Dealing with the spotlight is part of the job, but for Derek Ramsay, the recent "storm" of public opinion has been particularly loud. Following his highly publicized breakup with estranged wife Ellen Adarna, the actor found himself at the center of cheating allegations and personal attacks.

In a recent interview based on an ABS-CBN Entertainment report, Ramsay admitted that while he is a veteran in the industry, the intensity of the bashing late last year was significant. However, he has developed a thick skin over the years, viewing the digital vitriol as something that shouldn't dictate his worth.

“So all that noise is just noise. In one ear and out the other. Sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me. Is it painful? Is it hard? Yeah, I guess. But at the end of the day, before I go to bed, I tell myself: this is just all noise,” Ramsay shared.

For the actor, the secret to surviving the internet’s harshest critics is realizing that most of the people commenting don't actually know him. He explained that what he believes about himself is far more important than the opinions of strangers. Interestingly, this hasn't made him shy away from social media. Ramsay remains active on Instagram, occasionally replying to fans—and even critics—if they approach him with respect.

“Actually, if it’s constructive, even though it’s negative ha, if it’s constructed in a diplomatic and polite manner, for me, I answer,” he explained. He noted that if a person expresses an opinion politely, he is willing to consider it, even if he ultimately disagrees and moves on. As for those who seem bent on spreading hate, he simply chooses to wish them well, believing their negativity stems from their own life struggles.

Derek Ramsay and Ellen Adarna’s whirlwind romance began in early 2021, leading to a beautiful wedding in Bataan in November of that same year. They welcomed their daughter, Liana, in October 2024. However, by late 2025, rumors of a split began to circulate when Ellen dropped "Ramsay" from her social media profiles. The breakup turned controversial when allegations of infidelity and "receipts" were shared online, making it one of the most talked-about celebrity separations of the year.

The ripples of the Derek-Ellen split continue to affect those around them, with friends and family occasionally being asked for updates.

As one of Ellen’s closest friends, Beauty Gonzalez was recently asked about how the actress is coping with the changes in her life. Beauty shared that she respects the privacy of both parties but noted that everyone is trying their best to move forward for the sake of the children. She emphasized the importance of self-reflection and healing during such a difficult transition for the family.

In a separate emotional revelation, Derek Ramsay admitted that the separation hit him hard and that he reached a "rock bottom" point during the initial months. He credited his parents and his faith for helping him regain his focus and finding peace amidst the chaos. The actor expressed that while the experience was painful, he is now prioritizing his health and his role as a father.
