Ellen Adarna Shares Practical Advice on Handling Toxic Relationships Amid Personal Revelations

Former actress and model Ellen Adarna recently opened up about her personal experiences with a toxic relationship and responded to a follower seeking guidance on the matter by sharing ten practical tips. The advice came amid recent headlines involving allegations against her husband, actor Derek Ramsay, whom she accused of infidelity early in their marriage and refuted claims that he never cursed at her.

Since speaking out, Ellen has received numerous messages from individuals relating to similar situations. One follower expressed gratitude for Ellen's courage in setting boundaries and confronting manipulation, stating, "But seeing you, seeing the bold things you decide for yourself. Stopping all the manipulation and taking each woman's boundaries to the next level. Thank you."

In an Instagram story where she posted a screenshot of the message (omitting the sender's name), Ellen compiled a list of practical recommendations based on her experience:

• Screenshot conversations before they can be deleted
• Record interactions as if documenting them
• Verify the actual events by reviewing information
• Recognize attempts to rewrite history and rely on evidence
• Be aware of gaslighting tactics that distort reality
• Keep all communications in writing
• Understand that manipulators often portray themselves as victims but detest documented proof
• Backup important files diligently
• Create a timeline to track inconsistencies and falsehoods
• Maintain composure during confrontations
• Secure personal devices and update passwords regularly
• Discreetly collect evidence without provoking the other party
• Gather witnesses to corroborate claims
• Engage legal counsel to protect oneself

"Collect the truth — and let them choke on it," Ellen declared in a follow-up story, adding, "See a therapist and build a strong support system. Healing is power."

Ellen and Derek marked their fourth wedding anniversary on November 11. Their union has produced a daughter named Lili, and both partners have children from previous relationships.
