Ellen Adarna gives stern warning in IG story: "I've got receipts"

The exchange began when Adarna posted a screenshot of a quote from an unidentified source, which was clearly aimed at the pervasive culture of digital rumor-mongering.

The original post, written in Tagalog, read: “Ano na mga pambansang marites? Anong pinaglalaban nyo sa smear campaigns nyo? I have more, but will release it at the right time at the proper forum.”

This post challenged all the "pambansang marites" to explain their motives behind what the author termed "smear campaigns," further promising to release definitive evidence at a formal public platform, often implying legal action.

However, Ellen’s reply did not target the gossips themselves, but rather the person who posted the accusatory statement, suggesting they were being disingenuous.

In a sharp sentence written in Cebuano/Bisaya, Adarna delivered her viral takedown: “Ayaw palabi ug ka dyosnon sa emung mga post, kay basin emung account ray malangit.”

The phrase translates to: “Don’t overdo your posts with so much holiness/piety, because your account might be the only one that goes to heaven.”

This sarcastic and powerful rebuke immediately disarmed the self-righteous tone of the original quote.

Ellen Adarna drops cryptic "#manchild" post, sparks buzz over its intended target

By suggesting that only the digital account—the curated online persona—is worthy of moral praise, the actress implies that the individual behind the screen is operating with profound hypocrisy.

Her reaction signals that she is not intimidated by threats of a "proper forum" and will not tolerate any attempt to mask ill intent behind a façade of virtue.

Ellen’s response is fully consistent with her public image. The actress has a well-documented history of directly confronting her critics and shutting down misinformation, often using Bisaya or highly conversational language to convey raw emotion.

She has repeatedly dealt with separation rumors involving her husband, which gained traction after she temporarily removed his surname from her profile.

Both she and her husband have publicly denied the claims, with the latter previously issuing a strong statement against those spreading lies about his family.

By choosing to meet the "smear campaign" drama with such unfiltered defiance, Ellen is once again sending a clear message: she refuses to engage in the polite silence often expected of public figures.

Instead, she utilizes her platform to challenge hypocrisy directly, ensuring that in the highly-filtered world of celebrity gossip, her voice remains authentically and powerfully her own.
