Ruffa Gutierrez defends her mother


One thing that can be observed in Gutierrez family is that when one is embattled with someone, a member comes to the rescue. This time it is Ruffa Gutierrez who defends mother Annabelle Rama against Nadia Montenegro, the mother of the children allegedly abused by the talent manager.

MANILA, Philippines – TV host-actress Ruffa Gutierrez defended her mother and manager Annabelle Rama against Nadia Montenegro’s accusation that the former committed child abuse.
Speaking live on “Paparazzi Showbiz Exposed” on Oct. 2, Ruffa declared, “You can call my mom rude, bastos, maingay, but she's definitely not a child abuser."
"We will not tolerate any kind of abuse, especially me being a victim once, and now a survivor of abuse,” she added, pertaining to the alleged abuse she suffered in the hands of her estranged husband, Turkish businessman Yilmaz Bektas.
Nadia—whose daughters Anykka Asistio, 15, and Alyana Asistio, 17, are under Annabelle’s Royale Era Entertainment & Artist Management company—sued the Gutierrez matriarch for child abuse and oral defamation last Sept. 30 at the Quezon City Prosecutors Office, as reported on “Showbiz Central” on Sunday.
