Actress and celebrity mom Ellen Adarna candidly opened up about the body-shaming she experienced after giving birth, recalling the hurtful remarks she received about her appearance during a guest appearance on Alex Gonzaga’s latest YouTube vlog.
The episode featured a cooking session with Alex, Ellen, and actress Arci Muñoz, where their lighthearted conversation eventually shifted to the realities of motherhood and post-pregnancy body changes.
Addressing Alex’s husband, Mikee Morada, Ellen jokingly offered a reminder ahead of the couple’s first child.
“Hoy, Mikee, ha. ‘Pag nanganak na si Alex, ‘wag mong sabihang losyang na siya ha. Ako napagsabihan na akong losyang.”
Alex appeared surprised by Ellen’s revelation and immediately asked what could have prompted someone to call her that.
“Ba’t ka naman nasabihan na losyang, ano bang itsura mo?” Alex asked.
Arci then weighed in, saying that some people intentionally put others down.
“Gano’n ang mga narcissist, ida-down ka nila.”
Ellen went on to recall the hurtful comments she received after becoming a mother.
“Losyang na raw ako, ‘wala na raw papatol sa akin kasi ang lawlaw na raw ng ano ko, tapos losyang na raw.”
While Ellen did not identify the person who made the remarks, some netizens speculated online about who she was referring to. However, Ellen herself did not name anyone, and there has been no confirmation that the comments came from any particular individual.
Despite the painful experience, Ellen shared that she has found happiness in motherhood and is content raising her two children.
She is the mother of Elias, whom she shares with actor John Lloyd Cruz, and Lili, her daughter with estranged husband Derek Ramsay.
