In a phone interview with entertainment host Ogie Diaz, uploaded to YouTube on April 9, Padilla lamented being left out of significant moments, especially not being allowed to walk Claudia down the aisle — a role taken by Marjorie, who walked proudly beside the bride in a magenta pink gown.

The incident appears to be the breaking point for Padilla, who declared he is cutting ties with his children.

“Ayoko na. Sabi nila, ako ‘yung toxic. Talaga ba (I can’t take it anymore. They said I’m the toxic one. Really)? A father who is longing [for] love [from his] children, especially if the father is going through three-fourths of his life. Do you call that toxic?” he said, defending himself against public criticism that painted him as a “toxic” and “narcissistic” parent.

Padilla insisted that he had made efforts both publicly and privately to mend ties with Claudia and her siblings Julia and Leon.
