MANILA— Ellen Adarna denied claims that her estranged husband Derek Ramsay willingly provides financial support for their infant daughter, Liana.

Adarna took to Instagram stories to call out showbiz journalist Cristy Fermin, describing her statements as “misleading and unfair” before sharing her own perspective.

She said she had previously told Ramsay’s assistant that any financial support for Liana would come at the expense of quality time with the child.

“I am not demanding anything beyond what is fair — but I will not allow a father to live comfortably just cooling his balls while having little to no contribution to his child — because he gets to see her almost every day,” Adarna said.

According to Adarna, Ramsay provided her with a credit card earlier this month with a P50,000 limit, which she said only covered slightly more than half of Liana’s expenses. She also clarified that neither Ramsay nor his mother ever paid for her household staff since their 2021 marriage, including five nannies, two of whom care for Liana. Ramsay and his mother only covered one of Liana’s nannies, while Adarna paid for her groceries and household needs.

“Let’s not rewrite history… let’s stop being delusional and stop branding someone as a ‘good provider’ when the numbers and reality say otherwise,” she said. “A real provider doesn’t wait to be called out. He gives willingly. He takes initiative. He doesn’t rely on words, flexing, or public image.”

Adarna also addressed questions from fans via Instagram, including comparisons to her former partner John Lloyd Cruz
