Model Dominic Roque filed charges against Cristy Fermin before the Pasig City Office of the Prosecutor due to the veteran columnist’s statements about him.
According to the charges, Cristy made several untruthful statements against Dominic in her online show, “Showbiz Now Na,” amid the heat of the discussion about the model’s breakup with Bea Alonzo.
It can be recalled that Cristy alleged that Dominic’s condo was owned by a male politician who was close to the model.
“Hindi ako hihingi sa iyo ng patawad. Ni paumanhin ipagdadamot ko dahil kahit minsan,
hindi ko sinabi na si Dominic Roque ay nakatira sa isang condo unit na pag-aari ng isang baklang politiko,” said Cristy.
She even reminded Cristy that Dominic was a “public figure” and should stop being sensitive.
“Ngayon, Dominic Roque, napakaselan mo, napaka-sensitibo mo. Public figure ka pero lumalabas dito sa iyong pinalabas na opisyal na pahayag sa pamamagitan ng iyong mga abogado, na ayaw mong may naririnig at nababasa na para sa iyo ay hindi kagandahan na kwento,” she said.
“Unang-una, public figures kayo, wag na natin gamitin yun public property dahil may sarili rin kayong buhay na dapat itira kahit kudlit lang para sa sarili niyo. Pero pigura kayo ng showbiz, public figures kayo, anumang nangyayari sa buhay niyo ay para kayong isda sa aquarium. Tinititigan kayo,” she added.
Aside from Dominic, Cristy was also facing charges from other celebrities.
