Ellen Adarna reveals receiving no ‘sustento’ from Derek Ramsay

Reacting to Cristy Fermin’s claim that Derek Ramsay was a good provider to his daughter, Liana, by buying a house for them and paying five nannies, Ellen Adarna clarified that the actor has been remiss in his obligation since October of last year.

Adarna claims she has received “no sustento” for her daughter since they separated, which made her reach out to Derek’s assistant.

“Only after I called him out did he give a credit card — two weeks ago — with a P50,000 credit limit,” Adarna shared on Instagram, noting that it was not enough for her daughter’s needs.

“That amount covers only 55.88 percent of the actual breakdown of Liana’s expenses that I clearly presented,” she stressed.

“Since October last year, he hasn’t given. So October, November, December, January. Came January, I had it, my family was like, ‘No, don’t tolerate that sh*t. If he doesn’t give anything, no Lili, that simple so that’s when I called them out and I think they panicked, eh nothing man. So there, but two weeks ago, less than two weeks ago and the credit card arrived and ‘yun na ‘yun (and that’s it). ‘Tas grabe maka-flex, bili ng cars and all that, so obviously that’s where his priorities are,” she told one netizen who inquired how the issue came about.

With this, Adarna told Ramsay’s assistant, "no sustento, no Lili."

“So please, let’s stop being delusional and stop branding someone as a ‘good provider’ when the numbers and reality say otherwise. A real provider doesn’t wait to be called out,” she said, obviously referring to Fermin.

Influencer reveals Alvin Aragon’s romance with a trans woman

A social media influencer, Dok Mayki, revealed a long-kept secret of former starlet, Alvin Aragon — that he was once in a romance with a transgender woman.

Mayki made the controversial revelation via a recent Facebook reel.

“Nagtataka ako, galit na galit siya sa beki e dating jowa niya trans. Friend ko pa kaya nagtataka ako (I’m wondering why he is so mad at homosexuals when he used to have a relationship with a transexual — a friend of mine, so I am wondering),” she unabashedly revealed.

Aragon’s homophobic stance against the LGBTQ+ community has spawned public rage especially from celebrities who found his arias of late very condescending and vile.

Aragon is the first StarStruck showbiz wannabe who got the boot. His fledgling career took a nosedive and has gotten himself in an array of misdeeds until he found redemption.

But his deep-seated anger for the limp-wristed emanated from his lips, which spewed nothing but hatred, drawing collective ire from the public.
