Independent contractors and head writers Jojo Nones and Richard Cruz would ask GMA Network not to dismiss them after Sparkle actor Sandro Mulach filed a complaint against them.
In a statement, Atty. Maggie Abraham Garduque said that Sandro’s accusations against her clients were unsupported by evidence.
According to the lawyer, Sandro’s allegation against Jojo and Richard contradicted the evidence presented by the actor’s camp.
“Mr. Nones and Cruz dispute all the allegations in the complaint and move for the dismissal thereof not only for lack of evidence, but worst due to the fact that the own evidence of the complainant is contrary to his allegations in the complaint,” Atty. Garduque said in a text message she sent to Abogado.com.ph.
Atty. Gardque pointed out that Sandro claimed that Nones and Cruz had invited him to visit their room after the GMA Gala 2024. Still, the text message records indicated that the actor had asked the independent contractors if he could visit them.
She said that her clients would prepare more evidence to prove their innocence.
It can be recalled that Sandro accused Nones and Cruz of taking advantage of him after the GMA Gala.
GMA released a statement following Sandro’s revelation, saying they’re taking the matter seriously.
