Plot
Mamarazzi is the story of a mother who constantly pries into the lives of her three children, often resulting in riotous and hilarious situations.
Fifteen years ago, Violy Langit (Eugene Domingo), an owner of a small funeral parlor, learns that she is suffering from a medical condition that requires her to undergo a hysterectomy. All her life, she's wanted to have children; she realizes that she has to do it before the procedure. But Violy has no man in her life — no husband, no boyfriend, no suitors. She seeks the help of her best friend, Mandy (John Lapus). Out of pity and love for Violy, Mandy offers his boyfriend Carlo (Diether Ocampo) to serve as a sperm donor.
With Mandy's blessing, Violy and Carlo share a night filled with romance, passion, and mystery — for after that night, Carlo disappears completely from the lives of Violy and Mandy. But later revealed that he tried to steal Violy's money.
Violy gets her wish. She is blessed with a set of triplets — two girls, Peachy and Strawberry (Andi Eigenmann in a dual role), and one boy, Dingdong (AJ Perez) — which she raises as a single mother.
As the children gets older, Violy, with all her might, does all ways and means to have happy kids even to the extent of helping her son get the girl that he wants: Mimi (Carla Abellana). Being an extremely controlling and overly nosy mother makes her kids wonder about their mom's intentions. Little do her children know that all she's doing is to make her family happy. Adding to the children's frustration is getting her mom to reveal the real identity of their father (revealed to be a bartender she knew during her drunken stupor). While at the aftermath, the money he got from Violy after he failed to steal, was used as his fund to be employed in Dubai as a cafe employee, where he met an Arab woman (played by Eugene Domingo), they had a relationship until marrying her, to his surprise, looks like Violet. They had married until she died from heart attack during their honeymoon, which entitled him on her inheritance.
As tensions run high and emotions soar, their story explodes in a flurry of shocking, funny, and quirky revelations that forever change everyone's life.
