'I'm Not Mother Teresa': Ellen Adarna Goes Off on Derek Ramsay Over Child Support, Says He'd Rather Buy Cars Than Provide for Their Daughter
Ellen Adarna is NOT holding back. The outspoken actress has escalated her public feud with estranged husband Derek Ramsay, calling out his alleged failure to provide adequate financial support for their daughter Lili since they separated last year. When a follower asked if she'd consider forgiving Derek for their family's sake, Ellen's response was ice cold.
"Forgiveness is only for the people who deserve it and who asked for it and really changed. But I'm not Mother Teresa, 'day. I'm not there yet," she said on Instagram Stories. The Cebuana actress had previously shut down showbiz journalist Cristy Fermin for calling Derek a "good provider," calling the label "misleading and unfair" given their actual situation.
According to Ellen, Derek hasn't provided monetary support for Lili since their split. She revealed that he allegedly offered only a credit card with a ₱50,000 limit — which she says is nowhere near enough for their daughter's needs. She also disputed claims about the arrangement, saying Derek's assistant was involved in the negotiations.
What really got Ellen fired up was the apparent disconnect between Derek's spending habits and his contributions as a father. "Grabe maka-flex, bili ng cars and all that, so you know, you see where his priorities are," she said with a laugh that was anything but amused. The comparison between new vehicle purchases and child support payments hit hard.
The Ellen-Derek saga has become one of the most talked-about showbiz stories of 2026, with fans divided on both sides. But Ellen's raw, unfiltered approach to airing grievances is resonating with many Filipinas who've been in similar situations. Whether this plays out in court or on social media remains to be seen — but one thing's clear: Ellen Adarna fights for her kids, and she doesn't care who knows it.
