Twitter proved to be most helpful for Raymond Gutierrez recently.

Through the popular networking site, Raymond was able to defend his brother Richard from reports that seemingly painted the “Zorro” star as a hothead.

According to articles that came out in several entertainment news websites, Richard along with his rumored girlfriend Jewel Mische allegedly got involved in an altercation with some of the personnel of Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA ) for being refused to board their flight on Oct. 3.

The report said that Richard Gutierrez got so enraged that he reportedly badmouthed an airline manager. He also spat on his boarding pass before slamming it to a wall—this, in full view of other passengers.

Tweeting about the article, Gutierrez said, “Wow. It seems like (names one of the entertainment websites) is really out to get my bro.”

He went on to offer his brother’s whereabouts when the incident supposedly happened. “No airport incident happened---he's been in the country & was even in Mel & Joey (a GMA 7 show) live last night (Sunday),” he tweeted.

He admitted via Tweet that he actually asked his brother about the report. “Like me, he is saddened & shocked. Another day, another lie. What can we do...?”

Raymond belittled the abilities of the writers from one of the websites, calling them “Future Scriptwriters.” Or at least “half of them,” he tweeted.

To further bolster his claim regarding his brother’s location at the time of the alleged incident, Raymond went on to breakdown his twin’s schedule over the weekend.

“Fri (Friday) - he was in GMA with the people from GMA films; Sat (Saturday) - he worked out in his condo & had a meeting; Sun (Sunday) - he was on Mel &Joey.”

According to an article in the website that Raymond pertains, they have videos and pictures of the alleged incident and that the information they gathered came from “reliable sources” including passengers and airport staff.
