Sa pamamagitan ng kanyang Instagram account, humingi ng tawad si Gretchen Barretto sa pamangkin niyang si Claudia pagkatapos nitong tawagin na "very ungrateful child" at tila nagkaroon ng amnesia. This so-called rift between the two started when Claudia referred to her aunt as "someone else."

Ayon sa post ng aktres, hindi daw niya ma-enjoy ang kanyang bakasyon sa Hong Kong dahil sa nangyayari sa kanilang pamilya.
Aniya, "I'm currently in Hong Kong for the weekend. I was hoping to enjoy but no matter what I do, I realize that I am hurting & in the process, I have deeply hurt the ones I love dearly. My daughter, Dominique gave me a call yesterday to please reach out to Claui & understand her & forgive her. Claui is considered Dominique's little sister & I consider Claui my very own child. I am learning the very painful way that as a mother, we must be selfless, we must forgo hurt, disappointment, we must be more understanding & patient. We must ignore the pain that our children make us feel, we must embrace them through their flaws & love them UNCONDITIONALLY."
Ayaw daw niyang ma-bash ang kanyang pamangkin, na anak ng kanyang kapatid na si Marjorie kay Dennis Padilla.
"I do not want my Claui to be bashed in any way. I beg for understanding & forgiveness, [so] please allow us all to Heal peacefully. I ask for forgiveness from my Instagram followers for spreading hurt & bitterness on my post. I ask for forgiveness from Claui for making her go through this hurt."
The younger Barretto then wrote a reply to Gretchen's post, saying that she never meant to offend her and that her answer was taken out of context.
