Former actress-model Ellen Adarna said that her husband Derek Ramsay has remained unapologetic after allegedly cheating on her, and blames an ex-girlfriend for practicing witchcraft on him.

“He blames everything, everyone but himself. He was able to convince his friends and people that it’s my postpartum,” Ellen told followers via updates on her Instagram Stories.

“He’s convinced that an ex-girlfriend made him kulam. Like, all of a sudden there was this bowl of salt with garlic in it. And me and my friends and helpers before were like, ‘Ano ‘to, like, bakit may ganyan?’ … And then sinabi nung isang katulong, ‘Ay pinalagay diyan kasi daw baka may nangkulam.’ So parang pang anti-kulam,” she added, laughing.

She showed fans the bowl with salt and garlic, asking whoever knew about white or black magic to explain how these would work against hexes.

A user explained that, in modern witchcraft, garlic is used as a “protective and banishing herb” to ward off evil, while salt represents purity and divine protection.

In earlier Story posts, Ellen said that although she and her children were still living in Derek’s house, they will be moving out as soon as renovations have been finished in her own home and that Derek wasn’t there with her.

“Pina-barangay ko siya dai, twice. Yeah, not once but twice. But we had an agreement that—this was like, months ago, three months ago—he won’t come back until I move into my new place. Tutal I’m gonna be gone forever, so. Just leave me until my place is done,” she answered a fan’s question.

Ellen did not confront Derek about his alleged infidelity, she said, believing that posting screenshots or “receipts” of his unfaithfulness on social media was enough to have him know she had found out.

“No I did not confront him about this, he just found out here. I’m sure if you saw this, he found out here. Never talked to him about it. I think the screenshots are enough. And if he still lies about it, oh my God. Ginaslight na nga ako, don’t tell me he’s gonna gaslight the whole world. The screenshots are there, the receipts are there, please,” she said.

A user also asked about why Derek missed their daughter’s first birthday. Ellen responded that he had gone golfing or played frisbee on that day.

“He was sent an invite, okay? He chose not to go. He was playing frisbee or golf somewhere. Yeah, so important, right? So there. He was sent an invite, and just two of his family went: his sister and his nephew. That’s it. He had a choice, we all have a choice. No one put a gun in his head and told him not to go,” she said.

In response to someone asking whether she cried upon finding out about Derek’s infidelity, she replied that she did not. Rather, she felt her long-standing concern had been validated.

“To be honest, dai, no, because during the relationship, the beginning, I was made to believe that this sidechick was just a friend, and that what I felt was not real—that I was just acting jealous or crazy. So when I found out about it three weeks ago, I felt validated like, ‘Oh my God, justice. Oh my God, it’s real. Oh my God I was right all along,’ Imagine, all these years, I felt like… parang I was gaslighted. So yeah. I was right, my intuition was right. And you know what, the truth, no matter what, comes out in so many ways,” Ellen said.

She divulged that this “sidechick” has been “friends” with Derek for a long time now, and that she suspected this girl was also the third party in Derek’s previous relationship.

“According to my reliable sources, mga ex, that sidechick has always been there. Like decades na, naka-ilang girlfriends na si Derek, nandiyan siya. ‘Friends’ daw, ‘friends.’ Ako pa ‘yung bliname ng mga netizens noong last real girlfriend ni Derek na ako daw ‘yung third party. But no it’s not me, it would be her because hello, matagal na silang friends, right, and mayroon parang something, sidechick niya pala ‘to, dati pa,” she told netizens.

Meanwhile, Derek has staunchly denied that he cheated on his wife. He disclosed that they have been separated for six months now, and Ellen found out about the “sidechick” three weeks ago, which the latter also told her followers.
