Richard Gutierrez on family's rift with Heart Evangelista

WHAT CAN Richard Gutierrez say about Heart Evangelista’s alleged snubbing of his brother Raymond in ‘Party Pilipinas’ and ‘Showbiz Central”? “I’m busy shooting ‘My Valentine Girls’ everyday so I didn’t know such thing happened,” says Richard who definitely helped revived Heart’s career when she was paired with him in “Asero”. “Nang may magkuwento sa’kin, I called up Raymond and he confirmed it.

We feel sad kasi what we gave her is true friendship ng buong family namin. We really helped her and supported her sa paglipat niya sa GMA hanggang nakabawi siya sa career niya. Mon was the one who urged my mom to get Heart para mabigyan ng project sa GMA kaya he’s the one who really got hurt with what they did to our mom. (Heart dropped Annabelle as manager.) Ayan, lumaki na ang issue. My mom was hurt, Raymond got hurt, too. Maraming nadadamy so ayokong makipagplastikan sa kanya when I see her. I’m not comfortable with what she did to my mom and brother. But I’m hoping this issue will all be resolved soon. We’re starting a new year so sana maayos na.”
