GMA Network’s ‘independent contractors’ Jojo Nones and Richard Cruz finally made a statement following the complaint made by Sparkle artist Sandro Muhlach against them.
In a statement released by Jojo and Richard’s legal counsel, Atty. Maggie Abraham-Garduque said that they were saddened by the criticism received by her clients despite not knowing yet the whole story behind the incident.
It can be recalled that Sandro accused Jojo and Richard of taking advantage of him after the GMA Gala 2024 at a hotel room where the event was held.
According to Atty. Magie, people should stop making baseless accusations against her clients and would only answer the allegations against them in the right place.
“Our clients are deeply saddened by the serious allegations hurled against them circulating on social media,” said Atty. Maggie. “We would like to reserve the right to respond in a proper forum when we receive a copy of the formal complaint,”
“For the meantime, we urge the public to respect the investigation being conducted on this case and we advise people who have no personal knowledge of the incident to refrain from posting baseless defamatory allegations and therefore unfairly subjecting both parties to publicity trial,” they added.
Nones was the creative consultant and head writer of some programs in GMA-7, while Cruz was also a head writer for some shows in the Kapuso network.
