Claudine Barretto has expressed her dismay at her estranged husband Raymart Santiago and his family after they had reportedly intimidated her.

"Ako rin nagugulat sa mga pahayag nila, dahil mga lalaki sila, babae ako, at ang pakiramdam ko, pinagtutulung-tulungan nila ako (I’m also surprised by what they’re saying because they’re men and I’m a woman, and I feel like they’re ganging up on me.). They're bullies," the embattled actress was quoted as saying in an article on ABS-CBNNews.com. "Ang dami nilang sinasabi (They’re saying a lot of things.). Is that really the environment I want my children to grow up in? They're really doing a very good job of destroying themselves, sa mga anak ko (They’re really doing a very good job of destroying themselves in the eyes of my children.).”

Claudine also lashed out against Raymart’s older brother, singer-host Randy Santiago, who had claimed that Raymart isn’t capable of hurting her. Interaksyon.com reports that she dared the Santiagos to reveal her alleged secrets on the condition that they also publicize their own dirty laundry.

“Kung ano man ang masasabi nila na ilalabas nilang baho ko, go ahead, I dare you! Bring it out! Bring it on (If you’re threatening to reveal bad things about me, go ahead, I dare you! Bring it out! Bring it on! )!” she challenged.
