Veteran television host-actor Vic Sotto filed a cyber-libel complaint against filmmaker Darryl Yap following the release of a teaser for Yap’s upcoming movie, “The Rapists of Pepsi Paloma.” Sotto, accompanied by his wife, actress and TV host Pauleen Luna, filed the complaint at the Muntinlupa City Regional Trial Court, stating this is his reaction to the controversy. Yap, on the other hand, stated that he will respond to the complaint and defended his film as presenting documented materials about the past, without maligning anyone.
Veteran television host-actor Vic Sotto yesterday filed a cyber-libel complaint against filmmaker Darryl Yap , following the release of a teaser for the latter’s upcoming movie, “The Rapists of Pepsi Paloma.”
Sotto, accompanied by his wife, actress and TV host Pauleen Luna, filed a formal complaint at the Muntinlupa City Regional Trial Court.“Many have been asking for my reaction since this issue came up. I have kept my silence. I have not answered questions. I guess this is it. This is my reaction,” Sotto told reporters outside the courthouse.“This is not some personal vendetta. I just trust in the justice system. I will fight irresponsible people, especially those on social media,” Sotto added.
“There is nothing personal. I am simply presenting what happened in the past as seen in publications from the 1980s. That has already been made public.” “I did not say that Vic Sotto is the one referred to by the title of the movie—they were the ones who said that. It is important for them to watch the entire film first. Thank you,” the filmmaker added.
Paloma was found dead in her apartment in 1985, with authorities ruling it a suicide. Her case, however, has been marked by allegations of sexual assault and coercion.
