“Purely fictional, conjectural and speculative.”
This is how actress Vina Morales’ lawyer, Ariel Radovan, speaking in her behalf, described reports that businessman Cedric Lee inflicted physical violence on her.
“For the record, contrary to what has been aired or written, our Firm maintains and so holds that the news tidbits with reference to the infliction of the physical violence at any given time to her person by Mr. Lee is purely fictional, conjectural and speculative,” the press statement read.
‘Give her peace’
Radovan asked the public to respect this privacy.
"The Navarro-Lee affair is beyond Miss Morales. Let us endeavor to give her peace."
He also appealed to everyone to spare Vina and her daughter from "negative, undue and unjust publicity," as they are not involved in the issue between Vhong and Cedric.
Vhong and Cedric are facing a legal battle after the actor-host accused the latter and several men of attacking and threatening him in a condominium unit on January 22.
Vhong, on the other hand, was accused of raping 22-year-old student Deniece Cornejo. Vhong has denied the charges.
Police security
A report on TV Patrol on Tuesday, February 4, said that Cedric requested for police security. But the security was terminated in 2012 after Vina accused Cedric of physical abuse.
In an interview with PEP last year, Vina said she's a 'member' of the 9262 Club, composed of actresses who filed charges on the violation of R.A. 9262, or Violence Against Women and their Children Act against their husbands or partners. She later changed her statement and said that she's not part of the group.
Vina posted intriguing quotes on her Instagram when news about Cedric and Vhong broke out.
