ACTRESS Julia Barretto filed a cybercrime case against former broadcaster Jay Sonza at the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) on Friday.
This after Sonza posted that the actress is pregnant with actor Gerald Anderson’s child on his Facebook page last Sept. 21.
Barretto, accompanied by her mother Marjorie Barretto, personally appeared before the NBI Cybercrime Division to ask the NBI to investigate the “untrue and irresponsible statements” made by Sonza.
“I am pursuing this case because the statements made by Mr. Sonza are untrue and irresponsible. The widespread reposting of the news based on his post caused distress to me and my family. I don’t want to take this matter lightly. Mr. Sonza, and all those who publish these reckless and baseless posts, must be held accountable for their actions so that they think twice before claiming things as fact,” she said.
In an interview with ABS-CBN News, she added: “Ang dami ko na kasing pinagdaaan, ang dami ko nang pinalampas lalo na sa social media, binastos na ang reputation ko, ang pangalan ko. You know, I think I just want to show people na hindi ko na pinapalampas ‘yung mga bagay na ganito.”(ABS-CBN)
