asking for help to provide for the kids?"
Mabilis at matapang na sagot ni Sarah, "Great question. No!"
Depensa ni Sarah, hindi niya ugaling humingi ng tulong kapag may problema, lalo na sa usaping pinansiyal at suporta sa kanyang mga anak.

Saad niya: "I will be honest and say that I struggle asking for help.
"But in this specific scenario and question of yours, you asked if I wanted to ask for help? No, I don't feel the need to.
"I can do it so I don't see why I should or ask...period."
Tinanong din si Sarah kung napag-usapan ba nila ni Richard ang tungkol sa pagbibigay ng suporta sa dalawa nilang anak.
Sabi ng StarStruck alumna: "I don't think there was even any discussion in terms of that stuff.
"But it's my decision that I'm okay with not getting help."
Diin pa niya: "I'm never gonna beg. I'm never gonna ask.
"It should be an automatic thing, actually. That's it.
"And if it's not, then why am I going to beg or ask if I can do it myself?"

Raymond addresses Sarah’s remarks about FINANCIAL SUPPORT
Ang pahayag na ito ni Sarah ay mabilis na pinag-usapan online.
May mga humanga sa aktres dahil sa pagiging matatag umano nitong harapin ang bawat pagsubok na mag-isa at palakihin nang maayos ang kanyang mga anak, na wala umanong hinihinging suporta sa estranged husband niyang si Richard, na ngayo'y may bago nang karelasyon sa katauhan ni Barbie Imperial.

Dala ng paghanga, isang netizen ang nag-repost ng video clip ng interview ni Sarah at in-upload ito sa Tiktok.
Caption ng netizen dito (published as is), "AN INTERVIEW WORTH WATCHING FROM SARAH LAHBATI AND KYLIE VERSOZA."
@syrile_2022 AN INTERVIEW WORTH WATCHING FROM SARAH LAHBATI AND KYLIE VERSOZA????#sarahlahbati #kylieversoza #fypspotted #fypp #fyptrending ? original sound - ???????????????????????????????????????????????
Ang nasabing video clip ay nakarating sa kakambal ni Richard na si Raymond Gutierrez, at nagkomento siya rito.
Dito, nilinaw ni Raymond na bagamat hiwalay na sina Richard at Sarah ay ginagawa pa rin daw ng kanyang kakambal ang responsibilidad nito kina Zion at Kai.
Kahit hindi raw magsabi si Sarah ay bukal sa loob na nagbibigay si Richard ng mga pangangailangan ng dalawa nilang anak.
Dagdag pa rito, maayos daw ang relasyon ni Richard sa kanyang mga anak dahil madalas niya itong nakakasama.
Giit ni Raymond, hindi niya maatim na panoorin na lang ang interbyu ni Sarah nang hindi nagsasalita sa kung ano ang kanyang nalalaman.
Lumalabas daw kasing hindi nagbibigay ng suporta si Richard sa kanyang mga anak, kaya minarapat niyang magkomento sa viral video clip.

Mababasang komento ni Richard (published as is): "My brother provides for his kids. Period. School, hobbies, travel, clothing, staff and everything else they need.
"The kids split their time equally between both parents. I can’t sit here and watch this and not state facts.
"I wish this was clarified during this interview."
Habang isinusulat ang artikulong ito ay wala pang reaksiyon si Sarah sa komento ni Raymond.
Maging si Richard ay wala pa ring inilalabas na pahayag patungkol sa mga naging pahayag ni Sarah.
