SHARON Cuneta and Kiko Pangilinan appeared to have settled their issue with Cristy Fermin as the couple reportedly withdrew the cyber libel case they had filed against the showbiz columnist, as per showbiz insider Ogie Diaz.
It can be recalled that Cuneta and Pangilinan lodged a cyber libel complaint against Fermin in May 2024. Cuneta cited in the lawsuit the latter’s “libelous and slanderous statements,” although the couple did not immediately state the specific statements they were referring to.
In a photo shared by Diaz on Tuesday, July 8, Cuneta, Pangilinan and Fermin were seen all smiles while the showbiz columnist was in the middle of the couple.
“Nakakatuwa. Okay na sila ngayon,” Diaz said in the caption. “Matapos humingi ng public apology si Ate Cristy Fermin sa kanyang YouTube channel, heto’t nagkita na sila sa korte kanina (July 08, 2025) para iurong ang kaso.”
(It’s good to know that they are now okay. After Ate Cristy Fermin made a public apology via her YouTube channel, they already met in court earlier today to drop the case.)
Diaz was apparently referring to Fermin’s statement through her online show “Showbiz Now Na!” last June 28, in which she admitted to and apologized for having said hurtful words against Cuneta.
Fermin also stressed during the vlog that she is not perfect, and that she is always ready to offer an olive branch to those whom she hurt.
“Ang pagpapakumbaba po ay hindi ibig sabihin duwag tayo… Ako, aminado ako na nasaktan si Sharon sa mga binitiwan ko dito,” she said.
“Pareho naming hindi gustong masira ang isang relasyon na matagal naming pinaghirapan. Ngayon, pwede kong sabihin — humihingi ako ng paumanhin kung nasaktan kita sa mga sinabi ko,” she continued, addressing the Megastar.
(Being humble is not a cowardly act. I admit I offended Sharon with the previous statements I said here. But we both do not want to destroy the relationship we built for years. Now, I can say — I apologize if I hurt you with what I said.)
Cuneta, Pangilinan and Fermin have yet to comment on their reported reconciliation as of this writing. (inquirer.net)
