RAYMART ADMITS! Ellen Adarna Clarifies Everything, Vice Ganda Has Been Hungry for a Long Time with Heart Evangelista?
In the world of showbiz filled with drama, gossip, and secrets, an old wound that many thought was buried has reopened. Raymart Santiago, the ex-husband of Claudine Barretto who has been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up. And what he said was like a bomb that exploded in the middle of the industry.
According to the exclusive interview, the breakup between him and Claudine was not a simple one. There are things that were not revealed to the public. But what is more exciting and surprising is the connection between it and Ellen Adarna and the controversial friendship between Vice Ganda and Heart Evangelista.
“I’ve been wanting to say this for a long time to stop the misconceptions,” Raymart said in an intimate conversation. “I’m not the only one who was hurt. There are many others.”
Ellen Adarna, known for her fearless confessions, provided her own clarification. “Yes, something happened back then. But it wasn’t what you think. Raymart and I talked back then because we were both at a point where we needed to be honest with ourselves. There was no third party between the two of us back then. But there was someone else involved in the deeper story.”
And this is where Vice Ganda comes in.
According to sources close to them, Vice Ganda has long had a “hidden resentment” towards Heart Evangelista. They say this is not just gossip. There are concrete events that took place behind the cameras, at closed-door parties, and at productions where they work together.
A source who did not want to be identified said: “Vice is very protective of Anne Curtis and her circle. Back when Heart was closer to the other group, Heart said things that Vice misinterpreted as an attempt to “take” the spotlight. Especially during the times when Heart came back strong from Europe and immediately landed big projects.”
The source added that there was an incident at a big awards night where Vice allegedly said to a mutual friend: “He’s so good at pretending to be cute, but we know who he really is.” These words reached Heart and from then on, there was a cold tension that never went away.
Raymart herself did not directly mention Vice, but when asked about the connections between the controversies, she smiled and said: “Sometimes, people who are loud in front have something hidden behind them. Ellen is the one who speaks boldly. I, on the other hand, chose to remain silent. But now, hiding is enough.”
Ellen Adarna, in her clarification, was more direct: “Vice and Heart? That has a history that you don’t know. I won’t tell you everything here but the important thing is, don’t judge people based on what you see on social media. We all have a story. I, too, made mistakes. But I learned. Raymart too. I hope they learn too.”
The story is not just about personal grudges. It is said to have to do with projects, endorsements, and power dynamics within GMA and ABS-CBN at the time. Back when Heart was more active on the international scene, there were times when she was said to have “snatched” some opportunities that other artists with more “local” appeal were hoping for — including Vice’s circle.
A former staff member of a major variety show revealed: “There are times when Heart has a guest appearance, Vice’s mood suddenly changes backstage. He’s not very friendly. Then when he’s performing, it’s like there’s a cold war in the air.”
Raymart, on the other hand, added his perspective on parenting and how such gossip affects children. “Claudia and the twins, they are growing up. I don’t want them to be confused by stories that are not true. So it’s better for me to let it out.”
While Ellen continued to say: “I am single again and happy. I have no anger. But if something is wrong, I will say it. And now, it is time to pretend. If Vice has anger towards Heart, let him admit it too. We are both human beings who make mistakes.”
These statements quickly spread on social media. Thousands of netizens reacted. Some said, “Finally, the truth has come out!” Others said, “It’s just gossip, don’t believe it.” But what cannot be denied is the sudden increase in engagement on posts about Raymart, Ellen, Vice, and Heart.
What is the real root of Vice’s anger towards Heart? Is it about a man? A project that didn’t work out? Or is it deeper — about their different personalities and how they maintain their image in front of the public?
Heart Evangelista is currently silent. There has been no statement from her as of this writing. Vice Ganda is also busy with his shows and has not yet reacted. But people close to them say that “there is talk” behind the cameras.
The question many are asking now: Will there ever be a chance for all of them to talk face to face? Or will this remain part of the never-ending showbiz carousel where the truth always comes at a price?
Raymart Santiago has spoken. Ellen Adarna has clarified. Now, the ball is in Vice Ganda and Heart Evangelista’s court.
Who will speak next? And how many secrets are they willing to reveal?
